Vice/ C64 on Raspi 3B - how to get to settings with no keyboard?
-
Hi folks,
in the last past days I reactivated my pi3b and installed retropie on it.
I also have a collection of c64 roms and installed the vice emulator for this.I am using a wireless ps3-controller to play games.
I know that I have to change the vice-settings (machine settings) to play with the single controller. But I don't get into the vice-settings.
Instead of a keyboard, which is mentioned in most tutorials, I have the wireless ps3 controller and another wired ps3 controller connected to the pi.
In some tutorials I've read that I can get into the settings menu with hotkey & y (triangle) after I started a c64 game.
I tried every combination on my joypads but nothing happens. I even can't exit the game anymore so I have to unplug the pi to shutdown.
So is a keyboard really necessary?For comparison: I was also using vice on my ps3 and it is very easy to set up and get into the menu. I also get an overlay keyboard when im pressing the right analog stick. Are threre similar ways to to this on the pi?
Thanx in advance. -
Are you using the standalone Vice emulator (
vice) or the Libretro core (lr-vice) ? Only the latter has the gamepad combo available to get into the settings of the emulator. -
@mitu Okay - I see...I am using the "normal" vice, because it was often mentioned to use this one instead of the "lr".
So I will try this and will report
Thanxalot -

Sorry that it took a while to check. I was not at home during the holidays.
So I've installed the lr-vice emulator and using it now for playing c64-roms.But somehow I don't get it how to go to the vice-menu/ machine settings to set my wireless-controller as main-controller.
I've connected a ps3 wireless controller and another wired ps3-controller to the pi.
With the wired one I can get to the Quick Menu with hotkey/Y-Combo (in my case: PS3-button and triangle).
But from there I can't find anything like "machine settings".I've figured out that when pressing the select button threre is a keyboard overlay - wich buttons I have to use then to "press" F1, Commodore-Key etc.?
Thanx a lot again

You mean to set the wireless as Player 1 - this can be done by re-ordering the joysticks/gamepads using the Configuration Editor.
But from there I can't find anything like "machine settings".
You can try looking under the Core options to change any emulation parameters.

I think the B button is used to press the key ? See here or here.

Thank you again -that helped a lot.
Now I've managed to play C64-Games with the wireless-controller.
