Hi Bob,

Thank you for your welcome, and fast answer.
Got it. I see your idea, maybe there is an address - or range - we could read out using ML code we would inject using the CodeSprite and store it in the dual-port RAM. I have no clue if such addresses exist, but I will look around the web, and definitively keep reading this forum (and who knows, someone may know).

Hi Everyone,

First of all, let me introduce myself very quickly. I am a new owner of a Vectrex32 and started playing around this great tool. I used to have a Vectrex in 1984, "lost it", and recently bought one for fun.

I also have a working lightpen (tested with Art Master, as the second joystick), but I cannot find any function to read it (ideally the position it is pointing to as x, y). I tried using WaitForFrame, with the pen connected as the second joystick and reading out all the values for the second joystick (x, y, b1, ... b4 - in all possible modes) and pointing to the screen in various positions, but I get nothing but 0. Any suggestions on how to use the lightpen with Vectrex32?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.
