Sven Droll ported VICE 0.15.0 to the NeXT. There is a Patch and a README available. The same stuff can also be found on the NeXT Archives. Thanks!
Michel de Ruiter <mdruiter@cs.vu.nl> has sent us a patch to make VICE-0.14.2 compile under DOS, with DJGPP. You can find the description in dospatch.html. Many thanks!
The patched Linux joystick module by Bernhard Kuhn and Christof Petig joystick-0.8.0.2.tgz now lets the 0.12.0.16 and newer versions work with analog and digital joysticks!
Another emulator has been added to vice-0.12.0.16, to allow emulation of the CS/A65 computer. It is derived from the PET emulator, and allows running an old version (1.3.3) of the OS/A65 operating system (Well, meanwhile it can run the new not-yet-published version 1.4) A copy of the 1.3.3 ROM as well as the pre-1.4 csarom-1.3.94p is included. For more information see here. The source archive, a patched 0.12.0.16 version can be found as vice.16-csa-20.tgz. Now even the hardware cursor of the 6545 crtc controller works, and it should be much faster (than previous versions, not compared to VICE itself...) on slow machines now. the -20 version fixes a segmentation fault that could sometimes occur, and also includes some rudimentary ACIA 6551 rs232 emulation.
Some hints:
You compile it with the usual "./configure", then "make xcsa"
(it is not included in the normal build
procedure, but you can still build all other emulators with the ususal "make")
and install it with "make install_xcsa".
There are no RS232 devices emulated, only dummy devices
and the video device. On virtual terminal 1 a shell is running, on
virtual terminal 2 a monitor is running. The "@" key switches between the
virtual terminals (4 with 40 cols "-video40" option, or 2 with 80 cols).
Drive C:-F: are IEEE drives 8-11, i.e. on drive 11 you find the Unix
directory under VICE.
