I'm not sure the actual C64 saved highscores. I don't remember mine doing so.

Best bet would be to do a save-state and load from there.

I don't believe hot-keys work for save-states because vice is not a librettro emulator.

You might be able to press Alt-S on a keyboard to save, but I have not tried it yet.

****** SOLVED: *******
In Vice i used "reset settings to defaults" and now Tape-Images are loading!
But i am afraid to say the "save settings" option is not really reliable/stable (i can "save" changes of my settings - but at the next start the changes are gone... Have to check that now....

@mediamogul sweet, thank you.

@seeker

I'm having exactly the same issues as you were in getting the USB Gamepad to work in the vice C64 emulator. Which port configuration worked for you when using a Gamepad and keyboard?

Thanks

Adam.

@BuZz Yep, now it works.
Thanks you.

@rufus

I take it that you posted a ROM download rather than a patch file. Whenever you get a patch going, I hope you'll repost. I'm a pretty big Giana fan and this hack looks like quite a challenge.

not sure if you ever got an answer but i've been playing with this recently. change the SID emulation to the SID (fast) and then it goes like a rocket. if using a pi 1 or zero I'd also advise turning off the scanlines. I get 50fps on a pi zero with no sound issues. I get about 37fps with the scanlines and as you describe only a few fps with the default SID settings

Thank you for reply.

Got it working! :) Thanks!

@BuZz I think I sussed it out. I have the Refresh Rate set to 1/1, this gives perfect scrolling but on some SID tunes the sound starts to pop and cut out. If I set the Refresh Rate to Auto then the audio is fine but the scrolling jerks. You must be in jerky scrolling mode. A SID tune that can demonstrate this popping is 'Cauldron', not a great tune but a good example.

@Neo-Rio Thats the thing - my joypad works fine in ES, but even after setting them up in Vice itself they still don't work. Guess i could always just 'start again' - any idea what Vice-specific files i need to delete to clear the config?

@douga There's a very famous solution that's been around for a long time called Keyrah, you can check it out here http://www.vesalia.de/e_keyrahv2.htm . I know the C64 runs quite well on VICE but because it's such a famous machine there are better solutions around in FPGA if your life depends on a good modern version of the C64 in your original case. No real need to software emulate this one.

@MadRikXIV Yes, I never really put money in arcade games, that was an expensive pastime - 30 seconds play and then it was, "Right then, that'll be another 50p please". All I had to do was wait 30 years for MAME :D

I have the same problem (same ALSA error initializing Vice) with Hifiberry DAC+ Standard, but it seems that I only have one sound module. I was hoping somebody could hint a solution because everything works except Vice (and it is my favourite computer)

If I type

cat /proc/asound/modules

I get

0 snd_soc_hifiberry_dacplus

The rest of my configs:

etc/asound.conf

pcm.!default {
type hw card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw card 0
}

@edmaul69 Thanks mate, I will give it a go 😀👏👍

@messyraverbaby exactly what @buzz said. You have to press fire on joystick. I have both joysticks programmed to the same controller but i did seperate fire buttons (allows you to play two button games properly) but i had to go into machine settings-->joystick settings-->swap joysticks. You can also put the swap joystick to a button but i forgot where i found that setting
