Vice3DS v2.3 Released

Vice3DS v2.3

Badda has released a new version of Vice3DS which is a port of the VICE C64 (Versatile Commodore Emulator) for your homebrew enabled New Nintendo 3DS portable video gaming console. The Commodore 64, also known as the C64 or the CBM 64, is an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International.
Features

Vice3DS can only run on a N3DS because it needs the extra CPU power (runs on 804MHz).

Instructions

Installation
Extract the archive to the root of your SD card and run vice3ds in HBL.

Usage
Preconfigured button functions:
Select: open Vice menu
Shoulder left: Open virtual keyboard
Start: quit emulator

The Circle Pad and X-Button are mapped to Joystick Port 1
The Directional Pad and A-Button are mapped to Joystick Port 2
This (and a lot of other things) can be changed in the Vice menu (Machine settings -] Joystick settings -] Swap joystick ports)

Vice3DS can only run on a N3DS because it needs the extra CPU power (runs on 804MHz).

DSP-dump is required for sound to work correctly

Installation (upgrading):

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.

Changelog v2.3

-enhancement: gamebase64 launcher now works on O3DS with reduced database size (and lots of other memory optimizations)
-enhancement: auto switch to (hopefully) correct joyport/control scheme when starting a game in gamebase64 launcher
-enhancement: new joystick handling (only 1 joystick, plugable in p1/p2 and switchable between dpad/cpad, B-button = joy up, R-button = autofire)
-enhancement: auto-switching PAL/NTSC / TDE / Control scheme in gb64 launcher can now be turned off
-enhancement: soft button positions are now saved in snapshot files when saving configuration
-enhancement: volume can now be increased to 200%. This will make some games more audible but will most probably result in sound distortions for most games.
