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.

Firmware update 3.30 up and running, no themes though

Ahh, Sony giveth, Sony don't giveth. They give us the firmware update, moving us a couple of notches up the number ladder to 3.30. Then they don't provide any new themes for the major feature of the update, rendering it pretty useless, I mean, really Sony, how hard can it be to coordinate these things?

UPDATE: Late on a Friday night, the themes are finally up on the EU PSN store! The free crystal and stitch themes at any rate, at just a 5MB download each.

Additional features include adding Friends to events, checking trophy rarity and some PlayStation TV stuff, including the ability to use other-region accounts on the Japanese model for those early adopters. There's also a new version of Content Manager Assistant, also up to 3.3.0 if you need to copy data off to your PC - still slow as hell backing up!

Japan has some free and premium (330 yen) themes out and coming, with western themes coming soon! PSN has been reported as unexpectedly down today, perhaps the sheer weight of these new themes is causing problems! Hopefully we'll be able to make our own, too!
