VICE v1.14

posted in Emulator Release by mfc on Jan 30th, 2004

VICE, a Commodore 64 emulator for Windows, DOS and *nix, was updated today! Here's a list of what's new:
    General
  • Audio and video streams can be recorded now. Unix users: Use configure parameter `--enable-ffmpeg'; make sure you have the required libraries installed (package ffmpeg-0.4.8 or newer).
  • Added IEC devices which allow to access printer or file system devices even if true drive emulation is enabled.
    VIC-II
  • Fixed some severe sprite collision detection bugs.
    Drive Changes
  • Increased the number of true drives to four.
  • Support for 1570 and 1571CR drives has been added (1571CR is not fully implemented though).
  • 1581 emulation is much more accurate now
    Printer Changes
  • Added Star NL10 printer emulation.
    Unix Changes
  • Gnome UI:
    • fixed resizing bug when PAL controls are hidden
    • Improved PAL control widget
    • Added Widgets for recording (Event, Audio/Video)
    • Multiple drive widgets are now supported.
    MS-Windows Changes
  • Added common peripherial devices, firmware ROM and IDE64 settings dialog.
    MS-DOS Changes
  • The source code can be compiled with Allegro 4.0 now.
  • Added printer settings dialog.
    Miscellaneous Changes
  • The standard output of petcat is switched to binary mode which prevents data corruption.
