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.

Quote: There's a "bin" folder next to the app folders, i believe, containing the CLI incarnations of the programs.
Worked for me, although something was always quite off with the working directory.


I've fixed the working directory thing btw. The bin/ launchers will now preserve the current pwd, and the .app launchers will set it to your home directory instead of a folder within VICE.app :)

These changes will be in 3.6.1 but you can get the new behaviour from the r41431 builds at https://sourceforge.net/projects/vice-emu/files/experimental%20..

The wrapper is generated with platypus, which currently always generates x86 apps.

In case you haven't gotten around to it yet, I just tried Platypus 5.4 r1217 built from the current GitHub master branch and verified that it generates x86_64 + arm64 apps.

i'm curious if these bugs only happen in my system...

win10pro 19043.1415 locale TR lang TR,

x64sc.exe,

emulation screen appears in windowed mode as usual, after i click CRT or Mixer controls at lower panel, window is expanded. Unclicking them, gray bars appear above & below emulation screen.

vsid.exe,

buttons below playlist, only
add tune to playlist and clear playlist buttons work. others not.

That happens on all systems.

The gray bands appear because Gtk doesn't resize the window after the CRT and/or mixer widgets are hidden. And since both the main menu bar and the status bar are set to non-expanding, it expands the rendering area. I used to resize the window to 1x1 pixels when disabling a CRT or mixer widget, causing Gtk to minimize the space used for the window, but that obviously didn't work well for people who had their window manually stretched to a certain size.
Throw in the fact that window decorations are involved in getting/setting window sizes and Gtk doesn't know about them (the window manager adds those) and things get hairy quickly.
I've added a hotkey to restore the display to its minimum size (Alt+R) to alleviate the problem at little bit, quicker than manually dragging the window to its minimum size.

The VSID playlist is still a work in progress, and low priority. My focus (heh) is on the proper emulators, especially x64sc. I'll work on VSID again after we've released 3.6.1.

I tried the sinchai joystick adapter on MacOs Monterey 12.1 with Vice 3.6. The directions work, but the fire button shows a blue square in Vice when pressed, instread of a red square. But fire is not detected by any games.

This may very well be a Sinchai+MacOs hardware problem, but since Vice detects at least something as shown by the blue square, perhaps it can be "fixed" in Vice by changing some threshold setting or something like that?

please try latest build from here: https://github.com/VICE-Team/svn-mirror/releases and see if the sound problem is gone :)

If not, please fire up the "gamecontroller" test thing in windows, and tell what it reports (number of axes, buttons etc)

edit: oh it is macos... macos seems kindof broken. still do the above, please :)

I didn't notice a sound problem on MacOs.

How do I fire up the "gamecontroller" test thing (on MacOs)?

I dont know. Assuming this is a proper OS - there surely is some kind of settings dialog that lets you setup and test gamecontrollers?
