• [Vice] Problem with a cartridge

    From Andreas Kohlbach@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 21 16:40:45 2019
    I was trying to load the game Gorf as cartridge into the Vice
    emulator. Although the roms was accepted it wouldn't play. It didn't
    start and when trying to load it manually, using 'LOAD "file",8' and
    listing this it would only shown one line

    20

    and a "run" of course would not start the game.

    In a shell I did something like

    x64 -autostart gorf.zip

    Amazingly to me launching the same image worked with the MAME emulator. I suppose I have to tell VICE what kind of cartridge it is. But how can I
    find this out?

    Filename I suppose? Vice has different options for different cart
    images, and AFAIK, autostart isn't correct for carts. Also I doubt Vice
    would open a zip file for you, you need to unzip and give the actual
    file name to Vice.

    Due to a recent discussion on the game H.E.R.O. I hunted down the C64
    cart image and use the command x64 -cartcrt hero.crt to run it.

    Ah filename. Didn't bother opening the zip. Now I see the file in there
    has a .crt extension

    Due to a recent discussion on the game H.E.R.O. I hunted down the C64
    cart image and use the command x64 -cartcrt hero.crt to run it.

    That did the trick! :-)

    Strangely though when I gave the .zip file with the -cartcrt option that
    the file name is no valid option for '-cartcrt'. Vice could be smarter
    here and look into the .zip file.

    I don't know this game but when I fire or hit I hear sound. Something
    wrong with that?

    I was looking for an image which uses the magic voice extension. At least
    from Gorf I heard the cartridge version can *talk* (sampling, probably
    using the volume register $d418). From <https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Gorf#Cartridge>

    | Sound: The battle is only accompanied by some sound effects,
    | e.g. during shooting and explosions. However, Gorf is known for an at
    | that time remarkable novelty: the roboter voice that talks to the
    | player and mostly scorns him. This is also implemented in the C64 and
    | can be heard, provided you play the cartridge version with combination
    | of the Magic Voice speech module.

    Wizard Of Wor might be another game, what has in its cartridge format
    speech synthesis. But the images I tried also don't work.

    I downloaded a .bin file for VICE and then the Magic Sound option
    activated .
