    I normally don't post about items for sale outside the marketplace forums, but I'll make an exception for this: I spotted a Super Casse Brique for 150 Euros on eBay now, and open to offers: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185331902810

     

    If you buy it, please don't leave it sealed. Open that sucker up and play it!

     

    EDIT: gone. Well, that didn’t last long :(

    Wow, I remember back in 2015 when Ludikbazar was selling these for 10 EUR! I shouldn't be surprised, but it's crazy how much prices have risen... especially for such a niche system.

  2. I placed an order with him mid-January and had a pleasant email conversation with him about the particulars right up to the end of January when he just stopped responding. One of the first things he said was that my order would be sent in 14 days, but I have yet to receive so much as a shipment notification and I’ve reached out to him every couple of weeks. Does anyone here know him personally? I don’t want to harass him or anything, I’m just concerned that something has happened to him.

    I had a similar experience a few years' back. Had to chase quite a few times, but he did eventually send it. Frustrating, but it is worth the wait! :)

  3. I thought it was a separate title, learn something new every day. So is the entire collection 11 games?

    12 games in total:

     

    1. Alien Raiders / Space Blitz
    2. Baseball
    3. Block Buster
    4. Bowling
    5. Connect Four
    6. Cosmic Hunter
    7. Mindbuster
    8. Pinball
    9. Sea Duel
    10. Star Trek: Phaser Strike / Shooting Star
    11. Super Blockbuster / Super Casse Brique
    12. Vegas Slots

    A 13th game called Barrage was planned, but never released. Here's the box art:

  4. Received mine today (based in the UK) and I just have to say, what an amazing job you've done SainT! :) I really couldn't be happier with the flashcart - it's so easy to use (great instructions btw!) and everything just works flawlessly. Overall, it's very professional, down to the UI / menu switching, game flashing, 3D cartridge printing, etc and it's a massive upgrade to my Flashmasta!

  5. Super Casse Brique is my second favourite Microvision game next to Sea Duel! It's like Block Buster but you have to protect your blocks below your paddle too; here's my review - http://www.retrogamesreview.co.uk/2015/10/super-blockbuster-super-casse-brique-microvision-review.html

     

    I bought a boxed copy from http://www.ludikbazar.com/product/107513/microvision-08-super-casse-brique-nsb.html and looking now it's only 10EUR (plus shipping) and comes new, shrink-wrapped.

     

    Hope this helps.

  6. Hi everyone. I bought my second Vectrex console recently and it worked fine for a few days until the display started slanting to the right. Now the text is completely unreadable (see the attachment which shows the boot-up screen) and the collision detection is off, meaning I can't play any games with it. Everything else works perfectly though, e.g. clear sound, console boots up quickly, etc.

     

    Does anyone know what the problem could be?

     

    Also, are there any repair experts in the United Kingdom that might be able to fix this for me?

     

    Thanks for your help if you can!

  7. Received mine today - what an amazing cartridge. Thank you so much for making this Juan! :-)

     

    The instructions were very easy to follow but I did have one issue that I thought I'd post here in case anyone else comes up against it. Basically, I was using Juan's website on Internet Explorer 11 to remove the headers but each time the files would come back as 0 bytes. After a few failed attempts I decided to use Google Chrome and thankfully the files came back as perfect 128 KB conversions! In summary, avoid IE!

     

    On another note, does anyone know what file extensions I need to give the following PAL games as I can't see them on Juan's website?

     

    Super Skateboardin'
    Title Match Pro Wrestling
    F14 Tomcat
    Xevious

     

    Thanks,

     

    Rob.

    Vectrex newbie here who also wants a Madtronix imager. Tried reaching out by messaging through AA and also through their own site, to no avail. Regardless of lead time, is there any chance of getting one anymore?

     

    Madtronix is still making the 3D Imagers (see the 2016 update on his website) but I think he has a pretty long waiting list. I recently managed to get hold of one from him after a few months delay and it works brilliantly - definitely worth the wait!

  9. Hi there. I'm looking for a Madtronix 3D Imager but finding it very difficult to get hold of one. I think John (the guy who makes them) isn't producing them anymore as I've been trying to contact him for about a year now. Does anyone have one they're willing to sell with both colour wheels?

  10. Big thanks to jfmateos for helping me get this working. If you're using Windows 8.1 try the following:

     

    1. Press the Start menu button and do a search for gpedit.msc
    2. Once you've done this follow the instructions at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-hardware/how-do-i-prevent-system-volume-information-files/815b0046-d631-4419-a43e-44083a3733f5?page=2
    3. You should now be able to connect the burner to your PC without it disconnecting

    Boomah, check out the bottom of this page as it has some information about Macs - http://www.vectrex.hackermesh.org/index.php/en/mvbd-mvmc-3/faq-2. Does this help?
