PS3Vecx - Emulador de Vectrex.

PSGroove.com member Sdw, announced on our forums today, that he would be taking on a project to port a Vectrex emulator to the PS3. The project, called PS3Vecx, is very early in development, but it is still in playable form. It currently has no sound, but expect it to be added in a future update.

Here is what the author had to say regarding his project:

Hi all!

I've just started coding on the PS3 and my first project has been to port a Vectrex emulator.
Work in progress, (no sound yet for example), but it's playable and includes a bunch of ROMs.

The grey bars added on the side is needed because some TVs (like my Sony) will put the backligth way, way down if there are onyl a few white pixels on the screen, like in many vectrex games...

PS3Vecx v0.5 -

A Vectrex emulator for PS3 by Andreas "Shadow" Gustafsson (http://www.ag1976.com)
Released 2011-01-06.
This is a port of the Vectrex emulator "vecx", by Valavan Manohararajah.
Done using the PSL1GHT open SDK.

Navigate the menus with d-pad, cross to select.

In game:
D-pad : Vectrex Joystick
Square : Vectrex button 1
Triangle : Vectrex button 2
Cross : Vectrex button 3
Circle : Vectrex button 4
Start : Pause menu

Since I couldn't get directory browsing working in PSL1GHT, I precompiled
the emulator with a selection of old calssic and new homebrew ROMs.

This is an early version, there is no sound support and probably some other bugs as well.

Thanks to:
Everyone who made PS3 homebrew possible
The PSL1GHT team,
The guys behind PS3Load/PS3LoadX (made development sooo much easier),
The people who created a ready-to-go-dev-VM for lazy bastards like myself who doesn't want to mess about with setting up a dev-environment!
