      After updating to VICE 3.5 my vice.log grows fast (+1mb when playing for a couple of minutes). Have tried changing alsa to sdl and vice versa, but the message keeps appearing in the log "sync is far too late".

      This is for retropie in raspberry pi 3b+ can't find good settings for this. It will be great to know if we can define NOT to log this messages.

      Info on the issue:

      SDLAudio: current driver: alsa
      SDLAudio: got proper audio spec.
      Sound: Opened device sdl', speed 44100Hz, fragment size 5.80ms, buffer size 52.24ms reSID: MOS6581, filter on, sampling rate 44100Hz - fast Warning - sync is far too late, resetting sync AUTOSTART: /tmp/retropie-archive/jumpman.d64' recognized as disk image.
      Main CPU: starting at ($FFFC).
      Main CPU: RESET.

        Modify the configuration file sdl-vicerc (found in \\retropie\configs\c64) and add

        LogFileName=""

        in the [C64] section, at the beginning of the file. See if vice.log is growing after starting a game.

          @mitu said in Vice vice.log message Warning - sync is far too late, resetting sync:

          LogFileName=""

          Hi thank you for your help. I added the line to the file, but the log still grows:

            for the moment I fixed this by : chmod a-w vice.log
            but this is not ideal as other warnings will not be recorded.

              Looks like entering an empty file name for the log doesn't work. You can set it to /dev/null with

              LogFileName=/dev/null

              and the file will not be created.
