@chapter About VICE

VICE is the one and only @dfn{Versatile Commodore Emulator}. It provides
562
emulation of the Commodore C64, C64DTV, C128, VIC20, PET, PLUS4 and CBM-II computers
562
emulation of the Commodore C64, C64DTV, C128, VIC20, PET, PLUS4, SCPU64 and CBM-II computers

within a single package. The emulators run as separate programs, but have
564
564
the same user interface, share the same settings and support the same

accurate; it tries to emulate chip timings as precisely as possible and
578

does so @emph{efficiently}.

778
The XSCPU64 emulator is a simulation of a C64 equipped with a SuperCPU64 V2B. Features:
781
@item 20 MHz asynchronous single cycle 65816 CPU core with proper dummy and invalid cycle handling.
782
@item 128 KiB static RAM, 0-16 MiB SIMM RAM, 64-512 KiB EPROM emulated and their respective timing details.
783
@item All RAM optimization configurations supported with write buffer.
784
@item I/O area access delays, write through to SRAM implemented.
785
@item Memory mappings including cartridge and boot memory map and kernal shadow.
786
@item Hardware registers and switches implemented.
787
@item Replacement SCPU64 ROM compatible with the original to avoid distribution problems
788
@item It's using the single cycle VICII core for accurate simulation
794
@item Measure and verify VICII interrupt phase shift
795
@item Measure and verify BA phase shift
796
@item SIMM RAM extra 7.5 cycle refresh delay every 10us missing.
797
@item CPU NMI support for ``reset'' button
800
The emulation is quite accurate but not perfect. If you code something timing
801
intensive using this simulation please always check it on real hardware to avoid
804
The hardware itself is asynchronous in nature, therefore caution must be taken
805
to not do long timing loops without synchronization in 20 MHz mode. Also don't
806
squeeze out the last remaining cycles without leaving a safety buffer.
807
Synchronization points can be created by doing I/O reads or writes and leaving
808
a few hundred cycles left each frame will not hurt.
810
Otherwise it can happen that the code is running on this version of VICE or my
811

There are two ways of emulating the keyboard in VICE.

1374

@file{/usr/local}), @code{EMU} is the name of the emulated machine

or @code{VIC20}) and @code{BOOTPATH} is the directory where the executable resides.
1377
1419
The disk drive ROMs are looked for in a directory with @code{EMU} set to
1378
1420
@code{DRIVES}. @code{$HOME} is the user's home directory.

the hardware-level emulation of the 1541, 1571, 1581, 2000 and 4000 disk
1686
The SCPU64 needs the following files:
1691
@file{scpu64}, the SCPU64 ROM (128 Kbytes)
1694
@file{chargen}, the character generator ROM (4 Kbytes)

@node Keymap files, Palette files, ROM files, System files
1645
1699
@section Keymap files
1809
1863
As you can see, the file even uses the same syntax as the
1810
1864
resource file, it is just a bit stripped down.
1866
While a Romset file is processed, the directory where the Romset file
1867
was found is temporarily prepended to the search path (@code{Directory}
1868
resource). This also means that if you have a setting for
1869
@code{Directory} in it, its effect is limited to the Romset file itself.
