* '''[[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. Many homebrew physical cartridge releases still have not been [https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/hash/vectrex.xml dumped].
* '''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.
