Huge thanks to J-RED for another excellent skin!


Features :

- Excellent compatibility - ported from Vice

- Loads disk images, tape images, cartridges

- USB Keyboard support

- ZIP support

- Cheat system - Search/Create your own cheat codes (see notes)

- Favorites list

- Netplay

- Resizable game screen

- 480p, 720p, 1080i support

- Skin-able :
   - Backgrounds
   - Sounds
   - Background Music
   - Sprites
   - Text position (right/left/center, top/bottom/center)
   - Text color, select bar color
   - Font
   - Fading speed
   - Screenshot position
   - Can specify 2 sprites to surround the selected menu option
   - Option to have a transparent select-bar color (from select-color menu)
   - Can flip sprites horizontally/vertically
   - Can set motion_x and motion_y variables for sprites
   - Sprites can loop continuously or just once
   - If you want to change the way something looks in this new UI,
     chances are that you can change it via the Configuration menu.

- Save Game management - delete save game files

- Samba/NetBIOS sharing support (read roms from your PC)

- Relax Network Sharing (read roms from your PC)

- Play MP3 or M3U playlists in the background
  (Can also read MP3/M3U from across Samba/Relax shares.)

- User definable save directory.  If you don't like the default of
  E:SAVESVICE64X you can change it via the VICE64X.INI file

- Take in-game screenshots and display them on the game selection list

- New UI feature - auto-screenshot capture mode.  When enabled, the emu
  will start taking screenshots at a user-defined interval.  Useful for
  ripping sprites/animation.

- Hardware filtering options : Point, Bilinear, Trilinear, Anisotropic

- Graphics filters :
    + 2xSai
    + Super 2xSai
    + Eagle
    + Super Eagle
    + SuperScale
    + AdvanceMame 2x
    + Simple 2x
    + 2xSai Scanline
    + Super 2xSai Scanline
    + Eagle Scanline
    + Super Eagle Scanline
    + SuperScale Scanline

- Record/Playback feature - record your gameplay in the emu and then
  play it back again.  Record up to 10 minutes of gameplay.

- Every single in-game command is fully customizable on any of the
  four joypad controllers.

- Map any emulator or UI command to a single button or a combination of
  two buttons.  (e.g. RTrigger+LTrigger = Save State)

- Autofire capabilities for any emulator button on any controller

- One-button combos (define a series of emulator commands to be played
  back when you press a user-definable XBox controller combination.)
  (E.g. Press RTrigger+LTrigger to execute the command string
  A,B,A,B,Up,Down,Left,Right)

- Traverse any directory on any drive ( Continue selecting the parent
  directory entry on the file selection list to get the drive selection
  list.  Selectable drives are C, D, E, F, R, X, Y, Z, and SMB.
  R is the CDROM drive.  SMB is the samba share you have defined in your
  VICE64X.ini file.)  Press Y from any file-listing screen to go up one
  directory level.

- All UI commands (save state, load state, screenshot, etc) can be
  invoked from the Options/Pause menu as well as in-game via your
  customized joypad mappings.

- Can be invoked from a command-line to directly run a game from a front-end
  or dashboard and bypass the user-selection screens. (Only if the frontend
  or dashboard supports this feature.)

- Can return to the launching program *if* the launching program supports this
  feature.  For example, if the custom-launch routines are incorporated into
  a new frontend, that frontend could launch VICE64X and when you exit
  VICE64X, that frontend can be automatically reloaded.  



Default ROM dir is D:C64DISKS

OMG, this rocks  beerchug.gif

Just a quick question (Not read the readme file yet  (only the one above) or downloaded the app so don's flame) but does it run Vic20 stuff like Vice.

This only plays C64 games.  Separate packages for Vic-20 and PET emulation will be available in the future.

Thanks Xport. This is really cool.

Is anyone else having trouble playing a second game once you have started emulation? For example, I'd load "test drive 01.d64" and play the game (including the necessary disk flip which works fine). When finished I'd exit to the main menu, and select another game (say "maniac mansion 01.d64"). When the emulation restarts, there is no autoboot, and the keyboard is locked out preventing a manual boot, most controller input results in a space or the number two appearing.

Dahak - no I have never had that happen here.  Are you saying that after you've played *any* game you absolutely cannot get *any* other game to automatically do a "LOAD ..." ?
