Vex3DS is an emulator of Vectrex, a home video game console that uses vectorial graphics released in November 1982.

The original code is from vecx by Valavan Manohararajah.

Installation

In the zip file there is a Vex3DS folder with the program in 3dsx format. This folder have to be placed in the 3DS folder.

There is also a Vectrex folder to be placed in the root of the SD. This folder has 3 subfolder:

  • Roms - Where you can put roms and overlays.
  • Bios - Where the emulator seraches bios.dat (the BIOS file free for non commercial use) and bios.png files (included in the zip).
  • Skin - This folder contains the default image for the menu top screen.

Attached there is also a zip file with a set of overlays resized for the 3DS.

A romset to be used with these overlays can be downloaded here. Roms can have .bin or .vec extension.
