Need help with WinVice (Commodore 64)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Trying to set up WinVICE for Commodore 64 in GameEx - so far I've got it working no problems for 1 file/1 disk games, but havin some trouble with 2 discs...

I explain where I'm up to so far (it's so damn close :( )

Using a Map file with the following...

-8 Last_Ninja_2_Side_A.d64 -9 Last_Ninja_2_Side_B.d64|The Last Ninja 2

(spaces can't be used in any filenames)

and this in the command line...

Command=x64 [RomFile]

it will show only one name in GameEx, but it loads 2 files - disc side a into drive 8, and side b into drive 9.

(I have the disc files sitting in the winvice folder to for it to work too)

The game will load up no problems and play through until I get to swap to disk side b, but winvice will try to load side b from drive 8, not drive 9, so the game crashes. I can see when winvice loads, that the command line is working, and that disc side b is definitely attached to drive 9.

If I manually attach side b to drive 8 at the point swapping disks, it'll work fine.

Obviously this is just a winVice thing not GameEx, but being unfamiliar with WinVice, hopefully someone here can help me out. There's a heap of command line options for winvice which I'll attach below...

Winvice and all docs are available from here...

http://www.viceteam.org/

here's my config if anyone wants it too (i'll upload a 1 disc only config sometime soon too as it's a bit easier than using the map files etc)...

[Emulator_9]

Enabled=True
STARTPAGENAME=Commodore 64
TITLETEXT=Commodore 64
StartPageLogo=c64
ROMFilter=
RomsInFolders=False
RomPath=C:\Emulation\ROMs\Commodore 64\Repeats for GameEx\
SnapPath=
WorkingPath=C:\Emulation\Emulators\C64\WinVICE-1.15
MapKeys=True
WaitBeforeKeys=
SendKeys=
ReplaceDash=False
ReplaceUnder=True
Capitals=True
RemoveBrackets=True
ShowDesktop=True
Debug=True
MAPFile=C:\Emulation\ROMs\Commodore 64\Repeats for GameEx\c64.map
AlsoLaunch=
Command=x64 [RomFile]
OLDatZip=

you'll need to type LOAD"*",8,1 (or the actual keys LOAD@]@,8,1 on pc) to run it once in winvice. There's is a "-autostart" command for winvice, but I'm having some trouble with this. It works on one disc, but having trouble on 2.

hopefully someone can take this a bit further (or has already done it). I'm pretty much stuck here. Only started using command lines a few days ago after I came across the awesome GameEx.

cheers.
