Xvextrex v1(by madmab)

Thank you Rojola for the french translation.

Xvectrex is an xbox port of vecx, a vectrex emulator.
The screen and joystick are emulated.

* Don't forget. ROMs need to be unzipped.

* Added in overlay support from Vectrex SDL version

* Added in sound support from Vectrex Dingo (note: Annoying buzz sound fixed)

* Emulator now remembers the location of last selected rom.

* I included some extra system ROM files. To use them just rename them to "rom.dat". They are "fast.dat" and "skip.dat". Warning: Some games don't like "skip.dat".

* Filename are displayed in full case. Sort code modified to handle this.

*******
* To Do *

+ Overlay positioning and/or size may be off just a little.

+ Maybe alternate controller configurations?

+ Convert to madmab edition interface.

I found a bug in XvectrecX where if you start a game, press start, display the file list and press start again the emu would get stuck in a loop.

* Sound!

* BIOS selectable between "Default", "Fast Intro", and "Skip Intro"

* Madmab edition interface with Xtras support and other goodies!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

For now this emulator compliments my release of XvectreX v1b1 until that emulator is "madmabized"!. Here are the pros and cons of it compared to XvectreX.

Pros

* Uses madmab edition interface

* Appears to have slightly more accurate sound.

* Buttons are mappable, video mode selectable, etc (everything you've come to expect from a madmab edition emu).

* Analog joystick support may be possible.

Cons

* Slower in some cases (xvectrex is way faster)

* No overlay support (yet)

* What else is there to say? Just read the to do list and watch the progress of this emulator


*****************
* To do for MessTrex *
*****************

* Add in overlay support.

* Add in analog support for games that use it.

* Add option for Antialiased vectors (Yes/No)?

* Add option for Flicker (0 - 100% ) ?

* Add option for Beam Width ( 1 - 16 in 0.05 increments) ?

* Cheat system needs checking it should be working.

* Should I enable predefined controllers / config DB? (some games use funky setups)

********
* Issues *
********

* Rewind is b0rked and probably will stay b0rked. (Most likely an issue of old MESS render code VS new render code.
