Using WinVice SDL 2.4 in Hyperspin

MydknyteStyrm · June 25, 2014

I want to use WinVice SDL (with virtual keyboard option) for my cab setup. Using the WinVice.ahk module provided, and both SDL and regular emulators are 2.4, I have run into a snag. With the regular WinVice emulator, the games load up no problem via HLHQ. With the SDL emulator, I get this error

"There was an error waiting for the window "ahk_class VICE". Please check you have the correct version emulator installed for this module, followed any notes in the module, and have this emulator working outside your Frontend first. Also turn off Fade to see if you are hiding your problem."

Any ideas? My DaemonTools is set to False, and my SCSI is set to true. But those options I never really used anyway for other virtual drive emulators. Thanks!

It's probably because your using the wrong version of the emulator. The module is waiting for the Winvice window which is called "ahk_class VICE" when that window does not appear after a predefined time, then you get the error.

So you would need to modify the module to look for the WinVICE SDL window, which probably has a different name. To find out the name you can use a program called Autoit or there is one built into HLHQ in the PCLauncher module, it's the window grabber.

I think the line in the module you would have to modify is 129 WinWaitActive("ahk_class VICE") but I'm no expert so there may be more to change.

If I can I will try and find the window name.

gigapig · June 25, 2014

If you are running the x64.exe the window title is...

VICE: C64 emulator ahk_class SDL_app

or just....

VICE: C64 emulator

MydknyteStyrm · June 26, 2014

Thanks for the info. I replaced 11 occurrences of the ahk_class VICE to various options, including "VICE: C64 emulator", "SDL_app VICE: C64 emulator", "ahk_class SDL_app VICE: C64 emulator" and more using Notepad ++.

Each time I get the error with the form of the Window name, nothing seems to take. I used Autoit, and the window says the emulator Title is VICE: C64 emulator, and the Class is SDL_app.

One thing I noticed when I used AutoIt with the original WinVice (not SDL version), there was a listing under the Basic Control Info for VICE. With the SDL version the Basic Control Info is blank. This might have something to do with the lack of control?

gigapig · June 26, 2014

I tried to get this emu running but it doesn't even start and will obviously will give the error your receiving. Have you managed to get the emu to start through Hyperlaunch? If not someone with more module experience may need to take a look.

Do you have a link to the emu??

It's on the WinVICE site, I think this one x64.

Ok, so far...

I had to rename the sdl-vice.ini file to vice.ini and the emulator would almost launch. I get this in stderr.txt in the emulator directory..

Unknown option '+confirmexit'.

Error parsing command-line options, bailing out. For help use '-help'

So I removed that line from the parms of the module and the emulator launches and loads the game. I still get the same HL error above. That's as far as I got.

Thanks,

Ron

MydknyteStyrm · June 27, 2014

I can run winVice SDL no problem on its own. I have had no luck with HL opening it.

What's the point on using the SDL version anyway? Anything relevant over the normal builds?

MydknyteStyrm · June 27, 2014

The SDL version has an on screen GUI that can be activated by F12. The plus is that it includes a virtual C64 keyboard. Since I want this in my cab I figured it was the most accessible.

Umm ok, I'll try to have a look at it if it's as simple as changing the window title/class I can add support for it to the official module. If CLI, menus, etc. are all different then this won't be possible and most likely would require a new module as the current one is already pretty complex since it supports a few systems and settings.

Got started on a module for it. There are a couple significant differences between them. The sdl-vice.ini uses a different variable name for FullScreen. The ini file is also named sdl-vice.ini instead of vice.ini. The module also tries to pass a CLI that SDL doesn't like. Here is what I have so far:

http://pastebin.com/eUgfEhJ9

I made a new directory and called it .../HyperLaunch/Modules/WinVICE-SDL with the above ahk called WinVICE-SDL.ahk. Also copied the WinVICE.isd and renamed it to WinVICE-SDL.isd. Created a new Emulator called WinVICE-SDL with this module. It seems to work, only I think the window title/class is not right. And I don't know how to get it.

Still working on the details of the ini re-write.

Thanks,

Ron

[EDIT]

The above module, does use the fullscreen setting in HLHQ. Got it to rewrite the sdl-vice.ini file just fine.

[/EDIT]

brolly · June 27, 2014

I already have the current module working for the SDL version, but not sure if all features will work since this emu has no menu bar for instance and it seems that several CLI arguments aren't supported.

You'll also need to manually map all hotkeys through the emulator built-in menu in order to be able to make use of Warp, Start/Stop Tape, etc. and apparently you need to do this separately for each emu (C64,VIC-20,etc.) too much of a hassle if you ask me. But anyway the basics are working and I don't intend to spend anymore time with this since I see very little use for this emulator and the current module is pretty complex to make sure every single option is working with the SDL version.

HyperPause also doesn't working properly with the emu in fullscreen.

No point on posting it since it will only work with the beta HL, if you want to test it Ron lmk and I'll send it to you. You are in the HL beta testing right?

Brolly, you got it to work using the original WinVice module? I updated my modules using ModuleUpdater, and I still cant seem to get it even running. What version, may I ask, is your WinVice module?

brolly · June 28, 2014

No, what I meant was that I changed the WinVICE module so that it would work with the SDL version as well. But like I said no point on posting it yet since it requires some functions that only exist on the beta HL version.
