Commordore 64 PSP Vice, A Commodore Plus 4 Emulator and a VIC20 Emulator - Image 1 


Kristof has come out with a hat trick of emulators for the PSP. In this release, the developer updates Commodore 64 Vice, and throws in a Commodore Plus 4 Emulator and a VIC20 emulator for good measure.

So far, the developer has noted that Mouse Emulation is still not working while the two additional emulators are still a bit "rough." However, it should be noted that quite a few bugfixes were implemented including: NFO Comments now being fully displayed, the restore key can now be used more than once, game files with long file names no longer cause the PSP to crash, disk files can now be saved, and P00 files can now be run. Here's the rest of the change log:
  • Stereo effect on sound output (I like this effect)
  • Sub-directories support. User can now browse any directory of the memory stick.
  • Update to latest VICE version (1.22)
  • Add auto fire option. Two speeds available.
  • VIC20 standalone version.
  • PLUS4 standalone version.
  • "Shifted" keyboard GFX added (thank to Shabanak)
  • Small speed improvement (unfortunatly still not enough for some few games like Cauldron2).
  • PSP icons are hidden now ( __SCE__ method ).
  • Welcome text at load time (instead of black screen)
  • New menus organisation
All in all, this is a very solid effort from Kristof. As always, be sure to go over the readme documents in the compressed files before doing anything to avoid any problems in using and installing the software.

» Finally a Vic-20 emulator!

Awesome! That was my first computer, can't wait to play all those games on my PSP.



Now I still need a Spectravideo SVI-328 emulator (almost the same as an MSX computer).

» COOL!

This is really COOL! I had a Vic 20 When I was a kid. One question, How am I to go about converting my tapes of data. Yes i still have it all, the Vic 20 albeit doesn't work. Maybe a fuse is blown.... Anyways, will be showing the guys this today over coffee. gotta love a geeky coffees hop.

» WAV-PRG

You just need a normal cassette player with headphone-out and a patch cable to connect it to your PC's audio line-in. Play the whole tape and capture it with a free audio program like Audacity, then run WAV-PRG on the .wav file.

Unless you have some kind of unique data on your tapes, you can just find the games online.



I've been waiting for an update to fix saving, thanks Kristoff!!

» The VIC-20 keymap is incorrect

Turns out the keymap of the VIC-20 emulator wasn't working properly, for some reason it was expecting the mapping of the C64 keyboard matrix. I made a fix for that, get the updated keymap here: http://home.planet.nl/~mpolle/psp_pos.vkm



And throw it into the E:\downs\psp\14505_PSPVIC20_11.zip\__SCE__PSPV IC20\PSPViceDat as\vic20sys\ dir.

» Oops

Sorry for the messed up path there. should be:



__SCE__PSPVIC20 / PSPViceDatas / vic20sys /
