Wanted: Vectrex Multicart

[ClubNinja]

Yep. You have one to sell or trade? Let me know. Know where to direct me to buy my own? Let me know. Thanks mucho.

Stay away from Sean Kelly. He's got a lot of unhappy, backordered customers for his multicarts.

[vintagegamecrazy]

I live near Video Games Etc. and talk to Sean often, he no longer makes those multicarts he also doesn't have the ability to make the Atari 5200 one any more either. Just a heads up.

[chadtower]

Though the vectrex usenet group holds recent posts stating that he still accepts orders for them. That's shady.

If they are still available (and I have no idea if they are) I highly recommend the VecRam cart instead. You load the roms yourself as you want them, so it's never out of date. With all of the freeware homebrew roms this is significant.

he told me he was trying to get a batch out for CGE but never had the time, and that maybe when cge was done he would do some up. I never seen him take and order for them or accept money. His website has not been updated/active for over a year. nor does he answer his email.

How about VecFlash? It appears to be a new version on the same idea...

"The VecFlash is a FLASH / Multi Cart with the following features -

- 16 x 32K banks (inc Menu Bank)
- FLASH RAM - games are stored indefinitely without power
- Pressing reset brings the menu back up - no on/off between games
- VecRAM mode - loads + stores + runs a single binary (for dev work)
- Auto menu generation - PC loader updates Vec menu code
- Fully upgradeable future-proofed firmware"

I have been told by someone close to Sean Kelly that he no longer uses the email address that he used for years because he had too much spam. I have been dealing with Sean for about 9 years now. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again in the future. I have seen numerous people knock him over the last year and I have to say that I have had nothing but great transactions with him. Because my first name is Sean as well I do get a lot of people who think that I am Sean Kelly. I have had numerous people contact me over the years asking if I would make them a multicart. The only reason why is because I share a first name with Sean Kelly. I can only imagine how many emails he must have received. I would highly recommend one of his Vectrex multicarts if you can find one. It is said that he is unable to sell his other multicarts anymore.

I've heard good things about that one and would like to pick one up myself eventually.

How many games can you fit on one of those Vec Flash things? Any idea how much they are and where they can be purchased?

Hey All,
Vectrex Multicarts are going for around US$220 on ebay lately. If the person who is after a Vectrex multicart PM's me I know where you can get one for aroundUS$85, there's only 2 left and I may want one in the future so just PM me and I'll let you know where you can get a multicart (not the current version but the second last one I think).
Regards,

Nubian.

I too live in the area..i was in there before CGE, and he said he had most of the stuff to make some more, I think he need memory or something...Wasnt going to do anything till after he got back. Certainly didnt seem like he was going to permanently stop, he seemed to have alot of other stuff going on...
