[How to open Vectrex cartridge shell?]

I would purchase one of the repro cart shells from Sean

Darn,

 

They are "in store only" and there isnt a Microcenter near me

 

It's a WinBook TW102, microcenter has em for $80. Got mine around "back to school" time and had a coupon to get the keyboard for an extra $10, sadly attached the keyboard doesn't play nice with the uart drivers when used at the same time, so that's where the BT keyboard was needed. The speakers in the tablet suck but any little can speaker will do, great for the bass of some of these games. If you have already set up on laptop, copy over to new toy as is, I didn't have to mod it in any way. I like these WinBook thingy's, I have one mounted on my wall as a dedicated touch screen jukebox, another that is a remote for my garden railroad and now a vecfever one.

 

 

good day.

[Wanted: Vectrex manual scans]

In the meantime 17 out of 29 Vectrex manual²s are created.

 

I am progressing more slowly than expected - from today it will still take about 2 years until all manuals are ready.

 

Do you happen to have the list of fonts that you used? I find that the ones I downloaded are named differently, so I have to manually go through every page

Yeah it really is a slick set up. The original test vids from malban 6 months ago really got the loins tingling, tomson dropped some bread crumbs on me about a month ago and I upgraded my cart. Did tests with a full desktop but wondered how small could I go with it. Loaded the drivers and vecmame on a $80 windows tablet with the mgalaxy front end a small bluetooth kb and can speaker. Been testing a fw that adds the Atari driving controller "spinner" support for the og spinner coin op games and newer image calibration settings options. Just visually jaw dropping fantastically fun stuff.

 

Would you mind sharing the setup?

 

I have it running off a laptop, but I like your idea much better
