I noticed flickering when trying to run games made specifically for NTSC on a PAL machine and the other way around. You can try to switch machines and see if that gets rid of the flickering. Are you using N3DS or O3DS?Noticing a lot of flicker (gyruss, gumshoe), is there a way to adjust this?
@Badda You know how much I love your emulator. But I noticed something “off” today. When comparing games running in your port of Vice64 to the same games running in the PSP Vice64 port, the frame rate in the PSP port of Vice64 was much more fluid. It almost seemed like the difference between seeing a game run at 30fps be 60fps. Both work great but wondering what would account for the difference.
Have been using this to play Adventure Genre games on my New 3DS XL USA and it works even better than on PC.

Did you switch machines (PAL <-> NTSC) and did that help?New 3ds xl. Using a usa system.

Ok, I would like to reproduce your issue - could you please give me a step-by-step guide? Also on your mentioned "press play on tape" issue ...Tried it with a few pal and ntsc settings. No luck. There's also the issue of "Press play on tape" making a significant number of games unplayable. Load "The heist" to reproduce this error.

I checked his collection before making the decision to move to gamebase64. The collection is indeed impressive and well curated, but it aims mainly at Windows PC users. The launch files and optimized input mappings are for PC, there is only one huge .7z-file to download the whole collection and the google spreadsheet where all games are listed is missing a lot of important information. In the end, it was easier to integrate with gamebase64 because they distribute a machine readable database which can be easily integrated with.Thanks for the GB feature Badda.
There's a guy who's gradually curating a list of, subjectively, decent c64 games, although they are configured to work via a piece of Windows software called Launchbox I wonder if there's an easy way to link the list to the Gamebase db?

If someone would convert the c64-dreams collection into a database that I can integrate with, I would be more than happy to do that. I would need the following fields in the database:
- Game name
- Release year
- Genre
- Publisher
- Cracker
- Language
- Comments (e.g. instructions on how to play/start)
- Link to screenshot image(s)
- Download link (to a zip archive that contains all the game images)
- Game image to start
- Machine Type (PAL or NTSC)
- True Drive Emulation required (yes or no)
- Joystick Port Nr (1 or 2)
I could even think of more data, like vicerc-settings that could be imported before the game is started (this way, you could define the ideal key mappings for a game). The possibilities are endless ... ;-)
Building such a database is quite some effort though and it has to be an ongoing effort because the author is planning to continously extend the c64-dreams game list.
Maybe someone is up for the job?
Your gamebase64 database file seems to be corrupted - delete file /3ds/vice3DS-C64/default/gb64.db on your SD card and download again. Or if everything fails, just delete the whole /3ds/vice3DS-C64 directory ...I seem to be having some trouble running Gamebase64. I download it, and then I get a message saying "Cannot read gamebase64 database." Any suggestions?
could you create an empty file called /3ds/vice3DS-C64/default/vice.log, start vice3DS again and post the errors in this file after trying to open gamebase64?Ok. I've already re-downloaded it, so I'll try replacing the folder.
