Update: VICE (Versatile Commodore Emulator) for PS3
version 1.0.2 updates for C64, C128, PLUS4 and VIC20 are now available followed by
version 1.0.3 complete with source code!
Today I have released VICE (Versatile Commodore Emulator) for PS3 release 1.0, which is a C64, PLUS4 and VIC20 emulator for PS3 JailBreak users.
Please note, this is not related to the
forthcoming release by
AreaScout. But a bit of competition never hurt anyone
Downloads:

PS3 VICE PLUS4 v1.0.0 /
PS3 VICE VIC20 v1.0.0
Currently supporting the C64, PLUS4 and C16.

Source code to be made available pending some serious cleanup and refactoring.

-----------------------
- Initial Release, based on Vice 2.2.7
- Full-speed emulation
- Audio enabled (FastSID)
- Fullscreen support, 16:9, 4:3
- Video filters, with preview
- Autoload
- Warp Mode (Achieves ~ 350-700% actual speed)
- On-Screen Keyboard (partial support).
- Keyboard Support (partially implemented).
- Supports all known (uncompressed) formats (.d64 .d71 .d80 .d81 .d82 .g64 .g41 .x64 .t64 .tap .prg .p00)
Thanks go out to Squarepusher, Shinhalsafar, Cm0nkey, Airmaker for their hard work on the Snes9x PS3 port, and their cellFramework library. This work also incorporates their menu system and config UI. Also to the original VICE team for creating a solid and well maintained codebase to work with.
Menu Controls:
---------------
CROSS - Launches the emulator with the selected title set to fast autoload
TRIANGLE - Launches the emulator directly into C64 BASIC
SELECT - Settings / Configuration
START - Returns to the emulator
Vice Controls:
---------------
CROSS - Fire
D-PAD - Joystick
SELECT - Swap joysticks
START - Menu/Configuration
TRIANGLE - Mapped to keyboard for 'Y'
CIRCLE - Mapped to keyboard for 'N' - Doubly mapped to 'UP' (See note 1)
SQUARE - Mapped to keyboard for
L1 - Mapped to keyboard for 'F1'
L2 - Mapped to keyboard for 'F3'
R1 - Mapped to keyboard for 'F5'
R2 - Mapped to keyboard for 'F7'
R3 - On-Screen-Keyboard (partially supported)
L2 + R2 - Warp Mode
*1 The CIRCLE button has been doubly mapped to the joystick 'UP' direction. This is useful for platform style games where the UP direction indicates a JUMP action. Clearly a difference in design aesthetics between joysticks and control pads, this might be more desirable.
Known Issues
------------
- Compressed formats currently NOT supported (.zip .bz2 .gz .d6z .d7z .d8z .g6z .g4z .x6z)
- On-Screen-Keyboard is not fully mapped yet. Some keys will register incorrectly, if at all.
- Actual Keyboard support not fully implemented, but good enough for the minute.
- Does not save settings / configuration
No.
Are you sad?...
...
Its ACID CFW not a debug unit. Beside that you even recognized that the network cat is called Haxxx ?
For what you think i have showen the haxxx cat with all the debug options in ?
You can't hack a debug unit to time. No JB no USB Firm Loader.
At least you talk the files are loaded from usb, so how you can say it's a debug unit?
Here are the details from DeViL303 at kbx.org (linked above): As you may know, the Acid CFW project was first released on PS3News.com over a month ago by Cfwprophet, and since then its progress is going like a snowball on a big hill !!
We are working on this continously and even in last few hours Cfwprophet and myself have made some great discoveries with regard to Debug options! More news to come so watch this space for more great info about this Custom Firmware for PlayStation 3!
This is a work in progress so any help or ideas you can offer will be gratefully accepted. Big thanks to PSJailBreak team for making all this possible, Hermes and KaKaRaTo for all the payloads, Grimso (you know why!), JaicraB for the Firmloader which is vital at this point, Nev for all the work on this site, PS3 News, CJ and all the other great people over at PS3News.com plus many more.
If we all get together and hack this brilliant piece of technology it will keep getting better and better, who knows where it will stop! Even today there is talk of JailBreak for 3.50FW - WOW! Keep up the good work guys!
