C64 problem on 4.1.0 unstable

[Substring]

@treacle should work on the second launch. The C64 was an external contribution, relies on SDL1, i didn't have time yet to b*mp it to SDL2

What you should do : kill the vice process with SSH, then try again, i think it works

[treacle]

@Substring Thanks, will try that later. have several other issues with the current unstable build. Is there a thread where they can all be posted?

[Substring]

@treacle I should write one

Can you explain how to do this to a n00b? Is there a chance this problem will be solved in the next update?

Thank you!

[Substring]

@Stonejackit by ssh run killall vice
The update will cole in an uograde, no eta yet

[Stonejackit]

@Substring yeah, but where can i type it in? can i get a prompt while in the recalbox GUI?
oh, ok, i just learned from a collegue what SSH is. Thanks a lot!

@Stonejackit https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Root-access-on-terminal-(EN)
Download putty, no need to specify an IP, just type recalbox
login : root
password : recalboxroot
(don't be afraid, no ***** when typing the password)

@Substring thanks substring!

@substring Vice is no more built for the moment. No binary is included in current 4.1 version.

[Stonejackit]

@rockaddicted So does that mean, there's no C64 support right now? This was actually the reason i upgraded to 4.1 in the first place. can you estimate when it's gonna be reimplimented?

thank you.

[Substring]

@Stonejackit re-enabling vice shouldn't be "that" hard, but :

• the integration is not good yet (half done external contribution ...)
• there are mor urgent matters to solve before

But don't worry, i could start it on my dev recalbox. Should take a few days/week to make it available

[Stonejackit]

@Substring thanx for clarifying! i'll be patient then ^^

Hi,
Just to see if there has been any progress with Vice?

[rockaddicted]

@RustyMG nope

[RustyMG]

@Substring @rockaddicted What about now, lol ?
In all seriousness though, any development in the C64 emulation side?

[Hoduken]

There is a VICE libretro core available, no problem at all to compile it to recalbox supported architectures (rpi, x86/x64, odroid).

[Substring]

The libretro core is the best option I guess

@Hoduken yep it is in the to do list, but can't be everywhere.
