vice3DS v2 RC1

This is vice3DS v2 release candidate 1. Menu code was completely revamped to enable emulation to continue running while menu is active.

Installation:
Install CIA, run 3dsx from homebrew launcher or run 3ds from flash card.
Apart from this, a DSP-dump is required for sound to work correctly in the CIA version.

Usage:
Check here https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-vice3ds-c64-emulator.534830/ or click on the help icon within vice3DS (help screens are different if menu is inactive or active)

Changes to last release are:

• enhancement: vice menu moved from top to bottom screen, emulation does not pause anymore while menu is open
• enhancement: vice menu now useable with stylus
• enhancement: customizeable C64 keyboard command shortcuts
• optimization: changed button functions in menu: map hotkey with R-button, press L-button to use the emulation while menu is active
• bugfix: removed monitor from cpujam messagebox
• bugfix: sometimes d64 files were corrupted after autostart

Have fun and happy testing!

vice3DS v1.6 Espresso

Once again few more features, optimizations and bugfixes.

Installation:
Config file handling has changed a lot, so if you're updating from a previous version, make sure to delete all subdirectories within the vice3ds directory /3ds/vice3ds on your SD-card before starting the emulator. Otherwise new config settings, hotkeys and key mappings will not be updated and will not work.
Apart from this, a DSP-dump is required for sound to work correctly.

Changes to last release are:

• enhancement: major performance increase by optimizing and merging top (SDL) and bottom (citro3D) screen update routines
• enhancement: reSID sound engine support. Default engine is fastSID for O3DS, reSID for N3DS. reSID is more performance-hungry that fastSID, but sound is by far better. To change this setting, open VICE menu and go to "Machine settings" -> "Model settings" -> "SID settings" -> "SID model"
• enhancement: new help screen to show all current button functions (in emu and in menu)
• enhancement: soft button positions can now be changed by activating edit-mode (VICE menu: "Misc" -> "Edit bottom screen button positions") and dragging the soft buttons with the stylus. New positions are saved when saving settings
• enhancement: applying default setting will not require restart anymore
• enhancement: config files (vicerc, ROMs, icons etc.) are stored internally per default, files on SD card override internal files. Added menu entry in "Settings" menu to copy all internal config files to SD card.
• optimization: remove SDL joystick - all 3ds buttons and pad directions are now "keys" for vice3DS. These keys can be mapped to C64-joysticks via definition of keysets.
• optimization: define all default settings in code, no sdl-vicerc config file needed anymore
• optimization: optimize compiler flags for speed
• bugfix: eliminated sound distortions when using bottom screen (result of performance increase)
• bugfix: some soft buttons wouldn't unstick, fixed bug in MaxScreen softbutton
• multiple other small enhancements, optimizations and bug fixes

Have fun!

vice3DS v1.5 Cappuccino

Once again few more features and some optimizations. This time, I added an exerimental C128-emulator (3dsx only, version 0.1): It runs ok, but VDC-mode is painfully slow.

Installation:
As always - if you're updating from a previous version, make sure to delete the config directory on your SD-card /3ds/vice3ds/config before starting the emulator. Otherwise new config settings, hotkeys and key mappings will not be updated and will not work.
Apart from this, a DSP-dump is required for sound to work correctly.

Usage:

Changes to last release are:

• enhancement: added sampler device "3DS built in microphone audio input". Haven't you always wished to record 4bit samples with your 3DS that you can play on your C64 computer?
• enhancement: added sampler settings menu & other devices for joyports
• enhancement: add 'advance frame' menu entry to vice menu
• enhancement: show mouse button mappings on touchpad
• optimization: optimized keyboard handling (e.g. c-stick mapping & file dialogs)
• optimization: remove RS232 stuff from vice menu (wasn't working anyway)
• optimization: revamp build system, no more buildtools necessary

Have fun!
