[Announce] VICE for N900 - maemo.org

Barfly · #1 2010-03-24, 05:37

Hi,

I am happy to announce that my port of VICE is available in extras-devel.

It is tested *only* on N900, might work on other Maemo's as well.

Few words before you go:
-Application is in extras-devel, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
-Only Commodore64 (x64) emulation is tested, others (xvic,x128 etc) are also available from terminal
-Tap screen to get into control menu
-Fn key does not work in emulation
-Sound is unstable, you might get buffer overflow or similar error, re-enable sound from menu->sound settings->sound (*)

Wow! That's awesome Barfly!

Back in the day, I made some pretty fun games using 6502 assembly language but all those were stored on tape and I'll probably never see them again.

But hey, I always get sentimental when I can revisit some of the old classic electronics I owned in the past.

Good job!

You made no mention to what tablet this supports.

Is it too late to say that this is only good for us Diablo users?

@Addison

It *should* work at least on N810.

ps. good luck in finding those tapes

Dang. I'm that drunk already?

I didn't even see the word "N900" in your thread.

Honestly, I wouldn't even have the first clue as how to transfer those tapes to a Windows PC.

But yeah, I'll give this a try sometime tomorrow. Sounds like it could be a blast reliving the past!

Many thanks!

Current version in extras-devel doesnt seem to work

Meanwhile you can use the version found in http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...el/vice/2.2.0/
