@sleve_mcdichael thanks mate. Got it now. Just needed to get the path fixed. Armor Attack has terrible screeching audio. Other than that all working great.

Got the problem figured out. It was PEBCAK apparently. Not to be confused with ID10T errors. I had to pull the games out of the .7z archives then all worked well. My wife is so happy she gets to play vectrex!

@lektroid
It looks like it's a known issue - somebody's already raised it on github.

@zerojay said in Vectrex emulator with GPU rendering:

It looks like the pull request for this was accepted 3 days ago.

@mitu said in How to change default Vectrex overlay directory:

\retropie\configs\all\retr

Oh, that's great. I didn't know that was the correct path for Vectrex overlays. Thanks!!!

@neurocrash Just in case anyone else gets the same idea, I was able to run Dos Vectrex Emulator in Retropie Dosbox, and while it looks great, it is far too slow on my Raspberry Pi 3. I think it runs at about 50% of the original speed.

Cheers

@neurocrash Nevermind, it was supposed to be opened with the Hotkey+X button, but on the diagrams for controller buttons reverse the X and Y keys, so I had them mapped backwards.

I finally used the retroarch menu (Select+X) and remapped the controls here. It works fine.
I think that the problem was the special syntax for Vectrex.

never mind.... i'm dumb.... i choosed a wrong romset from my archive... doh! Vectrex works... :)

@edmaul69 Is there no fix?

@edmaul69 Yes, tried the game mode. Thanks!
