Release id #212349 : VICE 3.6

Since there are some questions in the comments section of VICE 3.6, I figured it would be better use the forum for any questions.

So to start things off:

Quoting The Human Code Machine
But how can I save the monitor window position on GTK3 Vice Windows x64? After exiting it always opens the same small window.


Currently you can't, window resizing/repositioning support is different across OSes/WMs, so making this work properly for all configurations may never work. That said, I'm working on a "fix" to make it at least work on some systems.

except 2.4 never had as stable framerate or as low audio/video latency as 3.6 has? :) (and i dont buy the "user experience" thing myself. i find the menu structure on 2.4 truely horrible straight from hell, i'd ditch it for the central config dialog alone.)

I just meant that the feel of Vice emulation on Windows got worse after 2.4 (sid not keeping up, farts started, jerkiness, extremely slow and so on) and now it seems fixed. Great! Menus in 3.1 was nice. Haven't gotten used to these new ones yet, but seems logical and nice. :)

This might be a stupid question, but how do you pass cmd line parameters to VICE these days on MacOS?

/Applications/vice-x86-64-gtk3-3.6.0/x128.app/Contents/MacOS/x128 --help does exactly nada, netither does open -a /Applications/vice-x86-64-gtk3-3.6.0/x128.app --args -help

There's a "bin" folder next to the app folders, i believe, containing the CLI incarnations of the programs.
Worked for me, although something was always quite off with the working directory.

@Jackasser: Yes, what Krill says. This changed in one of the more recent versions. I had the same problem at first.

GTK Vice 3.6 starts with disabled sound output regardless of saved settings. Any idea why? 3.5 didn't manifest anything like this.

Might have something to do with the audio code disabling sound on buffer underruns when the buffer size and fragment size are too 'tight', I think on MacOS these settings are even tighter than on Windows/Unix.
So you could try to increase these settings, especially the buffer size, save settings and try running the emu again.

Edit: make sure you've re-enabled sound in the UI before saving.

Same sound issue as Jammer here also with GTK Vice 3.6 (Win11).

please try latest build from here: https://github.com/VICE-Team/svn-mirror/releases and see if the sound problem is gone
