Always wondered how difficult it would be to hook up one of the old multicolor vector screens to an emulator and be able to play games like Star Wars and Asteroids in true vector presentation instead of a raster approximation. Going to guess the emulator would need a completely different rendering subsystem and the computer would need a custom video out to drive the vector monitor. Maybe without a good source of working multicolor vector monitors it wouldn't be worth the effort but it would be nice to have something closer to the real deal without needing to collect a large number of cabinets.
- puddingcat 3y agoBack in the early '00s there was such a device - the Zector ZVG. It was driven via parallel port and used a custom version of MAME. I'm sure somebody in the VAC scene started work on a replacement after these ended production. I had an ZVG and it was pretty good. But now I just play my Star Wars cockpit.
