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/..

Whoever fucked this up did it on all trees it seems - we just figured:

- run x64 in any plain basic mode

- poke2,2:sys2

-> ALT+F4 ... rest is dead

I really really need to know who fucked this one up so tremendously :) --- that person owes me a large amount of time now.

What x64 revision are we talking about? Not x64sc?
Anyway I can't reproduce this on win32 nor for x64sc or the trunk x64 version.

We are just discussing this on irc.

My recent build is linux 32bit on ubuntu 8.04 - another build is by groepaz on his 64 bit system.

Both are recent svn checkouts - mine was compiled with --enable-memmap - groepaz without. Both crash when entering basic again after the soft/hard requester. Also additional soft/hard resets using key combo didnt revive the emulation. On groepaz it crashed with 100% cpu usage after a few hard resets.

Similar behaviour was seen by someone else on a 2.1 (!!!) windows build - not as straight forward on the crash but reproducable. (and as I just hear: even loading a snapshot doesnt resolve the problem when at this point)

viceteam will have to look hard for this truely annoying issue.

# svn up (or clean checkout in case of sc)
# ./autogen.sh
# ./configure --enable-memmap --disable-ffmpeg --enable-fullscreen --enable-gnomeui && make clean && make && make install

revision is 22294

Pressing SHIFT fixes the issue! LOL - sometimes :)

Someone will throw this at sf.net I guess - too lazy myself now.

So, to get back on track:

- Crest Light (sunkist) sometimes shows a small graphics glitch just above the scroller to the right. (6569 emulation)

- Crest Light (mirinda) shows a small glitch on the left at the bottom of the grey area. There is a bug in the same spot on a real 6569R3 box, but a different one.

Both are under investigation.

- +H2K, circular screen wipe after C=64 texture part glitches.
This bug was related to reuse of sprites around the fetch cycles and has been fixed in r22308.

I know this may be offtopic. But is there any link where i can download the X64e (which is a modified version of vice that gives more solid refresh rate for tweaked 50hz video mode) This was posted in the lemon64 forums but link does not exist anymore

no, that version was only ever spread in binary form, as you said yourself, it disappeared. however, you can get the very same effect by enabling opengl sync, and then switching emulation speed to "unlimited".

great news, altho vice was accurate enough for me :) but I was never a perfectionist. its always nice to see these efforts.

x64sc doesn't crash on Aero (Windows 7) upon moving the window on the taskbar. yay! (most likely same will work for Vista)
