    Reasonable price?

    in Vectrex

    Posted · Edited by Dieter Laser

    Hmm, yeah. Prices in America are a bit different. I bought my Vectrex at eBay Kleinanzeigen, which is the flea market version with no bidding, no service. It's not even eBay anymore, it's another company that bought the name. I would have a look at craigslist. I also see people putting in overpriced Vertexes month after month but they are not getting sold

    Download VB 6.0 Common Controls

     

    However, you may try the Visual Basic 6.0 Common Controls (includes comctl32.ocx) from the following Microsoft Download Center link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10019

     

    Don't run the setup. Instead, open the exe file using 7-Zip or any other archiving utility and extract the file Comctl32.OCX file to the following folder:

    Copying the OCX file:

     

    For Windows 64-bit systems, extract the OCX file to: C:\Windows\SysWOW64

     

    For Windows 32-bit systems, extract the OCX file to: C:\Windows\System32

     

     

    Register the OCX file:

     

    Right-click Start, click Command Prompt (Admin)

     

    If you're using Windows 32-bit, type the following command and press ENTER:

     

    regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx

     

    If you're using Windows 64-bit, type the following command and press ENTER:

     

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32   C:\Windows\SysWOW64\comdlg32.ocx

    OMG! Tack! they all work now! You are the best, man. I just got quarantined, because some stupid people came to work with a cold and got tested positive afterwards, so this is the best present ever. I will get tested on monday, I don't think I have it, but I'm still locked up. I know what I will be doing now! Thanks again!

    thanks for the feedback! Does somebody know what the ROM_patcher.exe is doing? unfortunately, I can't use it. It would also be great to get the final version of Bloxorz running. It's such a great puzzle game for the Vectrex

    no overlays vs overlays vs uv overlays

    in Vectrex

    Posted

    i got my vectrex not too long ago and it didn't come with any overlays.

    i really dig the monochromatic glowing but as i don't know what the experience would be, since it's my first vectrex, i don't know what i'm missing out on. 

     

    so, does it make much of a difference to you, when you use an overlay?

     

    im not so interested in the authenticity factor of using the right overlay for a game, so the uv overlay looks pretty cool to me

     

    i could also imagine buying a circle and horizon overlay from here to be able to use it for different games
