Is it worth starting a roster for those planning on participating so we can get an idea how many will be playing this year? From Chicago, IL USA there will be three of us: PlayVectrex - me Munch - my son VectorWolf - my daughter Getting excited! I have three Veccies tuned up and ready to play so we all have a dedicated machine to play on  |

Cool, Bedlam and Rip Off are two of my childhood favorites. Really hope that I will find the time to participate this year.
Cheers, Peer

Vectrexians Will you put a zip together with all the freely available binaries? I think you did that last year, it was ready useful to be sure you had the correct versions. If not, maybe worth having a list of URLs where to find each one? |

Thank you for this question/hint, Phil. I've just packaged the binaries. All free binaries for VW XYou can download a ZIP archive with all free binaries played in VW X. When unpacking the ZIP archive a folder "VW10-binaries" is created. Please make sure to put the plain binaries (without folder) on your flash device unless you know your flash device supports folders. |

Hello All...
I received today my Vectorblade PCB from Brett. THANK YOU Brett, and also for the stickers that you added :-)
And a big THANK YOU to Malban, after playing the first time Vectorblade, I'm impressed. What a great game, I already love it, even my first game only lasts until level 15. Not only the gameplay is extreme great, but also the presentation, menu, help screens, and I'm sure I didn't discover everything yet after my first look at the game. It's really a masterpiece!
I think the best thing that happened to me this year it getting Vectorblade !!!

I will provide a Vectrex Paddle as a prize. Thank you very much for your donating a Vectrex Paddle as prize for Vector War X, solderguy. Could you perhaps provide a photo/link of your Vectrex paddle (I guess I should know you and your Vectrex paddles from the facebook group)? Hello All... I received today my Vectorblade PCB from Brett. THANK YOU Brett, and also for the stickers that you added :-) ... Vectorblade is really something special and it's very cool that Malban made the binary publicibly available. And it's great and important that there are people like Brett around who provide the right hardware for the software. That's all really much appreciated! |

Wow, solderguy ! This is a great price. If I won't win it, would you tell me how I rebuild my Atari Driving paddle?  |

Every Day Is Halloween (Competition Version) for use in Vector War X. This version disables life extends and disables all cheats. When submitting a score, please take a pic/screenshot of the high score table with "VWX HI-SCORES" visible so Helmut knows you're not cheating  Download here : binarystarsoftware.com/bin/EDIH_VectorWarX.BINThank you for doing this Chris! I am having an issue and wondering if anyone else has gotten this version to work on a multicart. I have a Vecmulti. Downloaded and copied the bin over, recreated the menus. Tried it in two different Vectrex units with the same result: I see the game on the menu, select it, and then see the title screen. When I press a button to continue, I see a quick flash of a vector, then a black screen and nothing more. |

Pretty sure I need to use the ROM patcher on the file, but I can't get it to work. Does anyone know where there is documentation on the Vecmulti ROM patcher program? Having no luck.
