VICE 2.1 has been released.
VICE is the Versatile Commodore Emulator, it emulates the Commodore C64,
C128, VIC20, PET, PLUS4 and the CBM-II, as well as the C64 DTV, and it
runs on Win32, Unix, DOS, RiscOS, OS/2, BeOS, QNX, SkyOS, AmigaOS and
GP2X systems.
VICE is *free* software released under the GNU General Public License,
and as such it comes with full source code.
Most important changes since the last version include:
* Changes in VICE 2.1
======================
** General
----------
- The VICEplus project has been joined with VICE. Thus, x64dtv is now
part of VICE.
- We can be contacted via IRC: #vice-dev on freenode
- Added a more accurate ReSID engine using floating point math (ReSID-FP).
- Added support for the USB HardSID.
- PAL emulation has been rewritten and optimized.
- Fixed the ACIA 6551 emulation. (x64/x128/xcbm2/xpet/xplus4)
- Monitor commands help text is now translated too
(in ports where translation is available at all)
- Monitor IO command now displays IO area even if it is currently
banked out.
- GCR file handling (.G64) issues an error message if the .G64 does not
have the expected structure. Before, VICE just silently ignored such
files.
- IRQ handling fix
** C64/C128 changes
-------------------
- Fixed the digimax sound generation.
- Added the RR clockport disable functionality at $DF00.0. Allows
to disable the RRnet.
- Improved REU compatibility and timing.
** C64 changes
--------------
- Added isepic cartridge emulation.
- Added Double Quick Brown Box cartridge emulation.
** VIC20 changes
----------------
- Improved the sound emulation.
- Fixed the lowest note bug.
- Improved VIC emulation (exact in-line color/reverse mode changes).
** C64DTV changes
-----------------
- New emulator.
** Unix changes
---------------
- XRandR fullscreen implemented
- Command line option `-fullscreen' is supposed to do something
useful.
- Vsync code imported from win32 (based on openGL extension).
see also doc/openGLsync-howto.txt.
- Vidmode (fullscreen support) is broken and therefore marked as
deprecated. It will be removed in the next release if no-one takes
responsibility to fix the broken code and is willing to maintain the
code.
- PAL Emulation (new implementation, improved speed) should be usable
again (it was broken on certain display depths).
- Log messages are always english.
- Only x11 keymaps will be installed when doing a 'make install'.
- MIDI cartridge emulation for x128, x64 and xvic.
** MS-Windows changes
---------------------
- Watcom generated executables are more optimized.
- MIDI cartridge emulation for x128, x64 and xvic.
- When specifying the target for the RS232 communication
(Menu Settings/RS232 Settings), the target can be specified by
name now. Before, you had to use the IP address.
- Fixed some minor errors with the RS232 communication via TCP
connections.
- RS232 can use real devices now, too.
To use this feature, you have to specify the COM port used in
Settings/RS232 Settings like:
\\.\com1: baud=57600 parity=N data=8 stop=1
The characters after the colon can be used to specify additional
settings for the COM port. The string must have the same form as the
mode command's command-line arguments:
[baud=b][parity=p][data=d][stop=s][to={on|off}][xon={on|off}]
[odsr={on|off}][octs={on|off}][dtr={on|off|hs}][rts={on|off|hs|tg}]
[idsr={on|off}]
The above example specifies COM1 with a baud rate of 57600, no parity,
8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
Note that the leading \\.\ is used to distinguish between TCP/IP
targets and real devices, thus, you have to use it.
(Sorry, no fancy UI yet.)
- vsid GUI reworked:
* infoline appears only by pressing "I"
* raises process priority. Otherwise, when in background,
looses cpu power and music is not played at correct speed
* drag&drop support; window also gets focus back on drop
* correct display of emulated sid model (when using -keepenv)
* changed colors
- fixed copy function from the VICE monitor window.
** AmigaOS changes
------------------
** OS/2 changes
---------------
- Fixed 24/32bit display depth problem.
** GP2X changes
---------------
- Fixed black screen problem.
