VICE C64

[Cas]

Hi


Tried Donkey Kong on the VICE C64 emulator this morning whilst sitting at work


It all loaded OK and you can choose difficulty, one or two players and start game.


Thing is I can find no in game keys to use ?

okay, there's probably 20 different DK variants for the c64 - which one? year/publisher etc etc


also - why do you need keys - is it not joystick only? Have you tried swapping ports in the options?

Hi


Sorry and thanks for the reply, no I had failed to change port setting, when I did it all worked

Luckily your embarrassment will be recorded here for all eternity.

That was the #2 cause of "joystick not working" problem on the C64. While most games worked in Port 2, some were Port 1 and all you did was switch ports. I didn't have many games that had 2-player simultaneous action. So most of the time we'd just swap.


FWIW, the #1 cause of "joystick not working" was too much Epyx Summer/Winter games and/or Decathlon.

Epyx summer games so many memories......Waggle waggle waggle waggle waggle waggle waggle waggle waggle waggle waggle waggle waggle SNAP..... so many joysticks. My dad ended up rewiring a Master System Joypad to work with the C64, just to stop me and my brother breaking them
