playvectrex Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Ahh, ok thanks.... I thought they might have elaborated a bit. Seeing that it's the end of February now... and no updates from anyone... I wonder what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Display Name Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Just received an official email! Dear pre-orderers of »Hera Primera«, The delivery date for the overlays has finally been set. They will arrive on 4 April. Delivery of the »Hera Primera« can therefore begin on 8 April 2024. Please find attached a photo of the last overlay prototype and pictures of the module production. Thank you for your patience. Sounds like they experienced another delay, but it's nice to have a date. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a shipping notification, written in German, but it looks like shipping is impending for my order. The month and date digits seem to follow European format in all the communications I've received...I'm hoping your July date is just a mix-up along those lines. Good luck!

hcmffm Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Yesterday I've received my copy of Hera Primera. I assume that in the next days many people will receive their copy, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you played it? Someone experienced issues with their cart ("...Cartdridge shows up the Vetrex Start-Screen an then IT DISSAPEARS."). I'm wonder if that's a one-off, or if all of the carts may be affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I'm not a Facebook user, but a friend mentioned that the author confirmed that there is an issue, and that shipping has been temporarily suspended. Though the grapevine, I heard the issue is related to no-buzz Vectrexes, but I haven't confirmed that. Still haven't received my official shipping notification, so it looks like I've got a while longer before I'll be playing any Hera Primera.

I haven't played Hera Primera but I tried to run it. Result is that Hera Primara runs on buzz-Vectrex consoles but does not run on non-buzz Vectrex consoles (Serial numbers 31xxxxx and 4xxxxxx). Poly.play is currently ellaborating this and is looking for a solution. Edited April 19 by hcmffm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poly.play is currently ellaborating this and is looking for a solution. I believe the issue is the /CARTS line is used to drive /CE on the PROM, but no-buzz veccy's don't have that line connected, so it floats around. This causes the data lines to output garbage while the system is booting, which interferes with read/writes to the VIA, RAM and MCU. If you want to try this mod, it should work. Cut the trace highlighted in pink, wherever you can... and then add a wire where the blue one is shown. Keep the solder on the PCB finger near the top to avoid getting it down by where the cart edge connector in the vectrex touches the PCB fingers. UPDATE: One person has confirmed this mod works on their 31xxxxx vectrex I Edited April 19 by playvectrex 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted Monday at 08:34 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:34 PM Mine just arrived and it works as expected on my unmodded console. Btw, it doesn’t include a manual? Just want to confirm with those that have received theirs, as mine didn’t include a manual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjay75 Posted Tuesday at 08:45 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:45 AM I received mine with a manual. The game runs but unfortunately, I have another problem I've never experienced before on any other vectrex game: while the ship and orb with the human are displayed correctly, the enemies flying down in formation have an extremely low brightness level making them nearly invisible even without the overlay. With the overlay, it's unplayable. I don't think it's my vectrex because Minefield, Berzerk and Kristof's Vector Patrol are being displayed correctly, with and without overlays. My vectrex is an unmodded 3000-GI-Euro. Does anyone have any idea what's happening here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
