[Port] Vice Vic-20 for Android

pallas · Post by **pallas** » Fri Mar 08, 2013 6:53 am

Hello!

I managed to compile Vice vic-20 for android. It's based on the work by android sdl team and Sergii Pylypenko who made the android port for the c64 version, so credit goes to them, not to me

It's an alpha build and may have problems.
Have a look, play with it and let me know.

Market link:

http://play.google.com/store/apps/detai ... .vicevic20

Here is the apk for manual download:

Old one:

Have fun!

NOTE:
If you installed alpha1 or alpha2, REMOVE IT before installing the new version.

Alpha 2 posted.
It fixes video problems and is properly signed for release.
If you installed alpha1, REMOVE IT before installing the new version.

There is also an Android port amongst the experimental binaries over at the official VICE project site. That port include all VICE emulators, including the SuperCPU64 one...

Uploaded alpha3. Fixes truedrive mode.
As usual, remove the old version first.

EDIT: published on play store

Awesome stuff!
Any chance of 'true' aspect ratio?

Thanks

About the aspect ratio, I would need to investigate this a bit: with all the devices and os versions out there it probably won't be trivial...

Here the codebase. It's for the c64. I did very small changes to it, like putting the right ROM files for the Vic.
If you need more information just ask.

Pretty interesting. I played around for it for a minute, but can't figure out how to attach or load a program file.

Click the back button to open vice menu. Move with the virtual joystick.
From there you can load a prg file or open a d64 disk.

I installed it through the market, but unfortunately it crashes upon start.
I have an old Android 2.2 tablet. I didn't get a message that v2.2 is too low.
"The app ViceVIC20 (process it.opbyte.vicevic20) has stopped unexpectedly."

Could you please provide a logcat? You can use an app like alogcat to grab it. Thanks
