@AwesomeKingClem don't remove your posts, makes the replies you got seem out of place and breaks the topics. That's not how a forum works.

@yserra Hmm, shoot. I wonder if I have a greater issue. I did as you instructed for the C64 and the keyboard is still having the same issues. FWIW, the same issue exists when I connect a straight up PC USB keyboard. I also notice the Scoll lock made no difference.. then again I test that after I edited the cfg, so maybe it doesn't work because I set it to "nul".

@10vorne you got me on that one.

Yes, the sound issue is a known thing on vice64. I found it when I tried to run Dino Eggs and Beachhead II. It was missing certain effects and voice sounds. Like you, I kept screwing with settings until I found it.

I don't know what's causing the other issue. If F7 works in Bruce Lee, it's not lr-vice. Perhaps it's just how lr-vice is interacting with 7cities?

Try Beachhead II. That's another one that you need function key input to start the game. If it works, you don't need to remap anything.

@mitu Hmm, that booted up with a Super CPU bootscreen, but then just did the same as running in lr-vice (testing it with Metal Dust, which goes through the intro then gets to an options screen then just dumps you back to the C64 OS when you hit Return to start the game, whichever options you choose).

i went through a lot of the keys and the one that finally worked is Tab (RETROK_TAB). so i guess Tab is the C= key for me. thanks.

@ashpool LOL -- great minds think alike! I tried the virtual keyboard, too, and it works PERFECTLY! For some reason, S, Z, and a couple of other keys don't work on the hardware keyboard, but honesty as long as everything works on the virtual keyboard, I don't mind.

Thanks for helping me figure this out! Off to save Skara Brae...!

So it's a libretro core? Can't you just map it in the Retroarch menu (hotkey+X -> controls -> port 1 controls), or do I misunderstand?

@jamrom2 said in Quick question about lr-vice:

Do you still have vice loaded? Did you try Vic 20 games in that?

Yes. It's completely messed up. Most of my games were saved as snapshots to avoid endless messing around with RAM settings etc, and the new one has completely wrecked the snapshot format so none of them work. Cartridges don't work either.

@buzz said in RetroPie Setup only installs lr-Vicex64:

@windale You can use the module from the PR on github.

Thanks, the script works great. Feel free to add it. Although wouldn't it be better as separate scripts per core instead of force installing all of them and increasing the source install time ? I suppose up-to-date binaries would be OK.

@cmftblynu Thanks for replying. I tried everything but that. It makes sense as the resources to run vice are pretty high on a Pi.

At any rate, I figured out how to disk swap in lr-vice, so I'm sticking with that. After all is said and done, that was the goal. I only used Vice because it ran so well for so long and I knew my way around it really well.

Now that lr-vice64 is up to speed and supported well, I'm going to stick with it.

I even went to far as to tweak the background image by TreyM to look more like my room and desk did back in 1984. Lol.

Thanks again,

I figured it out.

It was under "Experimental" modules.

Just remembered the c64 had different colors between pal and ntsc changed the default to ntsc on vice now it matches my memory.

still not sure why the letter s acts up on a physical keyboard in lr-vice

Several issues. My spashscreen video during a reboot slowed to a crawl. Also, several emulators just run at a craw as well. Also, lost all my Stella mapping settings.

No worries, I will just use vice. I just miss the ability to set game specific settings as I would with an lr core.

Thanks for your help as always.

@Twerkem It was fixed a little while ago, that's why I asked to update the script again, there was nothing wrong with your setup/configuration.

Try resetting the retroarch.cfg - the global configuration file - in \\retropie\configs\all. Replace it with the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist from the same folder.
However, if you used a remap/input override, this won't help.
