Caanoo-Vectrex : Vectrex Emulator For Caanoo V1.1.0

[zx-81]

Hi All,

VecX emulates the Vectrex game console on systems such as Linux and Windows.
It has been written by Valavan Manohararajah.

Caanoo-Vectrex is a port on Caanoo of one latest version of VecX.

What's new compared to original version :

- Major speed improvements :
+ 6809 emulation
+ vector rendering
+ remove vector cash (buggy and time consuming)
- Sound emulation completly rewritten and inspired
from 8910 driver of xmame.
- The rotate 90' view is now much faster and it is used
as default render mode.
- Save state modification, it is now faster to save state
(but previously saved games are not compatible with this
new version !)
- Add .vec and .gam file extention as valid rom extention
- Add option to change color between gray and blue


Binary version and the source code can be found on my blog :

Any chance of a port to the GP2X? It would be well appreciated. It was one of the few systems which was really missed by a lot of GP2X users

i can try to port it to wiz & gp2x

The emulator works fine! Thanks!
Just a little problem with the image resized (small details sometime disappear)... in any case I think that this is inevitable, since as the native Vectrex resolution (330x410 pixels) needs to be readapted to a QVGA display (320x240 pixels)...

Small correction, the Vectrext didn't had a fixed resolution of 330x410 pixels, cause it used a vector CRT display, pixels didn't exist on such a machine.

Yes, I was wrong: 330x410 pixels it's the native default resolution of VecX emulator!

i had to modify original vecX resolution (330x410) for performance reasons. So you're right, few "pixels" are missing on the borders.

on gp2x, it's too slow (15 fps max ...)

nice...
but please add a deadzone for the analogstick, at least for the menu.
