Set WinVice automatic to use drive 1581 by using d81-file

[eagle]

Is there a way to change the drive automatic in Vice by using d81-files....
I have include some d81 over "Extras" in the Gamebase. The way to change the drive to 1581 and then to 1541 and so one is not optimal.
If there was a way - how can i do this.
Thanks for help

The script that comes with the GB64 v15 collection, already does that if the Game File is D81.

If GameType CONTAINS(d80||d81||d82)
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\vice.ini||C64||FSDevice8Dir||"%gamepath%")
Set_INI_Value(%emupath%\vice.ini||C64||Drive8Type||1581)
End If

might be missing the check with the file being in the EXTRAS??

you could also use the command line and GEMUS.

add this before the run_emulator

if key_drive CONTAINS(d81)
Add_CLP ( -drive8type 1581)
else
Add_CLP ( -drive8type 1541)
end if

Run_Emulator()
---------

then use GEMUS on the EXTRAS entry to store the key...
drive=1581

Thanks mad.
I will test it tomorrow.

Hi mad
i have it checked
in my WinVice.txt ist this:
---------------------------------------------------
If GameType CONTAINS(d80||d81||d82)

Set_INI_Value(1||C64||FSDevice8Dir||"%gamepath%")
Set_INI_Value(1||C64||Drive8Type||1581)

If Key_maxdrives CONTAINS(2||3||4)
If NumGameFiles > 1
Add_CLP2( -9 "%gamepathfile(1)%")
Set_INI_Value(1||C64||FSDevice9Dir||"%gamepath%")
Set_INI_Value(1||C64||Drive9Type||1581)
End If
End If
If Key_maxdrives CONTAINS(3||4)
If NumGameFiles > 2
Add_CLP2( -10 "%gamepathfile(2)%")
Set_INI_Value(1||C64||FSDevice10Dir||"%gamepath%")
Set_INI_Value(1||C64||Drive10Type||1581)
End If
End If
If Key_maxdrives CONTAINS(4)
If NumGameFiles > 3
Add_CLP2( -11 "%gamepathfile(3)%")
Set_INI_Value(1||C64||FSDevice11Dir||"%gamepath%")
Set_INI_Value(1||C64||Drive11Type||1581)
End If
End If
End If
------------------------------------------------
I dont have "%emupath%\vice.ini"

If i use my WinVICE.txt with Winvice 3.2 and d64 or d81 i become an error

Must i changed all "1" in the Set-line in my WinVICE.txt to "%emupath%\vice.ini"?

The error you have.
The script can not find the VICE.INI.
The INI file is missing or you have the incorrect emulator path set in the emulators.ini.

(%emupath%\vice.ini|| is the fool proof way of typing (1||

The (1|| refers to the full path to the vice.ini set in the Emulators.ini
if the 1= line is blank or missing, it will not work.

[WinVICE v3.1 x86]
UseShortFilenames=1
SupportedTypes=D64;D80;T64;TAP;PRG;g64
EmulatorPathFile=C:\GameBase\GBC_v15\Emulators\WinVICE-3.1-x86\x64.exe
ScriptFile=WinVICE30.txt
1=C:\GameBase\GBC_v15\Emulators\WinVICE-3.1-x86\vice.ini

newer versions of VICE 3.1.+ create an almost empty vice.ini
you will probably need to copy the vice.ini from the v2.4 folder to the 3.2 one.

also try replacing the 'Drive Type' SET_INI lines with Add_CLP ones to use the command-line...

Code: Select all

    If GameType CONTAINS(d80||d81||d82)
       
        Add_CLP( -fs8 "%gamepath%")
         Add_CLP( -drive8type 1581)
        
       If Key_maxdrives CONTAINS(2||3||4) 
        If NumGameFiles > 1
         Add_CLP2( -9 "%gamepathfile(1)%")
         Add_CLP( -fs9 "%gamepath%")
         Add_CLP( -drive9type 1581)
        End If
       End If
      If Key_maxdrives CONTAINS(3||4)
        If NumGameFiles > 2
         Add_CLP2( -10 "%gamepathfile(2)%")
         Add_CLP( -fs10 "%gamepath%")
         Add_CLP( -drive10type 1581)
        End If
      End If  
       If Key_maxdrives CONTAINS(4)
        If NumGameFiles > 3
         Add_CLP2( -11 "%gamepathfile(3)%")
         Add_CLP( -fs11 "%gamepath%")
         Add_CLP( -drive11type 1581)
        End If
       End If
    End If

ok, i will do that

Works but only with Winvice 2.4 (d64 and d81)
In the versions 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 returns both with error

You just need to enable a virtual device (disk drive).
They are all switched off as default in new WinVICE

add this to TOP of script.

Set_INI_Value(1||C64||VirtualDevices||1)

;set SID to 6581 - default is "1" 8580 (no speech in Impossible Mission)
Set_INI_Value(1||C64||SidEngine||0)
Set_INI_Value(1||C64||SidModel||0)

and why nobody say it

OK thanks mad

Yesterday d81 not work with your entries for virtual drive and today it works. I've only activate the "True drive emulation" in the settings.
Is this the result for working d81?

So mad - im happy

Thanks for your great help. You are a tree in this forum

[.mad.]

and why nobody say it

I suppose because VICE 3.0 came out after the release of gamebase 64 v15.
And older working emulators were supplied with the release.

Hopefully v16 will have working scripts for newer VICE.

I've only activate the "True drive emulation" in the settings.
Is this the result for working d81?

Yes, True Drive Emultion needs to be on for most extended disk formats (G64, D81).
You can turn it on from the Extras GEMUS entry (see pic above)

Glad you got it working.
