Download: VICE C64 Emulator v1.0.3 Update & Source Code for PS3

ChangeLog:

Build 1.0.3:

Configuration / Settings can now be saved
Menu based configuration now supports some of the more common VICE settings
Added mouse support
Physical keyboard support improved (still some minor bugs). Added positional/symbolic key layout modes
Added ZIP and GZIP support
Added HUD options for framerate/speed display
Added HUD options for Disk/Tape activity
Added multiple disk drive support
Disk images can be inserted using TRIANGLE + L1/L2/R1/R2 for drives 8, 9, 10, 11 respectively.
ReSID-FP support has been added, providing significantly better audio emulation.
Turn up the speakers on this, it's a world of difference.
Support for various SID models have been added as part of ReSID-FP
Maximum resampling under ReSID-FP is now default, using the original 6581R4 model SID.
Fixed a bug when using compatibility mode. Occasionally TDE was not enabled correctly.

Happy gaming!

Great work, everything seems to be working fine now. One question though, on the keyboard emulation what key is run/stop? I need the key to get past one of the game intros.

Thanks TimRex, I have linked to the update in the first post now and +Rep!

VICE 1.0.2 released

CHANGELOG
- Support for C128
- On-Screen Keyboard fixed
- Initial support for ReSID emulation (higher quality audio)

- ReSID emulation optimised to use AltiVec instruction set, yielding a significant performance boost against higher quality audio emulation in resampling mode (see changelog)

- Default ReSID quality now set to maximum (Resampling at 90% Band Pass)

- Fixed minor redraw bug that caused the screen buffer to flip back to settings screen after a redraw/blit timeout
- Added PIC1.PNG

- Support to insert a disk image without rebooting (TRIANGLE)

- Added compatibility SlowLoad mode (SQUARE)
This will disable FastLoad and enable True Drive Emulation (TDE) for those titles that require it for improved compatibility

- Mapped RUN/STOP key to L3

- Mapped right control-stick to cursor keys (up/down/left/right)

- Fixed F1/F3/F5/F7 key mapping to controller L1/L2/R1/R2

- Finally... Disabling audio emulation altogether during warp mode has increased CPU throughput to 1749%
That ought to help any long load times.

- Optimised audio buffer sizes

Thanks for that ClausG76.

Claus, thanks for the feedback. Actual keyboard support is very much incomplete and isn't currently a major focus, though I'll look into it for sure. Also, 1.0.2 has resolved the menu swap problem.

Saving of default path config is on the list for a future revision, along with a whole host of VICE specific config options.
