Hi, just to let you guys know – today I was able to get my new 19 inch monitor working! There are still 2 capacitors I have to change on the vectrex mainboard to get a larger picture – but…
8th of November – 19″ Monitor!
In VIA we trust!
As posted on the proboard forum and at some stages on this blog… There is a “problem” when using the shiftregister and doing bi-direction raster output using it. Thomas had the idea that this problem is due to the fact,…
Accumulated changes…
In the last days I did quite a couple of small changes to Vide. Following some I can remember :-)! 1. Vedi – The editor a) above you see some of the changes I made to Vedi. You can now…
Malban – Vide diary – 8th of November 2016 II
Just a small note. I added two options to Vide, T1- and Shift- delays. This is not the correct emulation of VIA I mentioned in the last post – but fiddling with the settings I was able to get…
8th November: Emulation deficiencies
During my last holidays (which were computer and vectrex – free) I had much spare time. As it happens when you have spare time on your hands – the thoughts wander of in different directions. Since I have been thinking…
Print String
Today I would like to write a little about string-printing (same applies to all raster images). How are strings drawn by vectrex BIOS? The vectrex BIOS stores a raster “image” of all characters supported, this can be seen e.g. by…
Vectrex hardware differences?
I am still trying to enhance emulation by examining vectri. I own 3 vectri and they seem to be of different “Generations”, but I have not opened them to see what actual hardware is inside. I think I have a…
Vide diary – 13th of April 2016
The last couple of days were <sound> days. Malban hates sound and audio, at least programming wise. There was a crackling noise (especially under windows) when emulation started/ended/paused/breakpointed etc. – quite bothersome! It turned out it had to do with…
Vide diary – 13th of March 2016
Dear diary, today – a short while ago – great frustration was lifted of Malbans back. The last 1 1/2 weeks Malban was in research mode and explored vectrex, emulation, emulation faults and other programs (for a small clean sweep…
