VICE beta testers - anyone?

Hi.

Everybody who wants to test current developer release (with several bugs fixed that were reported in the C64 Emulator bugs thread) should send me a private message here in CSDB or a mail to a.matthiesNOSPAM@online.de

Beta testers should be practiced in using VICE and its options and know about Gropaez buglist and its "rules of thumb" to avoid reporting already known or "wrong settings" bugs. The main goal should be regression testing.

I will send a (link to a) Windows binary and source archive with some information about fixed and known bugs.

- Andreas

ok, just tried compiling 1.22.8 on my debian (etch) machine:

./configure --prefix=/opt/vice1.22.8 --enable-gnomeui --enable-fullscreen

make
..snip..

Quote: just a quick one:

1) the PAL emulation is broken, blurredness and scanline shade have no effect (the latter does something when at 0%), and pal emu generally seems to be not active
2) Action Replay III emu is fuxored. cartridge crashes at reset and doesnt start. if you go to monitor and then do "g fce2" manually the emulated c64 resets normaly. you can then "freeze". however the cartridge toolkit still doesnt work, and reset wont work as expected either. something is broken here :) [this is also broken in 1.22, but i guess it worked at some point :)]


ad 1.) PAL works in Windows binary as it should. There is some work in progress regarding fullscreen and seperation of GTK from X11 code and there was a patch rejected when releasing 1.22.8 so Unix port might not work as expected. I'm compiling Win port but I will forward your bugs to the guys working on it.

ad 2.) I will have a look although I'm no cartridge expert. But when it worked in an earlier release I might find the reason.

Meanwhile I have fixed the sprite bug reported yesterday and will upload fixed binary and patch this evening...

actually i've never seen it working...but mostly, because i have also never seen a AR3 dump on the net before :)

that said, i checked the source a bit, and i am missing the bit in the control register which controls the GAME line.

however, andreas boose should know more, he made that piece of code =P

Now that you mention it: I haven't an AR3 image (only >=5) so I cannot reproduce. Any link to it?

Windows binary is built for NT based windows, please rebuild with win9x compatible switches =)

`gtk_widget_set_tooltip_text' is new in gtk v2.12. Etch contains the now prehistoric gtk v2.8. Of course, the config script could/should check if you have gtk >2.12 and fail to build (or possibly wrapper function to wrap the new function name to the old one if old gtk is detected... blah)

I put away my lazyness and rebuilt it myself, took only 13minutes :)
Type of/Style works
Fallout/UCF works! (/me shouts out of the window "IT'S WORKING AT LAST!!1")
TRC+TBI intro works.

Dylan Dog/X-factor hangs always if autoloaded from commandline/drag&drop. Works sometimes if manually loaded, anyway it's a problem in the intro init, not a vice issue, depends on when the irq is triggered, and as I suggested in the buglist, a simple lda #$7f sta $dc0d fixes it.

Thanks for the shitload of fixes, also the new cpujam option is handy. 3 thumbs up!

just a suggestion ( even though it has been purposed many many times... )

an option to have true drive emulation ON by default AT ALL TIMES. because it's starting to slightly piss me off, and I'm not the only one ;_)
