I remember back in the day all of us huddled around the tape deck watching the tape counter go up praying it make it to the end and not fail at like 99%Damn, a min or 2?
Just like the good old days
And kids these days complain about updatesI remember back in the day all of us huddled around the tape deck watching the tape counter go up praying it make it to the end and not fail at like 99%
Many times we had to get the tape cleaner fluid out or manually adjust the heads to get a troublesome game to boot
Exactly.. We had to work for our gamesAnd kids these days complain about updates
And learn basic Basic to run them.Exactly.. We had to work for our games
That was as far as my BASIC knowledge stretched thoughAnd learn basic Basic to run them.
Don't forget that
My Brother did have a code book though.
Make an empty .txt file and put something like this:
cheats = 2
cheat0_desc = "Infinite Ammo Claire (1/2)"
cheat0_code = "800D49F5+0063"
cheat0_enable = "true"
cheat1_desc = "Infinite Ammo Claire (2/2)"
cheat1_code = "800D4A01+0063"
cheat1_enable = "true"
I'm doing cheats for Castlevania: Circle of the Moon.
cheats = 3
cheat0_desc = "Must Be On (1/3)"
cheat0_code = "992374BA3E12"
cheat0_enable = "true"
cheat1_desc = "Must Be On (2/3)"
cheat1_code = "92B86D0C3C33"
cheat1_enable = "true"
cheat1_desc = "Must Be On (3/3)"
cheat1_code = "2DEAB2677EEF"
cheat1_enable = "true"
@infidelity .D64 format C64 roms are working here.. They take a long time to load though and performance is not great, I remember it running 100% before?
This is the screen after loading the D64..View attachment 112842and you can see the FPS is 42 (supposed to be 60?)
It takes a min or 2 before the game loads from there

this core seem to be unplayable for now (it was before)...
did you experiment same slowdown with the sdl2 one i post earlier ?
@infidelity you can also try it to see if you have better luck with your games/crt.
here a recent build: https://filebin.net/fzvsd0xzxcld8ivp
if you try it , don't forget to put also the info core in the info folder.
Some info/tips about this core...
with this core , to speed up loading you can go to in-game menu (select) and go to drive>
and unselect True drive emulation, and select Virtual device traps. Yes i have to code this as default ...
Then game loading will be very faster
use stick to navigate in menu (up/down to move , Right direction to enter submenu , Left to exit submenu , Button B to validate a choice).
Also i notice some weird bug with left stick in some games (have to look why) so for these games, I have to choose right stick .
if you notice some weird speed in game and no sound , then you can be in "warp mode" (it can be see with status bar with a W before fps) , then hit button R to exit warp mode .
For the record,
Code:/* Lstick->L = Joy1->L */ /* Lstick->R = Joy1->R */ /* Lstick->D = Joy1->D */ /* Lstick->U = Joy1->U */ /* Rstick->L = Joy0->L */ /* Rstick->R = Joy0->R */ /* Rstick->D = Joy0->D */ /* Rstick->U = Joy0->U */ /* Button->B = Joy1 Fire */ /* Button->Y = RETURN */ /* Button->SELECT = UI MENU */ /* Button->START = AUTOSTART MENU */ /* Button->PAD_UP = CURSOR UP/DOWN */ /* Button->PAD_DOWN = RUN/STOP */ /* Button->PAD_LEFT = CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT */ /* Button->PAD_RIGHT = SPACE */ /* Button->A = DEL */ /* Button->X = C= */ /* Button->L =-> Swap Joy ports */ /* Button->R =Warp Mode */ /* Button->R2 =-> Virtual Keyboard */ /* Button->L2 =->Joy0 Fire */ /* Button->R3 =-> Nothing (SDL mouse Left) */ /* Button->L3 =-> Nothing (SDL mouse Right) */
IT FLYS NOW with Warp + FF enabled I was getting 300% speed!. Would that help speed up other slower Cores that have a SDL2 version? (using the Right Stick just controls the other Character ) but that's not related to the Vice Core..
Were you using vice_x64_libretro.rpx core in this paragraph? or sdl2 one?THANK YOU! I can safely say speed is no longer an issue
All sdl2Were you using vice_x64_libretro.rpx core in this paragraph? or sdl2 one?
@rioray x64sdl2_libretro is working great
BTW is there any way to map the in game joystick to the d-pad? In Bruce Lee I need to move Bruce with the right stick and ZR to hit, it feels akward
Also if I change in-game settings and try to save it say it's no possible.
Thanks for bringing this new core, pretty apreciated

I should be clear and say I don't have to type anything.. It DOES auto load for me. have you ever tried messing with the C64 settings before? C64 may have config files in SD:/retroarch/config that may need deleting.
