VICE v1.12

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Jun 15th, 2003

VICE (Versatile Commodore Emulator), is an emulator of many families of Commodore computers. The current version emulates the C64, the C128, the VIC20, all the PET models (except the SuperPET 9000, which is out of line anyway), the PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610). Here's what's new:

Added -autoload switch which acts like -autostart but without actually starting the program
It is possible to use the printer emulation without switching off true drive emulation now

Mouse emulation should work again
Improved trap emulation compatibility

Fixed some VDC crashes
Added support for national firmware and keyboard mappings
Implemented fast IEC bus

New emulator. Currently it contains many bugs and several features are missing. Do not send any bug reports for now.

Fixed some raster interrupt emulation bugs
Some minor NTSC fixes
Reset should properly reset the VIC-II now

The ReSID state is saved in snapshots now

Improved GCR sync detection
Added some more jobcodes to the 1581 emulation
RAM mirrors are properly emulated now

Added Catweasel MKIII SID support
The Gnome popup dialogs now have titles again. This now can be used to hook up WM actions
Key events are passed to a focused VICE window even when the mouse is not inside the emulator window

Added Catweasel MKIII SID support
Next try to fix synchronization on very fast machines

Added fullscreen support!

Each file system drive has a separate error channel now
Added a command to the monitor to put a string into the keyboard buffer
The PC of the drive CPU emulation is correctly shown in the monitor prompt now
The monitor now shows the current line and cycle now
