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.

I don't know it it's worth to setup a download folder for this. Maybe I will send the beta via mail. First I want to see how many (and WHO) want to test VICE.

No MacOS X binary? I have lots of issues after upgrading to Leopard, probably due to the new X server :/

Unfortunately I can't help test this time, as I'm moving on wednesday and I won't have an internet connection for at least a week. I'll gladly test the next release though.

Our mastermind Andreas Boose isn't a friend of public repositories but he agrees on releasing a test version for selected users with appropriate knowledge so lets take this as an opportunity for testing.

I'm back online, and would love to give the new mac release a spin, as the current version is unusable - I'm using an old build of AquaVICE under Rosetta at the moment...

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.

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 :)]

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?

`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 ;_)

i am sponsoring the money to tattoe that on andreas' forehead if that helps =)

rubi: about AR3, please ask andreas for the cartridge dump he used as a reference. we are currently researching this, and it looks like there were different versions of AR3 around. i'd like to see his dump for comparison.

edit: ok, confirmed. we located someone with a different ar3, and his dump works. kinda strange, we'll investigate further...

ah thanks for the info, and you're right, its probably the only thing I dislike in debian (slow in updating to newer versions of key components)

obviously, it compiled and ran fine without gnomeui btw.

In order for my upcoming SkyOS port to work there will have to be a wrapper function. I will include this in my SkyOS port patch that will be sent in soon.

Ok, i tested Vice 1.22.8, and indeed $01 behaves much more natural now.
Because i have no Windows, and hoxs run very slowly in wine (1.7GHz, 256MB Ram), i cant thouroughly test it, but i do have some tests where hoxs fails.
So, expect new emu-protection from me soon.

I have 2 fix proposals to submit to your attention:
---------------------------------
1)
Vice Autostart/TDE/VDT fix
hxxp://iancoog.altervista.org/vice/iANCooG-1.22.8-autostart_tde.tar.gz

Resetting during a d64 autostart, before LOAD"*",8,1 appears, always leads to
TDE set to 0 even if set to 1 in vice.ini. Same behaviour happens if the
currently/default attached cart is detached, causing a reset.

autostart_reset() -> disk_eof_callback() -> orig_drive_true_emulation_state

The variable has not been set YET. It's set only in advance_hasdisk()
after check("READY") stuff has said YES or NO, never in case NOT_YET.
But even NOT_YET case happens too late, the variable must be set earlier.
Being 0 by default, TDE will become 0 aswell.
Fix made in autostart_advance() setting orig_drive_true_emulation_state before
calling advance_hasdisk(), and commented out where it's not needed anymore.

Other fixes:
- Virtual Dev Traps set to ON always in autostart_tape() for t64s
- Added ":" after "LOAD" and "RUN", because you have enough time to
fill the screen with garbage before loading starts.
---------------------------------
2)
Additional parameter -cartnone, kludge
hxxp://iancoog.altervista.org/vice/iANCooG-1.22.8-cartnone_kludge.tar.gz

I use TFR 0.8 cart attached by default, others use AR, FC3 or Warpspeed as
default. Happens that some prgs refuse to work with a certain cart.
My vice.ini looks like this:

CartridgeFile="C:\vice\crts\tfr08.rom"
CartridgeType=-5
CartridgeMode=0
CartridgeReset=1

Sometimes I need to start a prg/d64 detaching the cart, but it's possible
only from the menu. So far I tried using -cartexpert, but in some case the
launched prg refused to work with an expert attached (problems with the
bankswitching and stuff) so this switch was more an annoyance than a gain.
A proper -cartnone (or +cart, whatever the personal preferences are) is needed
to temporarily disable a default cart during autostart.

This is a VERY DIRTY kludge, as it works only if vice.ini contains a default
cart, has no descriptive commandline help, and so on, so use at your own risk.

Let me know if they are of any usefulness for you. I already implemented in my sources as they meet my needs.

It would be kind of nice to have the ability to save and load different "settings" along with a command line option for specifying the settings file. Also a menu of your favorite settings in Vice would be nice for quick switching between your settings profiles.

just so you guys know (and so you dont have to waste time on eventually doing it) ... i have AR4 emulation working (post AR3, pre AR4.2 hardware), and i am currently playing with implementing StarDOS. will post a patch later (i want to implement stardos first, and eventually clean up the code too =P), i guess its not that terribly useful anyway, besides historic interest ofcourse :)

attach disk image - drv 8

autostart disk image
autostart prg
turn true drive emulation on (not needed if fixed:)
joystick setup

I use these functions the most.the best would be a customizable bar tho. each menu item = one button as in office used to be.

