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.

Ok, emulation of VSP bug seems a bit unforgiving - Lunatico will crash using any available VSP channel :(

er perhaps just delete the osx port and be done with it....


Yeah, that's probably the best solution ;-)

Which bin did you download?


The only one available through the vice-emu website?
http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/macosx.html There's a download link to a disk image with binaries for all vice emulators.


The page has been updated with new bins (as supplied by IanC).

The link says: "The "/releases/binaries/m..4-10.8-clang-3.0.dmg" file could not be found or is not available. Please select another file."

The webpage should probably link to this file: vice-macosx-cocoa-x86_64-10.12-3.0.dmg in lieu of the old one (vice-macosx-cocoa-i386+x86_64-10.8-clang-3.0.dmg)

Thanx!

OS X version seems to work out of the box here, but x64 crashes when I go into SID settings.

Quote: You might want to remove the mac version of 3.0 and put 2.4 back on the website until 3.0 actually works. It crashes immediately after launch on my mac, complaining about:

Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/portaudio/lib/libportaudio.2.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/Vice3/x64.app/Contents/MacOS/x64
Reason: image not found

So, there's no need to excite mac users with a new build just yet ;-)


yes, I guess I built that first binary. I requires portaudio

$ brew install libportaudio

should do the trick.

I have complaint that sid/vic noise is a bit of overdone or emulating very low quality output ;) It doesn't sound exactly like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lY5-wg_LHE

Any plans to make it tweakable? High pitched tone matches the origano on the other hand ;)
