    Frohe Weinachten vom VICE Team!

    Thanks for the 3.8 and merry christmas to the VICE team :)


    One thing I noticed :


    On Mac M1 running a program crashes the emulator instantly after enabling the WiC64, loading works but as soon as I type RUN it crashes ...

    ./../VICE.app/Contents/Resources/script: line 94: 1472 Bus error: 10 "$ROOT_DIR/bin/$PROGRAM" "$@"

    You don´t even have to run anything, even on RESET MACHINE CPU it´s crashing instantly ...

    Sync reset

    Unit 8: RESET.

    WiC64: WiC64 enabled

    Main CPU: RESET.

    ./../VICE.app/Contents/Resources/script: line 94: 1860 Bus error: 10 "$ROOT_DIR/bin/$PROGRAM" "$@"


    Vielen lieben Dank dem VICE TEAM für Ihre unermütliche Arbeit. :)



    Auch allen anderen, die hier Projekte aus Spass am Hobby zeigen und zum großen Teil kostenlos zur Verfügung stellen, meinen allergrößten Respekt.:thumbup:


    Es ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit, dass wir (die User) an solch tollen Projekten, in welcher Form auch immer, teilnehmen dürfen.:)


    Alles Gute, macht bitte weiter so........



    Schöne Weihnachtstage und hoffentlich ein gesundes, friedliches neues Jahr.:)

    Could not edit my post above, sorry ...


    Only the GTK3 version crashes, on SDL everything works fine after activating the WiC64 :)

    We recommend the GTK3 user interface over SDL2.

    What are the advantages under Windows?

    It's the maintained version, there's no native GUI binding for Windows anymore .


    Thanks for the report - Pls. file a report also here: https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/bugs/

    You may add as much information as possible information - full console log, commandline, did you build yourself (-> configure log, etc).

    thx, pottendo

    There should be the file "C64_Pro_Mono-STYLE.ttf" contained in the 'common' directory, which you then need to install first.

    It is installed, otherwise 3.7.1 wouldn't show it. Both screenshots were made on the same system.

    We talked about this issue before, need to dig that up.

    I uninstalled the font, made a restart, installed it again and that fixed it now! Thought i tried that already in the past but who knows.

    Maybe it was because of a different/older version of this font was installed and installing it didn't overwrite it.

    Thank you guys for mental support.

    sadly this disk image directory font issue is still an issue (Win11)

    No such thing here.


    But in Win7 i am not able to delete this font once one of the emus was launched. Not as "admin", not even as "system". I have to reboot to get rid of it.

    Same for Win 10 and 11.
    Once you started the emulation and the font has been "loaded", it is not possible to delete the font file anymore until next reboot of the PC system.

    Danke für die WiC64-Emulation!


    Ich emuliere gerade einen 40 Jahre alten Rechner, nutze die Software-Emulation einer nagelneuen, sehr coolen Hardware (WiC64), um diesen virtuellen Rechner ins Internet zu bringen, lade über die CSDB meinen eigenen Crack eines Games durch das Internet herunter und spiele das ... *mind blown* ...


    Danach habe ich mich durch Telnet-Emulation mit einer Mailbox verbunden, die eine echte C64 Mailbox auf einem Raspberry-Pi emuliert ... das ist so cool ... we've come a long way ...


    Flaschback:

    Als ich jung war - also kurz nach dem Krieg - habe ich in den 90er Jahren (MS-DOS) versucht, mit Miha Peternel in Slowenien (damals noch kommunistisches Ausland) zu telefonieren und händeringend Wege gesucht, ihm Geld per Post zu schicken, um an die Vollversion des C64s Emulators zu kommen ... irgendwelche X-1541-Kabel gelötet, um meine alten Disketten über die Druckerschnittstelle zum PC zu überspielen ... oh Mann ... die Steinzeit ...


    Ich habe versucht, es meinem Sohn zu erklären, aber der spawnt lieber eine virtuelle Jupyter-Umgebung irgendwo in der Cloud und macht da irgendwelche Data-Science-Magic.

    Da ist es schwer, Interesse für 6502-Assembler zu generieren ... aber, ich gebe nicht auf ... nach dem kommenden ChatGPT-Skynet-Incident werden alle wieder reumütig zum 6502 zurückkommen ... da bin ich sicher ... ;-)


    Einfach Danke an alle VICE Entwickler.

    Ich habt einen alten Mann sehr glücklich gemacht :-)

    P.S.

    Das Forum braucht dringend "Scrolltext" und "Rasterbars" ... statt "Snowflakes" ... das wär' schon cool ... es ist ja nicht so, als ob es hier an Experten für "Scrolltext" und "Rasterbars" mangelt ... und wenn PHP zu langsam ist, dann machen wir das halt in Assembler ;-)


    P.P.S.

    Gibt es eigentlich schon ein Web-Framework für 6502-Assembler?

    Warum eigentlich nicht? ;-)

    Yes, the default for "SidResidFilterBias" is `RESID_6581_FILTER_BIAS_DEFAULT`, which is 500. The resource range is -5000 to 5000, which translates to a range of -5.0mV to +5.0mV, so I suspect the 500 isn't converted correctly, resulting in 500mV, which sets the slider to its upper bound of 5.0mV.


    Thanks for the heads up, I'll have a look at the slider code and fix this.
