problem with vice 2.4.18
I downloaded the latest vice build from pokefinder (WinVICE-2.4.18-x86-r29549). I want it to always use the "true drive emulation", but it NEVER uses it.
When I try to load something, it works, but without using the true drive emu.
When I try to load sth using the AR6 fastloader, it simply does nothing.
Is there something broken or am I doing sth wrong? |

turn true drive emu on? you need to be more exact on what settings you have and what happens.
you're doing something wrong, since this works since like ages. |

Turn off "handle true drive emulation". Set the autostart method to d64 or inject to ram, not virtual fs. |

btw hiding deep the pal filter on/off, doesnt click with me. not good for debugging when you really want to see where some pixels are. |

TDE is even default for a while now, so to not use it you must explicitly turn it off. *shrug* |

He maybe depacks stuff into his old vice directory. Delete your old configs! |

The way VICE handles preferences this will always be a problem. Since every option is saved to the vicerc, regardless of if the user has changed the option or not, means that for a majority of users old stupid defaults (like handle TDE) override new better defaults.
I have like 10 settings I change, yet my vicerc is 406 lines. |

the way users use it is the problem. start with an actually fresh install instead and the problem goes away. |

Don't blame users for bad application design, nothing tells them to delete the config when upgrading. Doing so is completely counterintuitive and also deletes the settings they do want to save. |

infact, making a mechanism that warns about it is on my todo list :)
however, this is about a snapshot build - and you should never "upgrade" your existing installation with it. this has huge potential for creating all sorts of problems, just dont. |

I deleted the vice.ini, setup everything from scratch (to the same settings I use since years) and now it works.
That is strange... I don't know what's different now ;-)
btw: I never overwrite existing vice installations/folders. I still need the old versions to load my old snapshot-files...
A converter tool would be cool... That would also support other tools, like the infiltrator disassembler, which only accepts a small range of snapshot-versions. |
