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.

>Rubi: Cannot reproduce. Works perfectly in 1.22. Is this bad as it should fail just like on a C64C?


dont bother with this - its unstable. i have seen it work in Hoxs64 and have been able to make it crash in vice by loading it manually.

d64 can't be chosen to autostart. using * to show all files works but its not very convenient.

Ah, that's a positive move, I appreciate that!
By the way, I wondered if you could set PNG as the default driver for the Alt+C dialog. I figure that's being used in the majority of cases and it sucks a bit having to select it every time I start Vice.

Well, in fact 1.22.8 doesn't show the bug but 1.22.8+andreasm-1.22.8-spritex.diff (which I uploaded) does which I wrote to fix a bug in an unreleased demo of Glance.

I have to review this patch...

More bugs welcome in this thread.

Ah, OK, I thought it was implied that the patch should be applied. I'll do some more testing and continue posting here if I find more bugs.

I dont get why the emulated C64 resets each time the borders mode is changed. the emulation should remain consistent regardless of the number of pixels displayed. in Hoxs64 you can switch at anytime and it doesn`t reset.

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 :)]
