VICE back down to 2.1 ??

Post by eslapion »

Yesterday, I visited the official VICE web page (http://www.viceteam.org) and I noticed on the download page, the version was back down to 2.1.

I downloaded the apparently downgraded version and it appears to be set to DX9 disabled by default and the ability to load megacart and Final expansion images seems to have been removed.
Be normal.

Get it from Sourceforge here.

Actually, it never went up. For some reason the VICE team hasn't updated the VICE website and it's causing a lot of unnecessary confusion. :(
In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.

I absolutely agree with the confusion, and I am not defending their position, but the link supplied prior is on their SourceForge project web site to download the 2.2 release, both source and binaries for all the platforms just as before.

I don't understand why the VICE Team frontpage is not updated (internal issues?) with the vice-emu page found on SourceForge.
