@RumblinBuffalo Thanks again - I'll look at updating retroarch shortly. Although I'm concerned after reading that thread that it will remove/reset all my IPAC keyboard controller mappings, which took me a long time to get right initially.

@mitu OK sorry, i though there was something else to add, thanks! :)

ha, i just figured it out - in the Disk Control option in the retroarch menu (select+x), if i select Disk Cycle Tray Status it ejects the current disk, then i select Disk Image Append and i can select the .d64 file for the next disk! it appears the .m3u functionality isn't needed (or doesn't work anyway).

@renepela confirming lr-vice problems too, build fail on linux mint 19.3 x64 (RetroPie 4.6)

@mitu I just tried and caps lock key seems not to work

@quicksilver

That's good advice. I have two cards that I alternate between when it's time to upgrade. It's intended as insurance to protect my time, but I've never actually had to go back to a previous card. As far as the difficulty of upgrading is concerned, I run 33 systems in RetroPie that are highly customized, as well as dual boot into an equally customized OSMC and it only ever takes about 30-40 minutes to upgrade and restore my settings back to where they were. Granted, even that amount of time can be hard to come by during a hectic week, but that's why God invented Sundays... well, you know, that and all the praising, but I doubt he's ever smited anyone for catching up on a little computer maintenance all the same.

Has anyone managed to make Cartridges work for Vic-20? With Vice there is the possibility to add the -cartgeneric parameter, but I tried with lr-vice and it doesn't work.

@j-e-f-f I've never used the libretro one but for the standard vice I had to change the keyboard from symbolic to positional, not sure if that will help in your case as I don't recall having your issue but my other issues were solved with this change.

@dudleydes That's great information too. Thanks.

@mitu Thank you for your help looking into this! I have no idea how to add compilation flags and had hoped to avoid needing to use a fresh image of 4.4 (I know its not that big a chore or anything) but if that's the only option I'll just leave lr-vice off the pi for now. Thanks again mate, much appreciated.

Hey thanks guys this really works with lr-vice!

I can map several keys to my retropad (I use a PS3 sisaxis), including the joystick swap and the virtual keyboard. I mapped Y,N,1,2,return,space,F!. Here is my configuration as an example (in the retroarch options menu):

show mapping options: on
hotkey toggle virtual: keyboard retrok_f11
hotkey switch joyports: retrok_rshift
retropad select: toggle vkbd
retropad start: retrok_rshift
retropad b: --- (=fire)
retropad a: retrok_return
retropad y: retrok_space
retropad x: retrok_f1
retropad L: retrok_1
retropad R: retrok_y
retropad L2: retrok_2
retropad R2: retrok_n

Also, if you have trouble inputting some letters in text-based games (like A or S), you must chose "physical keyboard pass-through: on" and everything will be OK.

Yeah, lr-vice virtual keyboard is flawed, it seems an hit or miss, game sensitive. On older version there was no way to activate cursor, so better than nothing.
It is better to use usb keyboard for sure.

@douga Pi Model 3
Power Supply used: 5V
RetroPie Version Used 4.4
USB Devices connected: IPac2, Sanwa joystick

@ncc74656m Unfortunately, I did not.

Hmm ok thanks.
After fiddling with it a while, I was able to get a good controller mapping in stand-alone vice.

@mediamogul said in Vice rom options for a specific game?:

Thank you!

In case anyone else stumbles across this. The issue appears to be resolved with the latest update. I updated from source today and my mouse cursor is functional and visable now in lr-vice.
