VICE 3.0 has been released
VICE 3.0 has been released.
VICE is a program that runs on a Unix, DOS, Win32, OS/2, BeOS, Amiga
or Mac OS X machine and executes programs intended for the old 8-bit
computers. The current version emulates the C64, the C64DTV, the C128,
the VIC20, practically all PET models, the PLUS4 and the
CBM-II (aka C610/C510). An extra emulator is provided for C64 expanded
with the CMD SuperCPU.
VICE is *free* software released under the GNU General Public License,
and as such it comes with full source code.
The most important changes from the last version can be found at the end
of this posting.
For more information and download instructions check out the VICE home
page at:
http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/
This release marks the start of a new release schedule. We will be
releasing a new source version every 3 months. The binaries that will
be built for a new version will depend on the downloads of the
previous version and available maintainer for the port. This means that
ports without maintainers and/or not enough downloads will no longer be
made. This means that this might be the last release for mac os x and
windows, since we do not have any official maintainers (or people
helping out) for those ports.
=======================================================================
Note that some of the binaries are not available yet, we are still
working on them, they will be added to the download page(s) as soon as
they become available.
=======================================================================
The VICE team.

Hi,
I compiled 3.0 on OS X 10.11.
Problems:
- VIC II settings window is empty
- when started on second monitor (Desktop on Display 2), Vice dissapears when switched to full screen
- if second display is connected via HDMI and set to PAL 50HZ, framerate is unstable and varies from 80% to 100%
- control window is always in front of all other windows even when Vice is in background

We have no osx maintainer, so none of these issues are going to get fixed, feel free to submit patches though if you can fix those issues. |

I just noticed TAP images doesn't load with Vice 3.0 (on Windows). Virtual device traps option is enabled.
I tried it with the tap image that hedning has shared below.

Older Vice versions load it correctly. Vice 3.0 doesn't start loading and keeps waiting at "Press play on tape" message. |

tap loading works of for me, try deleting/renaming your vice.ini |

@iAN CooG: You're right, some option seems to cause that. TAP loading works with default settings but doesn't work with my current vice config. I'm kinda busy now, i'll figure out which option causes it later. |

my bet is on device traps, as usual :) |

@Groepaz: I've tried both device traps on and off. Unfortunately, i (accidently) deleted my old config file and now i can't reproduce the same bug. I'll open a ticket if i can reproduce it and it really is a bug. |

Maybe support for t64 should be removed, that'll remove the confusion when it comes to t64 vs tap. |

Did winvice 3.0 break "I love the cube 100%" by Samar? I tried to fiddle with all kinds of settings but disk side 2 just won't load... |

When I run my sierpinsky intro (sieRpiński fRActal) on x64sc of Vice 3.0 only a few dots appear:
http://imgur.com/a/PV8Nf
I tried a few VICE builds including the latest. On x64 it runs fine. It also runs as it is supposed to be on x64sc of Vice 2.4 (and on Hox, micro64 and ccs64).
Is there something wrong with the emulation of SID random number generation in x64sc of Vice 3.0?
Or should I change some emulator settings? |
