Vice rom options for a specific game?

[johnny5126]

All the roms that I have for Vice work great, except for a rom called jingledisk which need to load "jingle",8 instead of "*",8. I know Vice for windows allows you to specifiy how to load a specific rom, but for Raspberry Pi I dont see how I can do this. Can I?

Assuming you're using the 'vice-x64' launch command, you should be able to add something like:

vice-x64-jingle = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh x64 'path/to/ROM.ext:jingle'"

to /opt/retropie/configs/c64/emulators.cfg. Afterward, you would just need to select 'vice-x64-jingle' as the ROM-specific option from the Runcommand window when launching the game.

The vice.sh script is really throwing me off here. I believe it attempts to unarchive a ROM if need be, but I'm not sure. For the above to work, I think the ROM would need to be unarchived already.

But will this tell Vice to load "jingle",8 instead of load "*",8 when I choose it from the list of roms?

In theory, the 'path/to/ROM.ext:jingle' should tell Vice to load a program named 'jingle' from the disk file that is being launched, which is effectively what "jingle",8 is intended to do as well.
