      Well, I spoke too soon. I can confirm that 'Mine Storm' launches in place of any game chosen from emulation station. In an effort to quickly confirm, I was only looking at the overlays instead of the actual game. I gave it another look and sure enough, it's 'Mine Storm' or nothing.

            I can confirm it - I have opened a ticket - https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/1607

            It will most likely be due to a breaking change in the libretro core or retroarch I should think.

              Upstream issue https://github.com/libretro/libretro-vecx/issues/6 - I will build a new binary before this broke so you can update now, and hopefully the upstream change will be fixed or reverted.

                Working binaries are rebuilt - please update lr-vecx via retropie-setup or from commandline you can do sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh lr-vecx install_bin

                  Works like a charm. Thanks again.

                  If you want to play these with their original overlays, have a look here.

                    @BuZz Thanks for the update, I can confirm that it works again!

                    @mediamogul That is exactly what I had been doing :-) The only thing that I miss is the Vectrex cabinet, and the glow that the original display had for the lines.

                      Hi Guys, sorry for the newbie q here but got a bit of an odd one.

                      Originally downloaded the link from mediamogul I think it was, copied into vectrex roms folder on pi3.

                      But stupidly I used zipped roms which didnt work. It just kept selecting minestorm.

                      Didn't realise this was a potential bug anyway, so removed everything from roms folder, unzipped roms and sent over everything again.

                      Now I can't get any of the overlay's to work even though the folder structure is no different and it still keep selecting minestorm?

                      What Gives? Is it looking for a specific title for the rom? Why are my overlays now not working...jeez!

                      Updated lr-veccx btw via retropie setup and currently running retropie 3.8.1

                      Any help would be much appreciated, thanks guys

                        @joeblade did you go into retropie setup and update retropie setup, then install the emulator from there?
