Commodore64 core?

Libretro Cores
#41

@r-type: I tried the EMUTYPE parameter with no success. I still get a black backgrong in Mayhem’s title. I build FRODO like this: “make -j8 -f Makefile.libretro NOLIBCO=1 EMUTYPE=frodosc”

EDIT: Got it, it builds a core with a different name and I was using the old one.

So are you going to move the “internal menu” options to “core options”? Did I get it right?

I have also noticed that a “ghost” file called .sram.bsv is created in the system directory when this core is run.

And yes, frodo_sc is a bit TOO heavy on the Pi1’s CPU :smiley:

Also, r-type, since you love the Atari 8-bit so much, have you tried porting this one? —> http://sourceforge.net/p/atari800/source/ci/master/tree This is a lightweight Atari 8-bit computer line emulator that would run on low-end hardware too and is pretty much accurate while not nearly as CPU-intensive as frodo_sc.

For internal menu to core opts and the ghost file , yes i will look at when i ll have time , for now I’m on vice.

for Atari800 , yeah , i had ported it few year ago , I’m sure I had a libretro version somewhere … but I’m more 16bit ATARI computer than 8 bit :slight_smile: .

BTW , i finally find my problem with vice port , the crash at exit and the non working sound on android was due to a atexit failure ,now ,vice works better on linux and on android . I should finally get something with this Port …

#43

Hell yeah!, when can we expect a release of the VICE CORE please?

#44

Wonderful news, r-type! C64 is one of my most cherished childhood memories. Can’t wait to give it the proper RetroArch run.

#45

r-type: I’m all crazy about the 8bit Atari computer line, it was my first “own” computer (we had a ZX Spectrum at home before that but it was my aunt’s computer and not really mine). So could you please dig that Atari800 port? I would LOVE to have that, so if the work is already done…

And DON’T worry about Frodo core problems: if you’re into VICE, then it’s better! VICE is the way to go, I agree!

#46

If you’re porting VICE over to RetroArch, does that mean the core is also able to run Commodore 128 roms?

Not quickly anyway , for now it’s only a poc , core run fine but there are no option or menu added ,only quick gui hack to load cart/tap/disk , as a good vice port need the menu to be ported and all options available… I have no spare time for now to spend on it , so it can take long time before we had a proper vice port. For c128 , i ve tried some c128 d64 , but none of them works . i must have a broken things somewhere.

Hi r-type,

Could I persuade you to upload your current poc version to your github? The menu is not important to me, and I would love to mess around with it.

#49

@r-type: what diablodiab said… and if you could locate that atari800 libretro port it would be nice, too :slight_smile: (sorry to insist)

#50

Sorry guy but no free time to work on it , so for now , it’s very limited and WIP . many things are missing ,input are broken , and the rest is good to be redone in a sane way.

For a800 , i have to find first the old hard drive where it reside.

#51

Thx for making the wip version available. I don’t really have time to fiddle around with it myself, but it’s nice to have the option at some point.

Btw, I’m having zero problems with the Frodo core, so far it has worked fine with everything I’ve thrown at it. So I’m not in a hurry with Vice, tbh :slight_smile:

I’ve compiled both of r-type’s frodo and vice cores successfully, but they segfault when I try to run them on my Raspberry Pi and with retroarch from git. Anyone have any clues?

#53

I am using this core, but i have a problem:

  • .prg files do not work, the emulador do nothing…

  • d64, tap and crt files work great!

Any suggestion???
