Getting Started

Unzip dve_2b_1.zip. A "vectrex" folder will appear with other folders inside. Then unzip dve_2b_2.zip into the "vectrex" folder that was created. That's it. All the default games, overlays, text files, etc. will all be in place, ready to use. Run "Vectrex.exe" and see if the correct video mode comes up. If not, you may have to choose a different video mode in the "Vectrex.ini" file. Also, sound and joystick may be disabled by default. See Tweaks for more info.

Your "bin" folder may be missing some of the newer games, so visit New Games and unzip newgames.zip into the "bin" folder. You'll have to manually add these games to your GUI or vectrex.ini file. See Tweaks.

Note: In your "vectrex" folder you should have the following: 
"bin" folder
"dev" folder
"help.dat" folder
"pic" folder
"save" folder
"text" folder
"tool.dat" folder
"vol" folder
as well as "vectrex.exe", "vectrex.ini", and "tool.ini".

Also, right-click on vectrex.exe and put a check next to "program: close on exit" and "screen: full screen".
