VICE 1.20 Mac Problems

Unfortunately, the new release 1.20 of VICE has some problems on Macs. In this post I will summarize the ones we have found.

  • Crash on Settings Loading: There is a (endianess) bug that will crash VICE on start up. Currently, the only workaround is to not save any settings at all. If you already have saved settings then remove the file $HOME/.vice/vicerc.
  • Keymap selector does not work: The menu entry Keyboard settings/Keyboard mapping type/Positional mapping (US) is non functional and loads the symbolic mapping again.

Both bugs are already fixed and will be gone in the next release.

MacViceBuilder replaced by VICE 1.20

For those who didn’t know it already: The build scripts that create a universal mac binary of VICE called MacViceBuilder are now completely integrated in the current VICE release.

I removed the download link from my page and updated the site’s contents.

PS: All patches found there are also integrated in the current VICE release.
