Vectrex UV Frame 2.0 SMART FRAME Mr James G Watt 2022-04-10 | Introducing the new SMART FRAME. Our UV frame has been around for a good few years now so we thought it was time for an upgrade.Smart Frame supports all of Laurence Bennions UV overlays with adjustable UV light but with the addition of addressable RGB LEDs, we can now produce white light to illuminate his wonderful new anaglyphic 3D overlays. I tiny splash of white light is also quite nice on a conventional overlay if you're playing in the dark.But that's not the half of it, the big innovation is that our fame lights can now be controlled by the Vectrex! So games can be coded to include splashes of colour! We're calling this "Colour Splash Technology"tm 🙂Colour Splashes used in conjunction with specially created overlays and games gives us a new ability to highlight specific parts of the screen too. Have a look at the video and you'll see what I mean.I hope you like our new baby. PCBs are in production and I think I'm feeling up to doing some manufacturing once more, so hopefully these will be available soon along with the original UV frame.

Vectrex on an arcade monitor, part 2. Mr James G Watt 2019-10-18 | I've solved the interference problem on the vectors although the text issue persists.
Vectrex on an arcade monitor. Mr James G Watt 2019-10-16 | This is a vectrex logic PCB adapted to run on an arcade vector monitor (a 15V2000 Wells Gardner Vector monitor from a cabaret battlezone originally but running in an asteroids cabaret).Now there are still a couple of issues.1: there's a ripple visible on the vectors. I think it may be a ground issue but I can't track it down.2: there's something not quite right with the text. The vectrex creates text by drawing 7 lines and adjusting the Z off and on as the beam travels along. It's a bit like how a TV image is created. But the issue is the beam looks like it's not turning on quite fast enough ?? so long dashes are bright but short dashes appear to dim. Don't know why that's happening.
A bootleg copy of Nox / Death Chase on the vectrex. Mr James G Watt 2019-08-28 | So someone has been making unauthorised copies of our games and selling them at game shows.

UV Asteroids Deluxe overlay on a vectrex. Mr James G Watt 2019-03-14 | 2 UV Asteroids Deluxe overlays created by Laurence Bennion for the vectrex.As first glance i thought they'd be too opaque but even though the image is quite busy, it's very playable and the vectrex graphics shine through quite effectively. I did crank the brightness way up mind.Absolutely beautiful work. I want one for my AD cabaret now.
Vectrex in an Asteroids cabaret, WIP Part 2 Mr James G Watt 2019-03-13 | Progress, added an amp to the Z signal as suggested by Arcade Jason and now i have a bright picture. Unfortunately I also have wiggly interference on the vectors.
