Oswald: Settings -> Autostart settings -> "PRG autostart mode" -> Inject to RAM
The Phantom: edit vice.ini and increase the soundfragmentsize to 4, it will help with buffer problems (popup in 2.2) or crackles/jitters in 2.3+ (SoundFragmentSize=4)

yeah, soundfragmentsize=4 will eliminate the noise when exiting from warp mode too, nice hint. would be nice if it was selectable in sound settings (large=2, VERY large=4) =) |

thanks for the help!
tlr: OS = XP, x64.exe, default settings. not 100% sure I did not see this bug on the real thing, been a few years I last saw this demo even in emu. anyway now checked and the sprite flicker bug is not present in 2.2. |

Ok, verified that this is a regression in x64 2.3. It's probably related to all cpu improvements done for x64sc.
x64 2.2 works. x64 2.3 & 2.4 bugs.
x64sc 2.3 and 2.4 works.
In general x64sc is much more accurate that x64. |

Good to see improvements in G64 handling, old Electronic Arts titles' fat tracks pass much more smoothly now. Yay! |

Diskdrive sounds do not work in OSX, do they? I'm running vice-macosx-cocoa-i386+x86_64-10.6-clang-2.4.dmg |

Out of interest, which ffmpeg are we supposed to use on this one? (on win32) The dlls I had for 2.3 don't seem to work, looking through the binary it says 'avcodec-52.dll' but I've tried a few ffmpeg installs and they're not being picked up for me. (also tried deleting my winvice.ini)

I have similar problems as 4mat. On win7 here, tried different things, but i'm not able to capture a video from VICE any longer. Is this a common thing? |
