Hola a todos,
   el pasado 20 de diciembre del 2018 apareció la última versión del Emu: 3.3
 
Mejoras de la 3.3 (http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/NEWS):

This release stabilizes and introduces the GTK3 UI as the primary user interface
for all major ports. For "lesser" platforms we still have the SDL1/SDL2 based
interface. All other user interfaces have been removed. RIP

We are still looking for dedicated maintainers for the Windows- and macOS ports,
if you want to help improving these and/or want to provide binaries, please get
in touch.

** General
----------

- Old, unmaintained, ports removed:
  * MacOS Cocoa: use SDL or Gtk3
  * WinVice: use SDL or Gtk3
  * BeOS/Haiku: use SDL
  * AmigaOS: use SDL
  * Unix Xaw: use SDL or Gtk3
  * Unix Gtk2: use SDL or Gtk3
  * OS/2: use SDL

- Fix building against external ffmpeg >= 4.0

- Fix errors in multi-SID code

- added single SNES pad emulation (compatible to Ninjas adapter/TrapThem64)

- Make VICE much faster by using -O3 vs -O2

- add a slot number before the literal name of a game-controller, which is less
  confusing when more than one controller of the same type is used

- fix parsing of the commandline with -config first

- added dutch to list of keyboard mappings

 
** Unix fixes
-------------

- the sleep function was not handling timer overflows properly, which happens
  every 4 seconds on a 32bit machine with nanosleep()

- Split ReSID resource into 6581/8580-specific resources (passthrough/gain/bias)
- various envelope generator fixes
- use different timing on 6581/8580 for noise register reset when testbit is set

- instead of limiting disassembler output to a number of bytes, limit it to the
  height of the current terminal

** C128 changes
---------------

- Autostart fixes

  * Show directory of currently attached disk image
  * Add menu shortcut to the drive settings UI

  warp and pause/advance frame

- Add popup menu to the joystick widget to allow swapping joysticks and
  userport joysticks, add shortcut menu item to joystick settings UI

- Add cartridge content preview to the cart-attach dialog
  (x64/x64sc/xscpu64/x128)

- Dynamically load CBM font

- Don't allow the mouse cursor to 'escape' during mouse grab

  in all ports

** SDL UI
---------

- Add toggle button in x128 for the Go64Mode

- ignore 'dotfiles' in the fileselector on *nix

- added browsing inside disk and tape images.

- added pageup/pagedown/home/end key mappings, and support them in the menus,
  file-selector and text viewer

- Terminal- or UI based monitor can be selected at runtime in all ports

- added a hack to get rid of spurious keyup/keydown events after switching
  from/to fullscreen
 
- generate suitable fonts for the ui at startup, use some custom gfx for the ui.
  fixes the problem that the ui chars will screw up when the user selects a
  japanese chargen
 
- when changing color- or crt emulation settings, print a color matrix on screen
  and update the resources in realtime
 
- UI cosmetics:
  - fix slider length, use custom chars for slider
  - make screen all black before entering the UI
  - added basic default window icon
  - fix display of literal key names for SDL2

- major rework of SDL2 video renderer to work natively with all supported
  graphics acceleration technologies (OpenGL ES, DX11, Metal, etc). Fullscreen
  support and resized windows now preserve aspect ratio properly on any screen
  size.

- SDL2 now respects "GL" filter mode. As a bonus it does so even when the
  renderer is not OpenGL.


** VSID (Gtk3)
--------------

- Add drag'n'drop support
- Add HVSC support:
    * Support SLDB
    * Support STIL

- Página del proyecto
- descargas

Ahora bien!, en windows han cambiado el interfaz. Ahora sólo se compila utilizando GTK (el fichero de descarga ha cambiado ha llamarse GTK3VICE).
Y bien, aunque está bien el cambio, tengo dos pegas grandes:
- El ejecutable se lanza con una ventana de cmd...tengo que verificar si con en la recre esta ventana "se puede ocultar"
- No doy con una manera "fácil" de hacer un "Autostart" de un juego! Esto si que es bloqueante!
- Oficialmente no existe versión para x64...esta si que es buena...¿En que siglo viven? (extra oficialmente SI se puede encontrar: GTK3VICE-3.3-win64-r36866-svg-loader-test.zip)

¿Alguién ha probado esta versión y resuelto estos problemas?

[Josepzin]

Yo la he probado hace un tiempo pero paso de liarme, me he quedado en la 3.1

Igual me la descargo para ir probandola.

[arquillos]

Pues he  econtrado una versión con SDL2 que funciona muy bien...

- SDL2VICE-3.3-win64-r36990.7z

[Josepzin]

Buenisimo, esta versión SDL sí que me gusta mucho!

[Josepzin]

Estuve probando y el comando -autostart no funciona pero asi directo parece que si:

x64.exe "C:\Juegos\Commodore\C64\c64/Abbaye Des Morts.d64"
x64.exe "C:\Juegos\Commodore\C64\c64/Alter Ego.crt"

[arquillos]

Gracias!
Había empezado a trastear desde el GUI...y al ver que no traía el comando me asusté

PD: Vaya comportamiento más raro...desde el GUI no se puede, pero desde línea de comandos (la cuál usará el menor número de usuarios),sí...¡¡¡¡!!!!

[Josepzin]

Es que parece que lo han cambiado y para mejor. Desde AtractMode yo tenía un .BAT que detectaba si el archivo es un cartucho .CRT asi le pasaba el parametro correspondiente del AUTOLOAD, asi como tambien parametro de FULLSCREEN, ahora parece que todo eso no va mas o al menos las pruebas que hice yo, si hay algo más no arranca.

Tampoco me hagas mucho caso, porque fue un rato que le dediqué ayer.

El caso es que al menos la versión SDL 3.3 se puede llamar directamente como puse antes.

Y mola mil la interfaz!! me refiero a la version SDL.
