VICE 2.0 has been released

VICE 2.0 has been released.

VICE is the Versatile Commodore Emulator, it emulates the Commodore C64,
C128, VIC20, PET , PLUS4 and the CBM-II, and it runs on Win32, Unix, DOS,
RiscOS, OS/2, BeOS, QNX, SkyOS, AmigaOS and GP2X systems.

VICE is *free* software released under the GNU General Public License,
and as such it comes with full source code.

Most important changes since the last version include:

* Changes in VICE 2.0
======================

** General
----------

http://sf.net/projects/vice-emu
You can read the latest development in the Subversion
repository, file bug reports, and similar things.
Check it out!

- New Openserver 5.x, Openserver 6.x and Unixware ports.

- New AROS64 port.

- New QNX 4.x port.

- New HPUX (HPPA and IA64) ports.

- New SkyOS port.

- New Atari Mint port.

- New Solaris Express aka OpenSolaris aka Solaris 11 port.

** C64/C128 changes
-------------------

- Improved $01 behaviour with regards to unused bit fall-off.

- New experimental NEOS and Amiga mouse support.

- Added a working RTC to the emulation of the IDE64 cartridge.

- New more precise PAL emulation, works only with double size
and double scan.

- Added support for the Action Replay 4 and StarDos cartridges.

- Improved REU compatibility

- Fixed CPU timing bug introduced in 1.22 (demo "Borderless").

- Fixed bugs in the CIA emulation (demo "So-phisticated",
W. Lorenz testsuite).

- Fixed various bugs in VIC-II emulation: Sprite x-positioning,
Latch X/Y, video mode changes, DEN bit handling, raster IRQ,
NTSC sprites and sprites in full/debugging border mode (list
of fixed demos/games too long to mention here).

- RESTORE key is handled differently now, fixing an NMI bug
because the NMI was asserted too long before.

** VIC20 changes
----------------

- Added unconnected c-bus floating byte support.

- New more precise PAL emulation, works only with double size
and double scan.

** PET changes
--------------

- Added support for toggling CB2 sound output line.

and double scan.

** Drive changes

- XRandR fullscreen implemented for all (but CRTC/VDC) videochips.

- XRandR/Fullscreen can now toggle the Statusbar/Menu

- Fixed unix mouse for single sized display.

- Fixed mouse grab and xaw menu popup.

- After a CPU jam user can select to resume emulation without
reset.

** MS-Windows changes

right-clicking on the VICE window.

- Keyboard shortcuts are definable in the configuration file
win_shortscuts.vsc

- Lots of fixes to the dailogs.

- Fixed the joystick system.

- Added warning dialog when the monitor is accessed without
having an open console window.

** Miscellaneous changes
------------------------

- Added support for more 3rd party basic extenders to petcat.

- Extended BMP saving to support 24bit.

- Fixed the joystick code of all emulators to handle state changes
on both joysticks at the same time.

- New monitor commands and features.

- New memmap feature which allows tracking of memory accesses,
activated by the configure option --enable-memmap.

- Fixed bug in ffmpeg/FFV1 driver. Should be really lossless now.

I dont understand why the new pal emulation is soo slow. yet, when double scan is switched off, it runs at full speed. There must be a fix for this as people have mentioned that it runs just fine using linux etc
