I tinkered a bit around with Donkey Kong and Dig Dug. The TOSEC multipart versions work, the singlepart versions don’t. The No-Intro roms, which have the same hashes as the TOSEC singlepart versions do work. Unzipped carts do not work at all.
On Windows, I still have to do the workaround with the turbofire button on the virtual keyboard to make the joystick work.
On Android it works.
So i found the no-intro set, which i was told is the cartridge collection for VIC-20. It’s only a couple of hundred different games instead of 1000s, but i tried about 10 games and they all load without hassle, including the controls so far. So i’ll make a setup with these games and i think the system will be represented nicely enough.
Are you sure the buildbot is not offering an ancient version? There are no control exceptions for platforms, so a difference between platforms must mean the version is not the same.
Here unzipped and single carts work fine, and the turbofire bug hasn’t been there for a while either. It existed for a week, and it was possible to not suffer from it by having either the turbo button not at the default (B) or the face button option not at the default (B = fire).
Please post examples of which files won’t run.
I can’t find the Hyperlist romset anywhere, so I can’t do anything about it. Please copypaste the file structure of a few archives, preferrably single and multipart.
I checked this again, Android and Windows versions are 3.3 feb1b88.
Sorry for the joystick thing, I guess I accidentally messed something up with the input mappings on windows, so I made them the same as on Android,
now both do work the same.
I did some more tests with cartridges zipped, unzipped, TOSEC, No-Intro. Tested roms from both sets have the same hashes.
Here are the results: (+ means working, - not working)

So it looks like the $2000 roms are the problem, where only zipped No-Intro versions work.
(edit):
Here some tests for cards with SYS commands:

So here the zipped No-Intro versions for $4000 carts don’t work.
Thanks for the scouting. I finally managed to fix all of those. Just needs some more testing and cleaning before pushing.
The most surprising find was that none of those singular .20-roms work even in standalone by themselves, but instead require to also be put into address $6000. It was happening here with zips because of a lucky accident (because they create a m3u and launching a playlist is handled a bit differently.)
Edit: Changes are merged. More testing welcome of course.
