PSPVECX 1.01 – The Vectrex Emulator for PSP

2347745342768Samstag from our forums has released an expanded public release of the PSPVECX 1.01 Vectrex emulator.

The Vectrex was a home console released in 1982 that included a vertically oriented vector monitor which was a desktop-sized Asteroids/Tempest-type display. The original console was also unique in that it included a built-in Asteroids clone (Mine Storm) and used a four-button control with an analog joystick. The Vectrex still has a very loyal following of fans and a healthy community of homebrew game programmers. Despite the age of the console, commercial games are still released once in a while.

PSPVECX is a port of the VECX Windows emulator written by Valavan Manohararajah. This version plays the built-in Mine Storm game. This is a work in progress. Future releases will add support for other games, sounds, better video emulation, etc. It has been tested on firmware 1.5 and 2.0 using Fanjita’s loader version 0.8.5. It should also work on 1.0 but has not been tested.
