Atari the Jedi Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Looking for a vectrex multicart any good ones out there? I would like on I can load or a cool menu. I'd rather not have switches. Anyone know where I can buy a good multi cart? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard H. Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I've got a few VecMulti carts built. SD card + menu system. It can run 64K bins and games requiring additional memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixdownita Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 And how much is it for one? (does come with a proper shell or it bare PCB?) [i own 2 vec multis already, 1 with the dip switches and one with the menu but no SD/flash support, so maybe I should get the real deal if it's not too expensive] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari the Jedi Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 I got my multicart and I couldn't be happier. If anyone is on the fence I'd say Richard's cart is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+-^CrossBow^- Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I just received my VecMulti from Richard in today's post and I couldn't be more pleased with it! Thanks a ton Richard and for any looking for a good Vectrex multicart... Richard's VecMulti is the multicart you seek! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I have a VecMulti. It works... But I find it's a bit finicky. Quite often, a game will crash and when I try to reset it, I get dumped back to the startup menu. If I try to reload the original ROM or another, it often locks up the Vectrex with a black screen. At that point, I have to power cycle my Vectrex and try again until the next crash. To be fair, maybe this is my Vectrex - but I have several other carts, including 3 different home brews, and my Vectrex doesn't misbehave with any of those.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 So far everything I tried on it has worked just great without any issues. Minus one demo. The Lineart demo locks up when it should be displaying the teapot on my Vectrex. In fact all the lineart.bin files lock up on it at some point. But that is the only program I've found to have a problem. Not sure that is the VecMulti or my Vectrex either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If you have a problem with any ROM, trying running it through the Patcher.exe program as there are a few that require a few tweaks to get them to work from flash memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I had to do this as well when I first got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari the Jedi Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Now all of my regular carts are pissed and jealous that the vecmulti is getting all the attention. As they sit on the bench 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerSpaceFan Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 LOL I was gonna post that! It's my video. Waaahhh!!! Heh heh yes I am absolutely in love with this cart, Richard. Your Vec Flash USB was the bees knees back in its day but this one is awesome. By the way, I might have had my dates wrong, I don't think I did buy your VecFlash thirteen years ago, were they even around back then? Regardless, this is a fantastic item and I've already had some folks ask me where to buy. I have pointed them to this forum post, I hope that's okay? And Richard, here's hoping you've got a warehouse full of more carts cuz I think you're going to get some orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I bought my second VecFlash (the improved 31 slot version) at CGE 2007, it was one of the special editions Richard made with the engraved dog tag. I think I bought the original VecFlash the previous year or 2005. So VecFlash has been around at least ten years. Before that, it was a serial connection to the cartridge, I'm still missing a version of that for my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard H. Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Thanks ! BTW I can fix your VecFlash if you want (I have a few spare bits for it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Btw Richard, are you ever going to get your website back up and running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard H. Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 are you ever going to get your website back up and running? My internet provider (Pipex) was taken over by TalkTalk. Since then I have been unable to upload / use my web space. Talked to them MANY times. No solution given and they just ignore me now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Assuming you've got everything backed up anyhow, I'd just cancel it and go somewhere else! My parents were on AOL UK which is now owned by TalkTalk too, and are having their own problems trying to get access to their online account management...
