VICE (The Versatile Commodore Emulator: C64, C128, VIC20, PET, PLUS4 and CBM-II) was finally ported to AOS 3.x/MorphOS/AROS recently. However the initial MorphOS version was quite buggy, so I decided to fix the most serious bugs.

Hi Piru,

Thanks, nice job. It works great and the PAL mode looks very nice fullscreen. Is it possible to turn off the statusbar in fullscreen mode?
One thing, there's a problem with the joystick input, the left/right axis is reverse.

Quote:
AFAIK it's not.

Quote:
This was fixed yesterday already.

Quote:

Ah, you're going too fast I didn't realise you've already updated Vice, it works now, thanks.

Yay
Thanks Piru..

Is VICE better than FRODO??

Quote:

Wayyyyy better.

Quote:

Umm... Then I must give it a try.

I hope it gets Overlay Support, because that's one thing I like very much in Frodo.

@magnetic

VICE is better (but I think that slower). VICE can show all special screenmodes found in some c64 demos that Frodo refuses to show

Well done, could you remove the need for a running TCP/IP
stack in the next release? It annoys me to have to launch
Miami every time i want to watch a demo or try a game on Vice.

Fixed. bsdsocket.library is opened on demand now.

Also, the network code now works somewhat (but only to another big endian 32bit system for now, there are still some endianity issues). It is experimental, so expect some problems with it.

Which Joystick do you people use?
USB Version of Competition Pro?
Is it supported?

According to Piru it supports lowlevel.device and Poseidon should work with it..

I have been playing with CPro for a couple days.. I got re-addicted to "Rockstar ate my hamster" ... the joystick works perfectly.

Oh yeah, that Game is crazy, i loved it to.
I will get a CPro then.

Thanks m8 :)

Hi,

Forbidden Forrest, i can play the game since a while, great !
Blue Max, Hunchback and others. However, not all games goes
properly, Olympic Ski, Le Mans, the joystick do not work. Attack Of The
Mutant Camels, black screen. I choose load and run. Nice to see
the contents of a D64 disk or T64 tape in the fileload requester !

Thanks! (very quick!), as a footnote for the next release, recognition.db from Ambient nightly builds opens the ".exe" files
with a fileviewer instead of executing them (i know it's Ambient
to blame), so if next time you remove the ".exe" file extension... :)

New VICE build is out. Implemented overlay support now, and fixed more bugs.

changes to previous version:

- video.c/statusbar.c: Don't crash if some resources are not available.
Use regular window instead of gimmezerozero one. MorphOS: For Pegasos
fullscreen try depths in order 32, 24, 16 and 15, for Amiga: 16 and 15.
Added title for the screen. Use IDCMP_SIZEVERIFY so we don't render over
window borders. Fixed not to RectFill() over window border/outside of
the screen. Remember old window position instead of always reopening at
100, 100.
- MorphOS: Added overlay support. There are some limitations in the
support for now, "Double size" only works properly for windows that
double both width and height. You can achieve the same by disabling
"Double size" and manually resizing the window to double height. It
should be easy to enable overlay for OS 3.x build aswell.
- mousedrv.c: Fixed to properly process all input events in the list.
Fixed to properly remove input events. Added Forbid() protection to
avoid race conditions.
- MorphOS: Fixed "1351 mouse emulation" inputhandler crash.
- Now removes the "1351 mouse emulation" inputhandler when VICE quits.
- C128 emulation: Fixed generic problem in VICE; multiple windows would
corrupt each other's palette.
- Fixed RGB to YCbCr conversion routine.
- Fixed the custom file requester not to list RAM: among the initial
directory contents.
- Improved to open the possible system requesters to the same screen as
VICE.
- Fixed archdep_expand_path.
- MorphOS: Removed statusbar from fullscreen mode.

Hi all,

When joystick do nothing, i set in pulldown-menu only one
joystick in "Settings/Joystick settings.../Joystick device selection"
then "Joy 1 Device -> Joy Port 1" leaving the other empty.
If the problem stays, do in pulldown-menu "Options/Swap Joystick"
Olympic Ski, i can play it as of Pole Position too!

@Piru

Big thanks for the update, overlay is appreciated

Hi all,

3rd VICE release, i can play SuperCycle and Choplifter ! Thanks Piru.

This new release hosted on Amidog site, is done by Piru?
Or by Amidog with the changes provided by Piru?
Or entirely Amidog's work? Docs aren't helpful on
this subject (and no changelog, sigh!)

Hi,

http://www.amidog.com is this VICE from. Piru website, there're appears
a VICE archives too. However, the archive name are the same. Saving the settings
causes the next time starting up VICE with "x64.exe" window:
network.c:192: failed assertion `server_port == tmp'
Program aborted
I inquired "vice.ini" file, which is the settings file inside the VICE drawer.
Delete the file and VICE runs properly !
Not all menu functions are implemented in VICE, i think that's the reason the
settings-file aborts VICE.

For sure, i'am happy with VICE.

It's a known bug on Windows version too, just hope it
gets corrected in the original sources any soon.
