Other prominent features include:
- Built-in game library, with 20 official Vectrex releases, 3 prototypes, 7 mods, and 51 demos sourced from the Vectrex homebrew community.
- Bundled overlays for all official games, prototypes, and mods.
- Settings menu QOL improvements:
- Settings are available to adjust on the title screen prior to selecting a game
- Screen size adjustment is available to account for overscan on older displays
- Opacity slider for the glow effect is now available
Bug fixes since v0.3:
- Memory-leak crash — no longer crashes after loading a number of ROMs (the old "more ROMs = fewer loads before crashing" bug)
- Emulation timing — no longer runs too fast / bursty, including the "full speed for a few seconds after unpausing" glitch
- Dolphin emulation speed — at full speed now instead of at slideshow pace (this might have only been a bug after I implemented sound; nevertheless, it's fixed now)
- Bedlam crashes after a game over
- There is a currently ambiguous (to me at least) bug in Polar Rescue
- Button mapping, Nunchuk, and classic controller support
- Light Pen support
- Two player support
