So it is

EDIT:

Oi, you can't change your mind! You put "Solar Quest" first and that is it now

 

[berighteous]

lol!

Either.

I'd donate twice!

I found a java vectrex emulator for the pc and linux, so we can play while we wait for gp2x vectrexy goodness.
java vectrex emulator

It includes all the cart roms (they're pd now) and some homebrew roms, html manuals for all the games, and overlays. Molly!

No real feature development as such, but I have managed to reduce the size of the exe...

It's now 52KB (yes, 52KB). Even if I include the vectrex rom, it only takes it up 60KB, and thats statically linked!

I think we need a 64KB Emulator competition

do you remember the cheat in spike to get you to level 112 ? i do.. lol

That's amazing. The Vectrex roms are tiny, you could attach them all and be around 200k.

HELLO.....

Tiny emulators aren't interesting. To have a fast emulator you have to make size/space tradeoffs!

 

[Squidge]

Yeah, I know, but creating a 64KB (or in this case 52KB) emulator was interesting, and thus it was done

This one simply takes a while to startup, due a couple of lookup tables being created (kinda like lots of the 64KB PC demos out there)

Could you share this little gem with us, brother?

 

[thumpgun]

its nice to share...

 

[Squidge]

Sure, but I'd have to warn you that it contains no extra features, and is actually slower than the previous version as it's compiled for size, not speed.

 

[berighteous]

but do you have mine storm working yet? The old version crashed on level 2.

Molly!

Normally I am not interested in emulators because of the "using people's code against their will" aspect that is usually involved in getting ROMS and pretty much always involved in the device's operating system. Reading this thread has gotten me interested though, as it appears that producing a Vectrex emulator does not have such problems as the software is in the public domain.

I think I might like to have a go at this, but I don't want to step on any toes. Are there any objections?

When I was in college living in the dorms, a friend of mine and I spent many hours playing "Rip Off". Fond memories.
