ClockworkRobot Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hi, I've created a little interface PCB for the vectrex. It offers an alternative to the digital joystick hack. Unlike the old hack that requires you to attach some switches to +5 and some to -5, this one uses a common ground, it makes it much simpler to wire. Iw has originally designed so i could attach an asteroids control panel to my vectrex without having to hack up the original wiring. Anyway if you're building digital joysticks for the vectrex or hooking a vectrex to an arcade cabinet, this may be of interest to you. Check it out.http://www.clockworkrobot.com/joystick-interface-board/ And if you'd like to buy one, check out the shop then drop me an email: clockworkrobot(at)gmail.com 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
