Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex.

PS Vita Accessories and Advice

If you're having trouble with, or want to enhance your PS Vita, I'm slowly putting together some tips and troubleshooting guides.

CHARGER LEAD/BRICK/POWER ISSUES

Covered in this piece

VIDEO HELP

Lots of people ask how to get videos from YouTube or other online sources for offline viewing. All you need is the URL of the video, then go to savefrom.net on your Vita and enter the URL there. The site will download the file to the right app and it can manage Soundcloud, Vimeo, Yandex, Dailymotion and quite a few others.

To play a YouTube video that's longer than an hour, you need to options, by tapping the three vertical dots next to the search spyglass. Scroll down the pop-up menu and tap Desktop. Now audio mixes, longer videos and those random old movies that folk put up on YouTube will play.

What the YouTube site on Vita doesn't play, and likely never will is live event streams. For now, all you can do is see if there's a stream on Twitch and use that app.

CRASHES AND ERRORS

The most common tip is for a locked, crashed Vita or one with a constantly flashing blue PS light. Simply hold down the power button for a few seconds (sometimes with the right trigger pressed) - until you see the restart menu. Choose the first "Restart the PS Vita System" option and that should do the trick.
