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/..

Doh, Ninja - complete co takes a lot less than 10 minutes here - svn up is done in seconds usually? :)

It was a bit better today, so I finally have the source (but svn still feels a bit aged ;) (Yes, this is personal opinion. Do not reply!))

Back to topic: Compiling and running went smooth, will use it as my default emulator now and report whenever I notice something.

Looking really forward to be able to select the CIA-type; I needed that a couple of times and also looked at the vice-sources, but well...

BTW if you bring VICE into the modern age, could you also bring your SCM into a modern age? Like git or whatever? The svn update takes more than 10 minutes already, and I haven't even reached your branch :(


Sorry to be off-topic, but please don't mix up slow connection speed with any concept of version control "modernity". Unless we want to have several more or less independent VICE source trees, git et al. will give no advantage worth mentioning.

you know.... the fact that i cant simply pull a recent trunk, work on it and then eventually push back my changes .... is pretty much exactly what stopped me working on the MMCR implementation. git ftw! =P

Krill: Sigh, I said "DO NOT REPLY"! Updating a git-repo is faster as its usage of bandwitdh is far more efficient alone. Scanning for differences between local copy and trunk is at least one magnitude faster (the reason that it worked for me later was not a better connection speed but the fact that I did a complete new checkout instead of updating my old repo). Other advantages? Having the complete history available without net-access, creating local branches on the fly, advanced merging-techniques, simplified patch creation... Your last sentence doesn't sound as if you have _really_ used git yet ;)

SVN is by no means useless, but for VICE I honestly think git would be the better alternative. Technically. If most people developing for VICE are not familiar with it, then it doesn't make sense yet, that's for sure, too.
