===Comparisons===
* '''[[MAME]]:''' [https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/drivers/vectrex.cpp MAME driver]. The hardware is perfectly emulated. A [http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/lista_mame.php?game_sourcefile=vectrex.cpp&arcade_only=0¤t_version=0 1984 clone] is not emulated yet.
* '''ParaJVE:''' An emulator written in JavaScript. Its development started in early 2006, with the first update version 0.3.2 releasing in November 8, 2006, and the emulation is now mature enough to deliver a rendering close to the real machine, for you to enjoy most of the original games set (as well as some extra homebrew roms). But it was short-lived, ending just 4 years later in December 29, 2010.
* '''JSVecX:''' A JavaScript port of the VecX emulator. The emulator was ported from the original C version as developed by Valavan Manohararajah to JavaScript/HTML5. This port relies on the HTML5 Canvas element for display and the Web Audio API for sound (no flash is required). Some known issues: buggy sound, and misaligned overlays.
* '''[[vecx]]:''' Original branch last updated in August 2016. The libretro core is still being updated as of 2020.
* '''Vectrexy:''' A Vectrex emulator programmed in C++. Many [https://github.com/amaiorano/vectrexy/blob/master/docs/vectrexy-compatilibity-list.md commercial games and homebrew ROMs work well, many others and software either don't work or are uncertain].
* '''DVE:''' Dos Vectrex Emulator is an ancient emulator that used to work on DOS PC's and was last updated in August 7, 1999! It did a decent job of emulation, with only 2 games with faults; but it is not recommended today. It may produce [https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Software:Dos_Vectrex_Emulator_(DVE) buzzing sounds] under [[DOSBox|DOSBox]]. It runs all the games available for it, has adlib sound and 3D imager support.
