Vice C64 Emulator default attach image/prg/tape/crt file path

Marcone698

Hi all,

i'm optimizing vice with best settings, at this moment i can't find how to set default path when i 'attach :
disk image,
prg file,
tape image or
crt file",
the default path is /home/pi so i have to go in RetroPie>roms>c64 folder, it's not a big problem but it would be nice if when i want start a image i will be directly in roms/c64 folder.

Does it exist the possibility to set it?

Thanks a lot

Reading my post i realized that when i select F12 (to open vice Menu) and I select a file to launch, the folder is /home/pi/ because i'm logged with pi user however it would be nice to change default path /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/c64/

I think that select the c64 ROM to run in the vice menu is much quicker than quit vice, wait to enter in emulation station, select a rom and return to vice but maybe all peole choice this way to change game...

@Marcone698 Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

what version of retropie etc.

we do switch the path on the latest vice launch script.

Sorry, already read but i have forgot to put informations in this post, normally i do it :(
Raspberry pi zero
latest Retropie image
16 GB SD samsung

It's my fault, if I launch emulation station than c64 the right path is set and actualy in my full arcade machine works well, in this pi zero i'm planning to prepare a retropie image that launch directly c64 basic, i will put into a normal PC keyboard to make a modern C64 computer.
To launch directly vice with c64 basic i have added line :
/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/x64 (in autostart.sh)
and i have commented emulationstation

now i have modified line to:
/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/x64 -chdir /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/c64

and works

Thanks

@Marcone698 Please read the link again (for next time):

RetroPie Version Used (3.6, 3.8.1, 4.01 etc.. - do not write latest)

but yes, -chdir is the correct option (which we use when launching normally).
