Vice with support for the C64 DTV.

This has been in the works for a while.

It's not at all complete, but this weekend VICII-DTV support was implemented so several of the released demos run on it. :)

Get it here for a taste:

Source code + pre-built win32 binary + preconfigured flash image.

Quote: Tried some demos, they load but so far very few are really 100% working.
Working demos:

Numero_uno/Crest
The_king_is_back/Crest
HelloDTV/Noice
Blitter_scroll/TLR
Newtons_Cradle/TRSi

And even though they are few, what I saw it's stunning. :)


The king is back is DTV1 so it will always bug.

I couldn't get Numero Uno running myself, how did you do it?
It hangs during the loader here...

While you are at it try 320*4754 too.

these are some annotation I took while trying to make it work

- RAM extensions must be DISABLED
- DISABLE video cache, as it makes colours wrong
- 1541 seems having problem, use 1541-II as default
- better disable "save setting on exit" and manually save settings after setting
TDE ON + VirtDevTraps OFF
Sound/Buffer=100
Video 400x300x32,
joystick in port#1
drive 1541-II.
- 1581 failed to load, at least with 2 1581 dtv demos
- PRGs apparentily do not load, always inject PRGs in D64s
- copy win_sym.vkm win_sym_de.vkm
or
copy win_pos.vkm win_sym_de.vkm
if win_sym_de.vkm does not exist, else keyboard won't work (I have vice 1.20 as default, keybaord setting clashesh with 1.21)

320x4754/Crest works, but the scrolling picture is only greyscale.
Edit: checked the screenshot, I think it's intended to be greyscale, so it works. :)

This might be a little bit off-topic, but can somebody make me a screenshot of this: display test
and save it as png or bmp or any other lossless format so i can import that palette into my paint program?

I would do it myself, but i can't get the patched version to work for some reason

@ian: Ah... I wonder why, it works on a 1541 with the DTV.
Maybe the Exos V3 loader doesn't work in C64 emulation + 1541 in Vice-1.21? Something for groepaz....

Confirmed, Exosv3 works only with 1541-II

ian: "- PRGs apparentily do not load, always inject PRGs in D64s"

Just saw this. It works here. Did you use x64dtv with the flashrom image from the wiki?
It might be that it doesn't work well with the stock kernal.

Yes, I got the x64dtv-patch62.exe and dtvrom.bin from there, then press K to select alt version, I think that exiting with X or Q it uses normal C64 Kernal, and it doesn't run any prg, for example HELLODTV.PRG. Injecting in a d64, pressing K and loading from there works.

You should do 'X'. It loads the DTV kernal with my patches from kernalpatcher 1.0. 'K' runs peiselulli's kernal which has a 1541 turbo on by default.

EDIT: not "loads". it just uses it. Both kernals are resident in flash.

Weird, with X didn't worked later, now it's ok, both numero_uno.prg and hellodtv.prg
I wonder what did I *really* did :) thanks.
