masschamber Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 has anyone used one of these multi carts http://cgi.ebay.com/31-Vectrex-Games-on-Mu...1QQcmdZViewItem I rectently aquired a vectrex and this seems like an ideal solution for gameplay, just wondering if anyone has an opinion of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brasky Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 It seems like a strange design to me. Menu-driven Vectrex multicarts that can hold the entire library to date on one cart have been around for years. I don't know why he didn't just copy that design instead of coming up with his own that can only hold like 11 games and has to come on multiple carts.

+remowilliams Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Never saw anything like those. You might want to check out the VecFlash - it's awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 One word.........GENERIC!!! Just buy a Sean Kelly version. Be patient, they show up from time to time and are way cooler than that piece of garbage. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieAtari Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 VecFlash is definitely the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brasky Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I 2nd Vecflash. That way you can just put on the games you want to play. I had two Sean Kelly multicarts and it was a pain in the ass to turn the system off and on every time to get back to the menu, then sit through the annoying menu song and then have to scroll through a bunch of sound/graphics demos, protos, crap games to get to the one you want. You probably don't want every game/demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I'd personally love to get a VecFlash, but the problem that I and a few other people here have is that we don't have a PC to use with it. There's no Mac OS X software. There's Commodore Amiga drivers, but not Mac. Until that time, I'll stay away from the VecFlash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard H. Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 There's no Mac OS X software There's a guy I know from RGV working on Linux and Mac versions of the loader. I'm not familar with Macs, but I imagine it would have to have a serial card of some sort ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Or a USB-to-Serial converter. I bought one to use with my Intellicart, but I haven't ever used it to see how well it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masschamber Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 that vecflash does look nice, but I've decided just to buy a handful of John Dondizila's homebrews instead, All good things, and patriots just seem sweet, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieAtari Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Supporting homebrew games is a good thing, and you can pick up loose, common Vectrex carts for reasonable prices on eBay etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I'll be getting a VecFlash of my own, based on the great feedback I've seen here. If any Mac users want someone to flash a cartridge, I'd be willing to do so as a favor ... not that Windows machines are hard to come by, but I understand how it is when you don't have compatibility with everything.
