    Like balls it does. It's been sitting on the splash screen with a little spinning loading clock for 25 minutes now.

    Just stop the app and try resetting your device. My friends got an iPad 1 and also says it works very well now

    Why didn't you upgrade to 5.1 previously?

    Anyway when I had my iPod touch 4th gen I upgraded to iOS 6 and all seemed well. All my apps worked (something which didn't happen when I went up to 5.1)

    Have you tried using something to clear our memory first? (Like MemoryInfo)

    No, I just held down the power button, swipped the power off, waited 10 seconds than powered up, logged back in, and started up Vectrex App with bluetooth for iCade.

    I was playing this using the icade and it was stupendous! The only way to play this app IMO. I almost teared up - Minestorm and Scramble were especially good. I recall my Vectrex crashing on Minestorm back in the day. How close are the ROMs here to the original sometimes buggy Vectrex roms?

    Any word on when more indie games are coming? Any chance that John Dondzilla's games will be coming?

    What he said. Just a reminder that some of us are still interested and willing to buy some of those indie Vectrex titles.

    Awesome Emulator.

    MegaPack Purchased!

    I can finally play with iCade.

    I have a vectrex and I think these people have done a fantastic conversion. The wrapper is awesome too.

    They should learn Midway, Activision, Namco ... Their conversions are ugly and bad.

    5 stars! :D

    Yep, I would also like to see some more games for it!

    Also one Feature wish: If you use the iCade, the on Screen Buttons should be turned off ...

    Agree with the above. It's a great app but its a shame there's been no updates with more indie games etc

    I emailed the dev but no reply

    They were nominated for a BAFTA, and it was announced on their facebook page, so someone's at least posting to that.

    https://www.bafta.org/wales/news/nominations-announced-for-the-british-academy-cymru-award-for-games,3817,BA.html

    Yeah, it's great that they're up for awards and still getting some press, but I'm increasingly disappointed by the lack of communication from the devs concerning the app and future updates.

    Yep i've practically given up hope of any updates.

    I've emailed the dev, nothing. Their twitter account is quiet as anything. I might try one final time. I just messaged them..

    http://rantmediagames.com/contact/

    Might be worth if a few more people ask them as well

    Well got a super quick reply this time...

    "Thanks for the email!

    We're constantly on the lookout for homebrew games to include into the app - if you've got good links with any developers, or have any suggestions please do let us know.

    There is stuff happening on the app currently - and there will be an update before long, but no timescales or info on what is going to be in it yet ;-)

    Best wishes!
