      @jamrom2 I'm trying to figure this one out again. I'm upgrading my setup to 4.5.1 (clean image) and am having some trouble with VICE. When last I worked on this (Retropie image 4.1), I was able change the SID from FastSID to one of the ReSID modes in order to get the sounds of certain C64 games to emulate properly (the talking in Space Taxi is my example).

      Now, trying to setup VICE (installed from Binary) in 4.5.1 and for some reason I reproduce the same results. With default settings I am able to load and play the game smoothly (using FastSID), but with subpar sound effects. Changing the SID mode to any other option results in a change to the machine choice ??? (C64C-PAL appears to be the default) and with any change to the machine type, the emulator becomes slow and choppy (even after a restart).

      Has anyone encountered this with a newer version? It should have been as easy as changing the FastSID to one of the reSID modes as I recall before, but it seems to not be working.
