WinVice questions

[Ilwrath]

Hmm...  Doesn't seem like that should be happening...  It played fine on my old Athlon 1.1ghz, and my new P4/3.0ghz, both with XP (WinVice 1.14 binary) and Linux (Vice 1.14 from source tarball).

Can you enable the fps and proc speed info and see what's happening with the frame rate and emulation speed?  Maybe its an emulation issue of some kind?  Is there a recording option you may have enabled by accident?

Also, Vice likes to default to PAL modes.  If you're trying to play an NTSC C64 game, timing might come up wrong.  Try forcing NTSC?  (shrug)

There are also some DirectX options in the WinVice program that could bog down the emulation if you don't have them set properly for your video card.  (That was kind of why I was asking if it was dropping frames, or if the emulated processor was slowing, or what was happening.)

You folks might want to try the latest "CCS 64", as well.  I grabbed it yesterday, and I'm liking what I've seen, so far.  (CCS was always my favorite, but it was getting rather outdated.  CCS 3.0 beta 1.4 seems like a pretty good improvement!)

CCS Homepage -- Nevermind the rather harsh website.  Download the emulator!  You won't regret it.  ;-)
