- VECTREX -
DVE, by Keith Wilkins, is currently the only Vectrex emulator and
it's only available for DOS. Although DVE supports most games and
has sound, it requires a fairly speedy system to run well, meaning
that 486 owners are out of luck. In addition, it has some compatibility
problems with certain video cards and monitors. Nevertheless, the
emulator has some neat features such as sound and the ability to use
color overlays for games (just like the real thing). Keith also
distributes the source code in hopes that DVE will be ported to other
platforms so it is likely that Mac and Unix users won't be left out in
the cold for long.