- Pause emulation while the menu is open.
- Added experimental support for USB keyboard and joystick.
- Removed vsid.
** Mac OS X changes
-------------------
- x64a.app and x64dtv.app (Cocoa) are now feature complete
* added flip lists
* added netplay dialog
* added ROM resources
* added video settings dialog
* added record snapshot dialog
- Introduced new control window that replaces old peripherals drawer
* with tape control buttons
* attach/eject buttons for each drive
* drag & drop of disk/tape images
- Introduced Cocoa compile for Mac OS X 10.5 and greater with more features
(see extended Resource Inspector)
- Completely rewritten joystick driver that supports user-definable buttons
for fire and all directions.
- Copy & Paste support for emulator and monitor/log window
- Added x2, x3, x4 view scaling like in Quicktime Player
- Store visibility and size of all windows in user's preferences
- Added Keyset Joystick toggle to quickly disable keyboard joysticks
- Added MIDI support

Noto ora che non e' stato precisato che la GUI per il parametro -vsid non e' solo improved, ma proprio implementato per la prima volta in questa versione di WinVice ;)
-
Adesso compilo il tutto su linux e vediamo se -vsid torna a funzionare (da quando ho il sistema a 64 bit, ottengo sempre un segmentation fault all'attivazione, senno, visto che adesso sono su sourceforge, faccio un bel bug report ;) )
-
-vsid funziona perfettamente!
Ottimi i settaggi delle differenti versione di chip possibili (chiaro, scuro, ecc)
da segnalare che la compilazione del C64dtv è ora molto più agevole rispetto a quella del vice-plus, dato che non serve collegarsi online per scaricare le rom del kernel.
-
http://viceteam.org/ (http://viceteam.org/) è ancora gestito da Andreas Boose, che non è più nel team di VICE, e quindi non è ancora aggiornato. Si può quasi dire che il sito ufficiale del VICE Team sia in realtà http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/ (http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/) , che è gestito dal team, e riporta correttamente la 2.1 come ultima versione.

Si e in questo momento Vice e' l'unico player pubblicamente disponibile in grado di suonare sid come Fanta In Space (http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=72563) e ora puo' anche emulare il demo Vicious Sid (http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=72678) che usa la stessa, rivoluzionaria, digi-routine.
Sidplay2 (commandline) e' stato aggiornato ma e' disponibile solo per chi si puo' ricompilare i sorgenti.
Per attivare il vsid player di vice e' necessario approntare un file batch, per non dover ogni volta riscrivere la trafila di parametri. Chiamatelo vsid.bat
set x=c:\c64\vice\x64.exe
set p=-sidengine 7 -sidfilters -sidmodel 12 -keepenv %2 -vsid
%x% %p% %1
Ovviamente ognuno dovra' cambiarsi il path di x64 mettendo il proprio.
I valori possibili per sidmodel sono
-sidengine 1 (reSID)
SID_MODEL_6581 0
SID_MODEL_8580 1
SID_MODEL_8580D 2
SID_MODEL_6581R4 3
SID_MODEL_DTVSID 4
-sidengine 7 (reSID-fp)
SID_MODEL_6581R3_4885 8
SID_MODEL_6581R3_0486S 9
SID_MODEL_6581R3_3984 10
SID_MODEL_6581R4AR_3789 11
SID_MODEL_6581R3_4485 12
SID_MODEL_6581R4_1986S 13
SID_MODEL_8580R5_3691 16
SID_MODEL_8580R5_3691D 17
SID_MODEL_8580R5_1489 18
SID_MODEL_8580R5_1489D 19
la "D" indica un Digiboosted 8580
per suonare un sid che richiede 6581r4 bisogna cambiare il modello
vsid \HVSC\MUSICIANS\J\Jeff\Space_Journey.sid -sidmodel 13
la finestra supporta il drag/drop, quindi basta che vi creiate un link sul desktop al file vsid.bat per attivarlo la prima volta trascinandovi un .sid, e dopo potrete trascinare i seguenti direttamente nella finestra di vice/vsid.
