A small bug: when the emulator runs into JAM and you hit "continue", it does not really halt the machine - IRQs still run (e.g. music keeps playing in demos that crash). |

Awesome release. You keep me working on C64 stuff as I can't assemble my C64 in the new place due to space issues but with VICE I can still make the ball rollin' on. Your work is much appreciated! |

Also taking over an .org domain without the owner acknowledging is a tough job. Unfortunately Mr. Boose doesn't seem to care.
People could blow his traffic bill sky high to show him the domain is still there and wants maintenance :)

It's clearly an error in the Google algorithms that it keeps listing the old page with the "new" version 2.2 from 2009 as the #1 result. But maybe it could be fixed by some "SEO", aka linking as much as possible to the new version. |
