I think the reason was that lower bit depths were not fully supported leading to problems on some platforms.
shouldn't be a problem, it will just behave like before in the resolutions/bitdepths that aren't patched. |

That sounds ok to me. I guess we'll drop that into the snapshots ASAP. :) |

What was the reason the C64DTV isn't included in the regular Vice build again? |

VICE team officially stated they won't add support for "emulator of emulator" or some other crappy explaination. They are okay with unofficial releases though.

Quoting Raf They are okay with unofficial releases though.
They don't get a choice in the matter. Vice is released under the GPL which means you can release whatever fork you want of the vice code, providing you do all that change notice or inclusion of original files business.
Further more, since the VICE name isn't a registered trademark, you can name your release pretty much anything, like say, "VICEthatIsntHeldBackByPuristWankage".
Vice is a wonderful emulator that is, without a doubt, the most accurate emulator of any system we have, it's something truly magnificent. It's just a shame that the Vice team refuse almost all patches sent to them (usually citing something about only emulating a real C64 or such).
Maybe if enough good patches are included in Vice+ they might pull their heads out of their arses a bit on this one. |

as for c64, it's the least accurate of the 3 "major" emus :=P |

@Groepaz: In order, which C64 emus are most accurate? (according to you of course) |

Actually I find their "explanation" quite valid.
Furthermore: "they" "should" concentrate rather on bugs than implementing a yet buggy new huge feature (as DTV).
Also: VICE-only demos suck already as it is. So DTV will become a plattform noone ever coded ON?
To each his/her own...
Also as already mentioned: its GPL so no whining has justification (or is this the big gap some bamus left here?) IMHO.
I still feel like people complaining the most are doing the least (this includes me right now complaining about complaining)

Just out of curiosity, since i am not really into OSX coding(only some realbasic experience here) but i see that vice uses X11 as display port.
Would it take much work to actually make it native cocoa instead of X11? X11 works but is slow in responding since it first needs to launch X11 and then vice. Using native display would increase the loading speed very much..
