- These are the most common known problems with VICE 0.13.0:
-
- - the `automatic' refresh rate setting does not work too well under Unix:
- it usually gives a refresh rate that is lower than the one you would get
- with a fixed value at 100% speed;
-
- - audio support on Solaris and HP-UX is buggy; in particular, the behavior of
- the automatic refresh rate setting is wrong when sound is enabled, and the
- driver does not stand slowdowns as it should; [in 0.13.0, it is likely not
- to work at all]
-
- - the TextField widget can cause an X protocol error on XChangeProperty():
- to fix this, recompile with the `--disable-textfield' option and (please)
- tell us (we only experienced this once, on a DEC/Alpha machine, and did
- not have the time to find out why);
-
- - changing SID registers often is slow (e.g. when playing samples using the
- volume register);
-
- - setting a maximum speed limit does not always work because of limited timer
- resolution on many systems;
-
- - P00 file name handling is not exact, as you must use the file system name
- (with the P00 extension) instead of the one specified in the P00 format;
-
- - GCR writes to disk images in full 1541 emulation mode are not 100% emulated
- (the provided emulation should be enough for most pourposes, though);
-
- - there is no support for wildcards on the FS drive access, but they can be
- used when reading the directory (eg. LOAD"$:gamez/*.p00",8);
-
- - the VIC-I chip in xvic still lacks important features and is still under
- construction;
-
- - the CRTC chip in xpet only supports the basic features and is still under
- construction;
-
- - the VIAs in the PET, VIC20 and 1541 emulators are _not_ cycle-exact;
-
- - xvic and xpet do not support tape images;
-
- - the C64 and VIC20 cartridge ROMs are not emulated;
-
- - the VIC20 has no joystick;
-
- - changing the REU image name via resource files has no effect until exiting;
-
- - dithering on monochrome X11 servers is *very* slow;
-
- - adaptive sound speed is not supported on MS-DOS.
