shantke Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Does the Vecmulti work with both buzz and no buzz machines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Late to the party and a newbie so apologies. Is the Vecmulti still available? Do they work with NTSC and PAL machines? How much are they? How much is shipping to the US? Email or PM Richard, he should be able to tell you if he's still got any left in stock. But on a wider answer, yes he is still making them. There is no PAL/NTSC for Vectrex, all carts work on all machines. Does the Vecmulti work with both buzz and no buzz machines? It does, but it's not guaranteed 100%. Some no buzz machines just don't like any flash based cartridges. Should work 100% on buzz machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shantke Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks for the info! I sent Richard H a pm. I wonder why they won't work on some No Buzz machines, is it the BIOS version that makes the difference or the hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Yes, it's the BIOS checksum, there were a few changes made, including fixing Minestorm for the level 13 bug, that might be the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltermixxx Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Buzz is subjective, how does one tell if they have a buzz or non buzz version? is it manufacture date? if you have nothing to compare it to, figuring if you have a buzz might be difficult? I regret getting rid of my spare Vectrex's... what if I have a no buzz machine...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shantke Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 This video explains the differences between the buzz and no buzz mschines- I got my VecMulti in the mail today. Now I just have to get a Vectrex to test it. :+) I'll report on the cart when I get one. Yes I got the cart before the system, but I knew the system isn't near as fun without the cart and I figured they might be in limited supply and if I waited until I got a Vectrex I might not have been able to get a VecMulti.

micahcowan Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 It's a shame these sell out so quickly - but I can certainly see why! I'm currently on the waiting list for the next batch, whenever that will be. Does anyone have a spare they'd be interested in selling me? I promise to put it to good development use. ^_^ I just received the MATEOS kit today, but unfortunately I can't get the burner to work so far (I was very careful to follow all instructions and the FAQ, with particular attention to OSes that automatically generate hidden files that confuse the device). I've reached out to Mateos concerning that, but SD card + menu would sure be convenient, regardless of whether I get the Mateos burner to work.
