Hi Mad,

As usual I have really to thank you for your help on this. Unfortunately my knowledge of script coding is really poor and I know I am bothering you with that :roll:

So thanks again for your patience :)
By the way could you repost your script out of a quotation window as I am getting some weird characters which will corrupt the whole script :( when I copy and paste it on a Text Page.

Use Notepad++ instead of notepad/wordpad.

Hi Retroplay,

I am on a Mac so copy/pasting with TextEdit before moving to the Cab Machine under XP.

I see, I suspect it's an "end of line" issue.

As a last resort you could try and install Notepad++ on your XP cab (sucks I know) and convert the text or perhaps there is a txt editor for Mac that allows Windows format conversion ?

If you decide to try it in Notepad++ then open the txt file and click Edit in dropdown menu then EOL Conversion\Windows Format.

This has saved me a lot of trouble when I have to transfer txt/source files between Windows and Linux.

Hi Retroplay and Mad,

OK with Notepad ++ the script is good and working. 8)

The C16/plus4 gamebase is now set and working but strangely I had sound at the first try and then now I am lacking sound on all games. I have played with the SID settings of SDL Vice and tried to restore settings but no sound at all now. :?:

Hi MAd,

Thank you again those added script lines solved the problem now sound is recovered :)
Anyway music and sound fx are really crap compared to the C64, they sound very scratchy with lags sometimes but I think this is the behavior of the TED Chip.

SDL VICE Commodore 64 SCRIPT

Fri Nov 11, 2016 7:23 pm

Dear MAd,

I would like to complete the serie and have the C64 emulation done with the SDL Vice as I have now for VIC-20 and C16/Plus4. I have created a script by copying the one used for the C16 and replacing any PLUS4 with C64. Unfortunately games are not loaded. I am using the V13 C64 gamebase pack. I assume that the C16 command line parameters are somehow different from the one that should be used for the C64.

Here below a copy of the modified script I have tried. It is based from your own script for the PLUS4/C16.

Any chance to guide me for a working SDL scrip for the C64? :?:

Try starting with the normal C64 WinVICE script.

Altering Plus4 and Vic20 command scripts will never work.
check your PM.

Hi Retroplay,

Please can you upload SDL2VICE-3.3-win32 with all the correct DLL files. :wink:

Thanks.

Check my link above.
FFMPEG is disabled, it keeps crapping out with no C compiler present for some strange reason when doing a 32-bit compile. :x

Anyway, FFMPEG is bugged in the 64-bit build, if you choose anything but FFV1 and lossless PCM it'll crash VICE.