@burglar: I can do mods only for win32 as I have no way to test on linux. DIY or prey for someone to make it for you :P

Quote: in arch\win32\ui.c I've already added
ALT+F5=REW
ALT+F6=FFWD
ALT+F7=STOP
ALT+F8=PLAY
ALT+F9=REC
but I can't do anything for other platforms. DIY ;)

edit: added also 2 keys for TDE/VTD toggle on ALT-2 & ALT-3
here's my patch for win32
hxxp://iancoog.altervista.org/vice/iANCooG-1.22.8-newhotkeys_win32.tar.gz


I'm working on a patch for universal shortcut modification in Win32, means the user can set the desired shortcuts via config file.

Quote: 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 ;_)

Second that. It's really annoying that it turns off sometimes when running a program.

We are close to a new official release of VICE and I dared to change some emulation related code last night so I decided to offer another beta release for testing:

Windows binary:
http://www.toenderup.de/vice/WinVICE-1.22.25.zip

You need a logon:
vicebeta
testitwell

Please test (especially for new bugs that were not visible in 1.22) and help to avoid another buggy major release (and me being killed by the other VICE developers).

Oh good :) Does this mean that NMI will not be broken anymore in future releases ;)

Tried quickly the hotkey configurations. Needs to be documented *well* as most don't have winuser.h (yes, there exist someone still not having a C compiler and relative files on his machine!1)
Anyway, not everything I need can be set:

SHIFT+KEY combos? Single Keys? for example F9-F10 alone, I'd like to map tape control keys there. something like this
            0x78        IDM_DATASETTE_CONTROL_REWIND        F9    # VK_F9
            0x79        IDM_DATASETTE_CONTROL_FORWARD       F10   # VK_F10
ALT         0x7A        IDM_DATASETTE_RESET_COUNTER         F11   # ALT|VK_F11
            0x7A        IDM_DATASETTE_CONTROL_STOP          F11   # VK_F11
            0x7B        IDM_DATASETTE_CONTROL_START         F12   # VK_F12
ALT         0x7B        IDM_DATASETTE_CONTROL_RECORD        F12   # ALT|VK_F12

don't work here.
even using alt-combos:
ALT         0x78        IDM_DATASETTE_CONTROL_REWIND        F9    # VK_F9
ALT         0x79        IDM_DATASETTE_CONTROL_FORWARD       F10   # VK_F10
ALT|CTRL    0x7A        IDM_DATASETTE_RESET_COUNTER         F11   # ALT|VK_F11
ALT         0x7A        IDM_DATASETTE_CONTROL_STOP          F11   # VK_F11
ALT         0x7B        IDM_DATASETTE_CONTROL_START         F12   # VK_F12
ALT|CTRL    0x7B        IDM_DATASETTE_CONTROL_RECORD        F12   # ALT|VK_F12

another thing I like to do, which need additional handling in win32/ui.c, is switching on the fly between sid models
# dont work, IDC* not usable ;)
#ALT         0x70        IDC_SID_6581                F1      # VK_F1
#ALT         0x71        IDC_SID_8580                F2      # VK_F2

In my patched ui.c I have already done like this to handle them. Of course it's a dirty hack, but it's just what I needed.
      case IDC_SID_6581 | 0x00010000:
        resources_set_int("SidModel", 0);
        break;
      case IDC_SID_8580 | 0x00010000:
        resources_set_int("SidModel", 1);
        break;


so far only these are working
ALT         '7'         IDM_AUTOSTART
ALT         '2'         IDM_TOGGLE_DRIVE_TRUE_EMULATION
ALT         '3'         IDM_TOGGLE_VIRTUAL_DEVICES
ALT         'P'         IDM_TOGGLE_FASTPAL

better than nothing, but not enough. Once used to hotkeys is hard to get back. =)

1)
menu Edit should be activated by D and not E, which is already Settings

POPUP "&Edit"
in *.rc should be
POPUP "E&dit"

==============================================================================
2)
default keys for copy/paste clash with valid C64 keycombos, being CTRL
mapped as C= we can't use C=+C C=+V C=+Lira
In win_shortcuts.vsc better use some ALT combos

# Alt+Ins / Alt-Del are good enough for me
ALT         0x2E        IDM_EDIT_COPY                       # VK_DELETE
ALT         0x2D        IDM_EDIT_PASTE                      # VK_INSERT

==============================================================================

in win_shortcuts.vsc should be made clear that single keys are configurable
just by using anything (for example KEY) in first column, example

# First column: Combination of ALT|CTRL|SHIFT (or KEY for unshifted keys)
#   to hold for the shortcut
[...]
