A couple of notes
- parameter -soundbufsize 1 makes the sound very jerky here. No wonder it was set to be at least 100
- new PAL emulation is not usable for watching demos, it's a CPU hog.
- after reduilding with --enable-memmap i've tried mmsh and mmsave. Why saving in bmp? I think a text dump like this could be more useful

wow thumbs up guys. minor bugreport: disk image & tape image / prg view filter is missing from the autostart requester.

the new pal emulation is really a cpu killer :) my machine runs even debris/fr faster than dtv+new palemu :D

edit: btw someone with the urge to write about DTV coding into codebase64? Jeri's docs are really cryptic ;) frantic will you open a section for it?

For those wanting a better dtvrom.bin
hxxp://iancoog.altervista.org/vice/dtvrom_12.rar
Dtvboot/dtvmon 1.2 by TLR, alternate kernal by Peiselulli and better palette.
The one provided with VicePLUS 1.1 has nothing apart the nice intropic ;)

The new pal emulation is horrible, it sucks the juice out of the machine like nothing I have seen before. Also the colours are way of the chart in my version. rendering the test I made some 7 years ago will not result in proper colours.

A fast pal emulation will give unusual colours. Have not figured out why...

Also there are some other stuff that I could complain about, but will leave out here. I think the point is well taken considering some reactions. There are stuff to be made. Lets hope 1.2 will feature upgrades.

strangely, the new pal emu only seems to have major speed problems on windows, and it works fine on linux ... also the soundbuffer size can easily be 1ms here without jerky sound. can't say i care =)

ES: the colors should really be ok though, you might have to play with the settings, maybe the defaults are a bit off. (and always remember, colors will never look like on your c64)

http://picobay.com/dtv_wiki/index.php?title=DTV_Programming is an extended version of Jeri's original docs and should explain the basics quite well. If anything there is still cryptic, just ask here :-).
