WinVice & Windows 10 error
OK. I've dealt with this for a week or two and it's time to see if a solution is available.
WinVice 2.4 (win64 x64 mingw)
Anytime I double click a .d64, I get this error:
VICE Error!
Cannot startup logging system.
I hit enter (or click OK) and that is that. I haven't had any issues with Vice, just this silly error.
Any way to fix this? I can deal with hitting enter, but would rather Vice just boot up without my having to do so. |

After you tried a nightly build? Grab the latest here -> http://vice.pokefinder.org/
Your problem might be fixed already considering VICE 2.4 is four years old now - released in late 2012. (pre-Windows 10) |

I haven't checked for the latest stable version, thought 2.4 was the last. Laziness I guess. Doesn't happen with 2.4.11, so for sure it's the version I use. I could deal with it, but meh, I'll go find the latest build.
Thanks Jon :) |

Just downloaded WinVice 3 to check if this bug is gone, but nah, it still exists. After a bit of googling, the amount of helpful informations I could gather considering this slight annoyance is close to zero.
Oh and by the way, can't save settings neither.
+ a special bonus bug: if I'm dragging a .prg to Vice's window, it says it can't autostart specified file.
Windows 7 here, btw.

Try putting it somewhere other than Program Files, the folder has special permissions to stop virues/malware etc. |

Quoting Groepazi love how this bug was not reported, ever
Well I would gladly report them, only if the project wasn't using that malware-ridden SourceForge ordeal.
Anyhow...

Facepalming myself for not thinking of this yet... Probably as I avoid placing executables outside Program Files, but yes, this actually helped. Thanks! |

Facepalm indeed. You still living in the early 2000s?

I know people who unwillingly installed shit on their computers thanks to SF and their petty adware injections into hosted projects. This isn't just a hearsay, they openly admitted being malicious.
Granted, it's mostly the users' fault for not being cautious enough and clicking the next button blindly, but apart of those fishy ads all over the place that looked like download buttons, the site was somewhat reputable till then, so there was no reason to be overly suspicious.
All that crap started about 2013. For a while they were even straight up hosting a malware version of FileZilla, one of the most popular FTP clients out there.
I am aware that they replaced the management and now trying to act much more transparent, but as for me, it will take a long time till they regain my trust. I avoid the site lite plague and try to find alternative download options in case a default Google search directs me there. |
