IIRC it ought to reset and boot into the menu once the files have transferred across.

If it takes time to warm up and display, you will likely need to replace the capacitors. As the CRT display operates on high-voltage, you will need to discharge the monitor flyback before working on it or risk painful electrical shock or even death. If you are unsure, try to find an old-school tv repairman in your area to do the job for you.

No ROM exists. A 'lite' edition is a possibility but would likely come after the next run.

Is this def getting a re-release?
Hopefully at some point this year. But these things take time, especially the overlay printing.

Hehe looks like it is worth $300 to someone
There should hopefully be a reprint at some point this year, no need to pay ebay prices. -
Does it happen when the vecadapt is not plugged in? Permanently pressed or glitching buttons can be a sign of your sound chip failing. It's an easy fix - just replace the chip (providing your sound chip is socketed on the Vectrex PCB).

Yes, I tend to produce games in runs as free time is limited. But feel free to contact me if you miss a run as I may be able to help.

Update adds 4 save slots for different sounds.
Controls :
Left/Right on joystick to select sound register.
Button retriggers the hardware envelope.
Button 4 and joystick L/R to change values.
Button 3 changes values in steps of 10, Button 2 steps of 100.
You can save into 4 slots by holding down on the joystick and pressing button 1-4. You can load these slots by holding up on the joystick and pressing buttons 1-4 to recall.

The AY-38912 Sound Tool allows you to manipulate the AY sound chip registers. Can be used to check functionality of the AY chip as well as create interesting drones and live sound effects. May also prove useful for homebrew programmers to check pitch etc values when programming sound effects.

Awesome, but how do hook up a trackball to my vectrex?
Plug an Atari CX-80 or CX-22 (i think, don't have one of these to test) to Vectrex Port 2. Buttons 3 + 4 on the Vectrex controller to fire.

I was talking to Sean about it just the other day. It's definitely happening.

Just FYI - There is a clear shell order being organised by Sean Kelly at the moment (the order from the other thread on transparent shells).

What is the deal with this tape they put on so many ColecoVision boxes?

I've also seen it on Vectrex games. It's likely a form of "cut-out", where items meant to be sold in a discount bin (typically records, CDs and tapes but can also be videogames) would have a hole punched in them, or corner cut off to ensure they will not be sold at full price.
