Vectrex Emulation Made Easy With ParaJVE

Recommended Posts

LOL, I have a Corsair Keyboard (K95 rgb) and a Mouse (M65 rgb) also.   Not going to buy a new Keyboard and Mouse.  Going to research a bit more. Might be a setting in iCUE software.   Otherwise, its Keyboard controls for Vectrex.

Thanks for the info nearvanaman!!!

Sorry to resurect an old thread but I've just revisted my Vectrex set up as I was getting the same missing controller issue with ParaJVE reported by some here, and I refuse to retire my trusty old Corsair KB.
Thought I would give Retroarch and the vecx core another go after previously finding it a poor second choice due to ropey vector display and lack of good overlay support.
Maybe I missed something before, but the overlays now work brilliantly and the vector display is very much improved. 
For those of you trying to get as much as possible to work in your RA environment it may be time to give it another go. ?

Best emulator so far is the VectrexOnline. It is in alpha stage yet. My only concern is the problematic TATE rotation which needs windows rotate. 

You can find a link in the 9th post here:

Thanks for the link. Not seen this one before. 

I don't know what the original console was like, but refresh performance is better with VectrexOnline than RA. However looks wise there's little chose between them. I'm prepared to compromise a little for convenience to bring this one into the Retroarch stable, and I imagine the core performance will improve over time.

The Retroarch core misses the "vector" look competely and there is no shader to fix this :(

Definitely used to be the case, but it's improved hugely on the vector look. Caveat: I have no experience of the original console.

Still shots compare quite favourably (RO on the left). Refresh performance however VO is clearly better for now.ComparisonPic.thumb.png.52c663cb515d5c06444622033fdf71ae.png
