Lr-Vice - Can't get games to run & installation issues

@tuki_cat - I checked this morning, and it looks like its working for me now too! Thanks a lot.
I tried to run Uridium which loaded without any problems now. 'Joystick up' seems to pause the game, but thats another issue! I'll have a play about with the config when I have more time to play.
Thanks again guys.

@ZX81 - glad it is working.
It is helpful that you have posted about the joystick up being pause, I found this last night. I also tested with a keyboard and the "up" key also has the same effect and pauses the game.
Looking at this - https://github.com/libretro/vice-libretro/issues/15 it appears that "up" is assigned to run/stop.
One way around this is to use the retroarch file to map the controls to the second joystick on your picade (assuming it has one). I am going to do this later to test it works on mine.
I'll raise the issue on the above thread regarding "up" being run/stop to see if there is a way around it.

@tuki_cat - Interesting!
Unfortunately the Picade only has one joystick (assuming you are talking about physical stick). Sorry pretty new to all this, so just finding my way.
Its great that the lr-Vice emu is still being worked on. It'll be great playing all the old favorites once I can get it working.

@zx81 I haven't had any luck with the run/stop key being set to up in lr-Vice, but I have spent some time with the standalone version of Vice and I have worked out how to map the controls to a IPAC or Picade. Once I have finished messing around with it and setting things up I'll write a short guide for anyone else who wishes to set up IPAC/Picade controls on Vice. I'll probably write it sometime over the weekend.

@tuki_cat - that would be a great help. I'm struggling with config for normal Vice, and lr-Vice still isn't playing nice. I don't seem to be able to tab to get into the menu, so can't even attempt to reconfigure any keys on lr-Vice.

@zx81 you dont use tab. You use the retroarch gui. Press your hotkey which should be select + x.

@edmaul69 Hi, for some reason I just can't change it, it must be hardcoded. Because the a keyboard encoder is essentially a real keyboard it is reading the inputs a real key presses rather than joystick directions. As the "up" key is bound as RUN/STOP it makes it impossible to use the joystick unless I change the IPAC settings, but this then means I have to reconfig the controls for all the other emulators on my system.
They may be a way around it by changing the keymap file for the C64, I may mess around with this and see how I get on. In the meantime I have done a short guide for ZX81 if he wants to try using the standalone version of Vice.

@tuki_cat - Hi! So sorry, I have only just seen your post. I'm still struggling with LR-Vice. I keep refreshing it in the hope that one day it might work. I would very much like to see your guide to setting up the normal Vice. I may have better luck with that!
Do you have a link please?

Found it! Looks great. I'll give it a try and let you know how I go on. Thanks very much, its really very kind of you to help.
