NICE!
Vice is an awesome emulator.

Downloading now.

How well does it play DOS games?? Would it be possible to get Cisco Heat working.. hmm

 

[White Demon]

Vice is an emulator of Commodore 8 bit systems

Commodore PET, Vic 20, Plus 4, Commodore 64/128.

It does not emulate DOS. You want Dosbox for that.

Anyone else tried Wizball with Vice? It seems to pause every half a second, uping clock rate to 250Mhz makes it marginally less worse. :/

This is one of the best emulators for the GP32.

Great Job!!!

VICE has the same issue for me, and a few other people. I think it's a bug, as it happens with many games.

It has happens for me with, IIRC, GPFCE.

Got all excited then, thought you meant the GP32, not GP2x......!

Yep, same problem here when I play IK+, it's a pity cause it's a great emu otherwise.

I've been using Frodo2x and haven't tried vice yet. How does it compare to Frodo2x v0.9.9 released around early July 2006? thanks!

Has there been any progress on this great, but flawed Commodore 64 emulator? Seems to work perfect except for the intermittent sound / pausing glitches. Surely there must be a simple solution.

The c64 has the largest game library of all - I would love to see these issues get resolved with a new release. Is anyone working on this right now?

Need ... to... play... M.U.L.E....
