vecx for Playdate

A C-only Playdate port of the vecx Vectrex emulator.

Requirements

Playdate SDK
arm-none-eabi-gcc
pdc

Build

make

The build creates vecx.pdx with both simulator and device binaries.

Install to a USB-mounted Playdate:

make _push

Cartridges

The Vectrex BIOS is packaged as Source/rom.dat. If you want to test a local cartridge, add it as Source/cart.vec before building. The loader also falls back to Source/mine_storm.vec when present. .vec files are intentionally ignored by Git.

Notes

See NOTES.md for the active porting plan, findings, benchmark format, and known limitations.
