    Super Vectrex Multicart ©2021,©2022,©2023 by Arcade Jason / Ralf Kornmann. Usage notes and ROMs titles list.

    Usage notes and titles list in this document were compiled by Chris "Vectrexer" Romero from various posts.

    Super Vectrex Multicart (SVM) Usage Notes:

    Super Vectrex Multicart title selection functionality as used with the Vectrex Reset button. SVM supports a feature to use the Vectrex front panel "Reset" button in two different ways. A quick press. Or a long (greater than 1 second) press.

    Using the quick press feature of the Reset button will result in restarting the currently selected ROM title.

    Using the long press feature of the Reset button will result in returning to the SVM Main Menu allowing for selecting of a different ROM title.

    Some of the ROMs in the titles list are a multiple game title ROM in themselves. (e.g.: All Good Things.) After selecting the ROM the player will be presented with the title's menu inside the ROM for choosing other individual games inside the ROM.

    Some of the ROMs below require accessory hardware in order to start and use the title. Such as a Vectrex 3D Imager, Light Pen, or third party spinner controller.

    All "3D" ROM titles requiring the Vectrex 3D Imager will show a blank display after starting the game without the 3D Imager attached. (e.g.: "3D Crazy Coaster", 3D MineStorm", etc.) This is expected and normal operation for a 3D title. To see game play
    graphics displayed plug a 3D Imager into Vectrex Controller Port 2.

    All ROMs requiring the Vectrex Light Pen (LightPen) will provide only limited usage after starting the title without the Light Pen attached. (e.g.: "Art Master", "Mail Plane", etc.) The title will start and the game can be selected. But actions needing
    the Light Pen will be unavailble. (e.g.: In Mail Plane game play destination selection and package loading cannot be accomplished.)

    Original era and homebrew ROMs requiring extra RAM on the printed circuit board (PCB) are not supported by the Super Vectrex Multicart. No RAM exists on the SVM PCB. Those titles are not included on the SVM. (e.g.: "Animaction") Extra RAM was not
    included on the SVM PCB to keep the sale price as low as possible.

    All titles in the list noted with "(IL)" are a modified version of the title with infinite lives for use by the player.

    All titles in the list noted with "(Invincibility)" are a modified version of the title where the player cannot be hit and killed.

    All titles in the list noted with "(Level Select)" are a modified version of the title where the player can choose the starting level.

    All titles in the list noted with "(Spinner)" are a modified version of the title enabled to use a spinner controller. Usually in controller port 2.

    All titles in the list noted with "(Button)" are a modified version of the title enabled to use a the controller's buttons to control player moevement.

    All titles in the list noted with "(Joystick)" are a modified version of the title enabled to use a the controller's joystick to control player movement.

    All titles in the list noted with "(2D)" are a modified version of the title enabled to operate without the use of a Vectrex 3D Imager.

    All titles in the list noted with "(BCG)" are a ports from BASIC games by Ralf Kornmann based on the original games in the 1973 edition of "101 BASIC Computer Games" by David H. Ahl.

    All titles in the list noted with "(Speed)" are a modified version of the title incorporating increased speed of one or more game design elements as compared with the original title. (e.g: For Berzerk (Speed) the player, bullets, robots and Evil Otto all
    move a bit quicker.)
