Vectrex LASER PROJECTOR? and RIPOFF arcade review

[@AlanMcClelland]

Very impressive you are integrating a laser with the Vectrex, too cool! Cannot wait to see the end result. Love Rip Off and one of my very first vector arcade memories next to Asteroids when I was a kid. This is one of the very first co-op games I enjoyed playing with my brothers in the very early 80s. Always loved the phosphor decay on that one! One of Tim Skelly's best! Nice remote LED lghting strip addition and glad you got another video editor btw.

Never thought of modding a laser that way. Very creative.

[@shovelhedded]

Ripoff's explosions are pretty amazing.

[@PocketBrain]

Noice! Ripoff is best as a coctail-table, IMHO.

[@kosmikvector4862]

Amazing Channel your love for Vector Arcade games and electrical knowledge is great !!

[@ArcadeJason]

thanks man

[@stiiffyrabbit]

In the UK, that ''Rip-Off' game is called 'Space Pirates'. Great game, 'specially in 2-player.

[@EddRay]

I have limited electronics knowledge, I was with you at x and you axis after that I was a deer in headlights,but I still love the information that your giving us! Thanks

[@EddRay]

y axis sorry

[@ArcadeJason]

Edd Ray the player check out Edds channel this guy can play a mean game of missile command

[@Okurka.]

Meaner than Mr. Awesome? 😂😂😂

[@evilash570]

Wow if u get that vectrex projector to display properly it will be epic! Have you ever thought of pulling the lasers out of a christmas display that projects onto a house? They are reasonably cheap, yet can project like 100 feet or more! Imagine sitting on the back deck with a beer at night, playing vetctrex in the sky!

[@jamesv833]

This is awesome!!! Nice job.

[@ArcadeJason]

thanks James ill finish it someday

[@bitrot42]

Great project! For the Z-amp, can you put the 5V regulator before the MOSFET instead of after? The switching speed should be better that way.

[@ArcadeJason]

wondras I agree

[@allrock1238]

could you use a low persistence laser reactive phosphor on the projection screen surface that would react to laser light enabling one to use lower point scan speed ? the example on youtube of "Laser on a Phosphorus disk" comes to mind but you would have to use a shorter persistence phosphor , this would slow down the number of points needed to be drawn a second by the beam diverter hardware.

Nice Cab, got my RipOff Cab yesterday:)

[@jorgehrenstein4031]

It’s my first cinematronics cabinet:) is it possible to use other Cinematronic pcbs in it? they all seem to have the same layout.

[@ArcadeJason]

Yes my email is [e-mail]

[@jorgehrenstein4031]

thanks Jason, mail sent:)

[@memyopinionsche6610]

Spencer's Gifts a few years ago and saw a laser projector that was dong shapes like squares triangles and rectangles and projecting them onto a wall. I thought it was kinda cool. but then I had I weird idea of mmmm? what if one could incorporate vector graphics with a lazier projected and play games like asteroids Tempest star Castle on a really big wall. well you are coming up with the idea as well so good luck I hope and really think it could work.

[@ArcadeJason]

ha very cool i also saw a laser projector at spencers theone i saw had a segment that actually showed a stripped down asteroids. that is the whole reason i did this

[@tntamusements]

Neat!!!

[@Arcadehollywood]

Cool stuff Arcade Jason!!!!

[@ArcadeJason]

thanks Jeff

[@delsarcade]

So what was your solution for the editing program? Offer still stands if you need help with editing.

[@ArcadeJason]

well i am using a crappy free editor i found on line

[@ArcadeJason]

i don't mind crappy editing my self but i do need some sort of opening sequence that i can reuse every video

[@delsarcade]

You had some pretty cool stuff for end credits where you'd scroll a piece of paper. Man, that was even better than fancy graphics. I'm dead serious. Think outside of the box! But maybe you can edit a montage of previous episodes around a royalty free theme song? Something super short that you can tack onto the beginning?

[@speechmachine]

cool ceiling lights!

[@ArcadeJason]

thanks Marty it also helps a little when i take video

[@Okurka.]

Wow. This channel should have more subscribers than John's Arcade. Lately he only breaks stuff.

[@ArcadeJason]

lol Johns a good guy

[@Okurka.]

John became an operator, he now pays people to fix his stuff. Like his Journey monitor chassis and his Hantarex Polo.

[@ArcadeJason]

lol i can fix ANY go7 problem in 15min-2 hrs lol. John has a great channel i love how he loves this stuff . he is a busy man

[@jonshouse1]

You would do better to put a couple of I2C or SPI DACS onto a small ARM board and use MAME or similar to emulate the arcade game, that way you could clock out the vectors at a rate more suitable for laser scanner.

[@ArcadeJason]

that would work !!!!! I did under clock the vectrex i just wanted to see how close i can get with real hardware. ii if i had way faster (more $$$$) galvos it might work thanks for subscribing

[@jonshouse1]

You might want to watch this, I am not sure how optimized the beam travel is on the Vextrex output. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJyrm3ptap50eLs

[@GrahamToal]

either faster galvos, or ... buy one or two more sets, and distribute vectors to multiple lasers so you get some parallelism... plus software to optimise drawing order, maybe something like a travelling salesman ...
