Anyone knows what happened to vice.pokefinder.org?
Seems like there is no new build on http://vice.pokefinder.org/ since the 08.05.2017.
I already mailed them but did not get a reply back.
Anyone knows what's up with the site? I guess it's the only site to get daily builds of the latest WinVice? |

Today it seems the site is down?

Or years.
Have to check with Blacky to get the GTK build shice going. X64 builds dont seem to follow the --no-arch switch completely and crash on various machines while working on others. 32bit builds fail to build properly.
Given the tremendous feedback and desire for the nightlies I dont feel a strong urge to hurry currently though. Dano and Bacchus seem to be the only ones wanting new downloads :) |

I always built locally, but that dev-machine is still 32-bit (shame on me), so making 32-bit builds work would be smashing! |

if you can get new versions of WINVice sure, sounds great.. the GTK version is a bit useless to me at the moment though... But would love some new WineVICEs so I can test if the 1581 format issue is fixed ;) |

thats such a brilliant freudian slip, thank you.
the "crashes randomly on other peoples machines" was fixed (hopefully) a couple days ago, iirc. it was a fancy packaging issue with GTK or something like that.
as for 32bit - if you really need that, you might want giving it a try a help fixing it - else probably noone will give a damn, since we are all using 64bit boxes now. i wouldnt even know how to make a (clean) 32bit build here atm :) |

Ah... well, the Remote Desktop crash pops up an error along the lines of that GL doesn't support non-power-of-2 textures ... I'm not sure why Remote Desktop would cause that problem though...............

I've noticed with the latest nightly build that breakpoints appear to be broken ... as soon as I set one and exit the monitor, execution stops. Each time I exit it single steps through the code...
ie. Vice seems to constantly think that it's hitting my code breakpoint when it's not...
I use x64sc.
3.2 r35432:35435 (Gtk3) works fine so I've reverted to this version for now. |

That might be missing in the UI, I'll look into that.
Quoting danoI can't seem to be able to attach a RetroReplay (bin) file which i used in WinVice up to now..?
Select "Attach cartridge image..." in the menu, and in the dialog in the lower left corner should be a combobox 'cartridge type': select "Freezer". Now a new comboxbox ('Cartridge ID') should show up in the dialog where you can select "Retro Replay". Now you can select the RR bin image and click Attach. |

My repro steps were:-
Enter monitor
Optional: del (delete all existing breakpoints)
BK 4000
x
and then Vice would simply break immediately at the next instruction.
I tried doing the "reset to factory" on the settings to no avail (just in case I'd changed something that was untested).
And by the way, while we're talking about missing menu options, I think "Pause Emulation" has disappeared as well..? Alt-P works fine of course. |

"click on the cpu/fps indicator in the statusbar :)"
Umm... it does nothing for me :-( .. the mouse pointer turns to a hand as though it should do something when you click - but it doesn't...
It does tell me that the emulator is paused, though, which is cool.
Generally, that's a fantastic idea putting the oft-used stuff on the status bar by the way. That would be a huge time saver for me allowing disks to be mounted just by clicking on that Disk section ... my memory is the problem as I need to snap out of using the File menu to do that ;-) |

Just downloaded GTK3VICE-3.2-win32-r35575 and setup retroreplay as my cartridge. worked fine, as expected.
Then i started Booze' Demo Mekanix, which i used to check if the emu can hold a stable 50fps on my ultrabook.
But the demo now has some really strange visual bugs with sprites not displaying correctly.
Removed the cart and there bugs still are there.
Seems like a sprite color is missing or not displayed?

Feels like uninitialized memory / variables. Have you run static code analysis on VICE? Still weird, should have been noticed earlier. |

Searched my whole drive here, could not find such a file?
Strangeness continues.. Tried the same with my Laptop at work (Windows 10 Maschine also, latest updates. Fujitsu Lifebook U7478, i7-8550U), and the erros occur here too.
I did the same as at home.
Downloaded the file.
Depacked the GTK Folder to some folder on my drive (no over-depack into an existing folder)
Started x64sc.exe
Attached RetroReplay as standard cart
Attached Mekanix D64
Run demo
Just the same as at home.

I trust your skills in those matters.
Intermittent behaviour is usually caused by uninitialised states, race conditions or problems with external dependencies.
I still woudn't rule out uninitialised states. It *might* be a bug in Mekanix and that the .vicerc files differes somehow triggering the bug. |

I think I managed to fix the monitor breakpoint bug. Seems the inclusion of <stdbool.h> in gtk3/archdep.h caused trouble with the monitor code, probably due to lex/yuck having a bool of a different size. Tested this on a 32-bit Linux VM and the breakpoint stuff works again.
Haven't been able to test it with a win32 Gtk3 build via msys2, somehow linking against C++ code fails, though this works fine with Win64 builds. Another thing to look into.
Anyway, next time these bugs occur, we would very much appreciate it if these bugs are also reported on our bug tracker. There's a few VICE devs lurking on CSDb, but not all.
Ofcourse if you won't/can't use our bug tracker, at least post here, without bug reports we can't fix bugs. |

- "i 0800 d000" and then use the window slider to the right to move the output. Around $a000 I am getting a hard VICE crash. |

Strange, I built Gtk3VICE-x64 on Win10 with msys2 and managed to make the monitor window hang once by doing `i 0800 d000` and then resizing the window and attempting to scroll up.
Any attempt after that results in normal behaviour, I can scroll up to $3410, which appears to be the size of the VTE buffer (ie ~ 1000 lines), it doesn't scroll up after that.
I assume this also works with POKE2,2:SYS2 ? Makes for quicker testing. |

I get some odd crashes in the Monitor on Windows... if I can get the code compiling I can take a look at the cause... it seems to happen when I switch to other apps (eg. Visual Studio) and switch back. Sometimes if i’ve been viewing memory (eg M 8000) then as i switch back to Vice I see that the memory output has highlighting 100% red ... and then it crashes.
Can’t easily give repro steps other than this so i’ll myself sometime soon. |

Nightly builds also fails on my Win10 box with `i 0800 d000`, but it works when setting `bank ram`. I get a lot of non-ascii tokens in the monitor with the $a000+ stuff even causing the monitor to output some text with a red background.
On 64-bit Gtk3VICE, these non-ascii tokens are properly replaced with normal ascii tokens ('.' for non-ascii).
So somehow the 32-bit build doesn't properly translate the data into printable characters and vte fails. |

Try setting LC_ALL=C, that appears to "solve" the problem. When using msys2 you can use `LC_ALL=C src/x64`, on Windows with cmd.exe you'll have to use `set LC_ALL=C` before running x64.exe.
So now we need to find a way to set the proper charset inside VICE, ie avoid Gtk3 using Unicode/UTF-8. |

got the latest GTK3VICE-3.2-win32-r35685 from pokefinder today and noticed that the "minimum" display size looks somewhat scaled:
https://ibb.co/k0E1JA
f.e. the "r" in ram or the "c" in cyberpunx.
if i took a screenshot/media it looks correct, but this minimum sized display is surely missing some pixels.
..not sure if this is just a windows thing?
EDIT: if i uncheck "keep aspect ratio" is seems to look correct? sizing the window up and then down again still keeps a somewhat proper minimum size. hth? |
