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.

@Groepaz: I'm testing a C64 ool that allow the possibility to attach a harddisc, but I have no idea what technical specs it assumes, so I wanted to try.

VICE emulates the CMD HD, IDE64 and some IEEE harddisk - you gotta know what you need and set it up accordingly :) (You'll need the ROMs for it)

Thanks, when I get to further testing, I'll see how I'll get the ROMS and how it's set up. No priority at this point.

On macOS I have no video drivers available for recording media (GTK version). I have ffmpeg installed with 'brew install ffmpeg'. Is there a way to make video recording work?

All the ffmpeg dylibs appear to be in the Mac dist, so can someone check "Help" -> "Compile time features", and see what it says for HAVE_FFMPEG?

That's the same as my Linux build. That means VICE is configured for ffmpeg and the video recording tab should work. Odd.

Sorry wasn't accurate enough, I am using the Apple Silicon Mac (arm64) version. This version does not let me select a video driver (empty dropdown). It says HAVE_FFMPEG yes in the Help section.

I have checked though; this doesn't seem to be an arm64 binary, this is what I did:

lipo -archs x64sc.app/Contents/MacOS/x64sc

The result: x86_64, where it should say arm64

So I tried the Intel Silicon Mac version, this also reports x86_64 architecture, but the video recording works on this version!

For now I will use the Intel (x86_64) version. My two cents from this:
1. The Apple Silicon version on the website it not actually an arm64 binary. It is an Intel x86_64 binary. It will run through the Rosette emulation layer and not make use of the arm64 advantages (speed/stability).
2. You could offer a universal binary with both architectures in it. I did this for SIDFactory II, maybe I can be of some help.

The binary is ARM - but the wrapper/launcher .app binary is not. The wrapper is generated with platypus, which currently always generates x86 apps. However this is is a launcher, the real binary is tucked away inside VICE.app.

I've replicated the ffmpeg thing on my M1 - I'll look into it and fix it for VICE 3.6.1.
