Help test x64sc, the next generation x64.

We've spent a month and a half rewriting x64 into x64sc and would like to have some feedback.

Please test this with as many things as you can and report any emulation bugs you find in here or alternatively on #vice-dev @ freenode.net.

Let's bring VICE from the 90's into the modern age!

Good:
- emulator rewritten, more accurate
- models:
   Breadbox (default) x64sc -VICIImodel 0 -ciamodel 0 -gluelogictype 0
   C64C               x64sc -VICIImodel 1 -ciamodel 1 -gluelogictype 1
   C128-ish           x64sc -VICIImodel 1 -ciamodel 1 -gluelogictype 0
Bad:
- slow (will be faster)
- possible regressions, please test
- no NTSC (yet)
- no REU (yet)
- no snapshots (yet)
- mystery drive bug (disable virtual device traps)
- GUI not yet updated

Win32 binary: x64sc-r22294-win32.zip

Source code (subversion repository):
svn co https://vice-emu.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vice-emu/branches/..

Hi ;-]

It seems like the emulation is working. If only someone could test my "test-program" on the real thang I'm a happy customer !!!

Btw, I've been having a strange issue (with both x64 and x64sc)... Namely warp mode doesn't seem to be used to it's full potential; I only get a speedup of about 300 - 400% on this machine (AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.2GHz), but on my 2GHz Pentium 4 laptop, I easily get to 700% speed, if not much higher.

It doesn't bother me so much, but I'm still kind of curious what the problem might be. I know it happens under Windows Server 2003 and windows 7 ultimate (both 64-bit), haven't tested on Gentoo yet.

No, they are not the same. I only have a 32 bit msys/mingw setup.

We'd love to have someone set up some automatic builds of the trunk though, volunteers?

Enable "Render to DX primary surface" in the video settings. Should bring back some speed.

thanks for removing the sound buffer msgbox, about time ;)

-cartexpert now requires parameter (no way!), and can't be activated anymore from menu.

in monitor, io d000 in this build doesn't work but i see on SF there's already a patch for it so I will try to build it tomorrow.

and while at it, my email is iancoog(at)email.it if you can change it in the about box =)
