Vice 2.0 (25 Jul 2008) Released

[paul_nicholls]

every time I shut down the X64 emulator (as far back as I can remember), it seems to take close to a minute (just a guess mind you, never timed) to get back to the main GP2X menu (or GMenu2X menu).

I just tested it out on my F200, and X64 returns to the menu in less than a second for me.


Strange...on mine, after executing the exit Vice menu option, vice2x menu and everything just freezes for that large amount of time before the normal/GMenu2X menu returns

I'm using a F100-MkII with the first firmware (2.0.0) I believe. I had to downgrade (from 2.1.0?) to get my cradle working with USB game pad...

The large pause has happened to me on all the firmware versions I have tried so to date.

cheers,
Paul



Does anyone else have this issue at all?

no

can you test it with a different SD card? and if you still experience this issue send me the vice_log.txt file (that is created inside vice folder).

Does anyone else have this issue at all?

I found it would crash on exit if I was using gmenu2x. though that was on the old version.

Hi GnoStiC,
I don't have another SD card to test with unfortunately

I have attached the vice_log.txt file below in case it helps.

Do you suspect it perhaps could be the SD card making it slow to do the remount stuff in the "x64.gpe" file script (see below)?

CODE
#!/bin/bash

export PATH=.PATH
mount /mnt/sd -o remount,sync
./x64 -directory data/c64:data/drives -sidengine 0 -refresh 2 &>vice_log.txt
#dmesg>dmesg.txt
rm -f tmp/*
mount /mnt/sd -o remount,async

cd /usr/gp2x
exec ./gp2xmenu


cheers,
