General Discussion / Re: Emulators for Vectrex32?
September 21, 2016, 03:30:09 PM
Both ideas would benefit the Vectrex32 and would be something exclusive for it.
A PC emulator of the Vectrex32 would do nothing but add more games for it's users. More games gives it more clout and creates more reason to buy it even if the PC only people don't. They'd still need the actually Vectrex32 Smart cart to play them on the Vectrex.
If there was anyway to convert games with a sub program, it could add a number of games at once. People especially ask for ports of Vector Arcade games so that functionality would be a great boon. As for legality, if it were possible to input the game and out the Vectrex32 compatible file then it probably wouldn't be an issue. I think the ZVG just took the emulated vectors of the game file and made them vector monitor ready. So as not to create legal issues flash carts and emulators tend to be separate from roms. This leaves the issues of legality to the user and not the creator or the software/hardware.
