Go to the first, previous, next, last section, table of contents.
This section lists the settings and commands that are C64/128 specific
and thus are not present in the other emulators.
The cartridge system is organized in "Slots" to allow more than one cartridge
connected at a time, like it can be done using an expansion port expander on
a real C64 (see below).
Generally a cartridge can be enabled by attaching its respective cartridge
image, or using the respective menu option for cartridges that do not
require an image.
x64, x64sc and x128 allow you to attach the following kinds of images:
-
`.crt' images, as used by the CCS64 emulator by Per Håkan Sundell
-
raw `.bin' images, with or without load address
Cartridge images are like disk images, but contain the contents of
cartridge ROM and/or RAM images instead of disk images.
To attach cartridges, use the "Attach a cartridge image" submenu. When using
`.crt' images, this will work for every cartridge which is supported. For
raw `.bin' images you might have to use command line options.
When you have successfully attached a cartridge image,
you should then reset the machine to make sure the cartridge initializes
itself. (Or enable the "reset on cartridge change" option).
Of course, it is also possible to detach a currently attached
cartridge image ("Detach cartridge image").
If you are using a freezer cart like an Action Replay cartridge, you can
emulate the cartridge's freeze button with the "Cartridge freeze"
command.
The imaginary expansion port expander is organized in 4 slots, the
cartridges are associated with them like this:
All carts that have a passthrough connector go here. Once a "Slot 0"
cartridge is enabled all further cartridges are connected to its respective
passthrough port.
Only one cartridge of this type can be active at a time.
"Slot 0" carts have individual "enable" switches, enabling means enabling permanently.
The following cartridges are emulated in this slot:
-
IEEE-488 Interface (
http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/schematics/cartridges/c64/ieee-488/eprom.bin
)
-
Magic Voice
-
MMC64
Mostly RAM based cartridges which for one reason or the other might make sense
to be enabled together with one of the "Main Slot" cartridges go here.
Only one cartridge of this type can be active at a time.
"Slot 1" carts have individual "enable" switches, enabling means enabling permanently
The following cartridges are emulated in this slot:
-
Double Quick Brown Box (DQBB)
-
Expert Cartridge
-
ISEPIC
-
RamCart
All other cartridges which are not pure i/o extensions go here.
Only one cartridge of this type can be active at a time.
Cartridges in the "Main Slot" must be explicitly set as default to enable them permanently.
The following cartridges are emulated in this slot:
-
generic 4K, 8K and 16K game- and ultimax cartridges
-
Action Replay V5

All carts that are pure I/O extensions go here.
Any number of "I/O Slot" Carts may be active at a time.
"I/O Slot" carts have individual "enable" switches, enabling means enabling permanently.
The following cartridges are emulated in this slot:
-
ACIA (Swiftlink, Turbo232)
-
DigiMAX
-
Ethernet (The Final Ethernet, RR-Net)
-
GEO-RAM
-
MIDI (Passport/Syntech, Datel/Siel/JMS/C-Lab, Maplin, Namesoft, Sequential)
-
RAM Expansion Module (REU)
-
SFX Sound Expander
-
SFX Sound Sampler
When the emulator is run without arguments, all settings from the config file
should be applied and arguments override settings from the config file.
When saving the settings to the config file it is expected that on the next run
of the emulator all settings will be in the same state as they were when saved.
There is an exception to this rule: the cartridge in the "Main Slot" must be
explicitly set as default before it gets saved to the config file.
+cart
should disable ALL cartridges, including eventually activated REU,
Swithlink and all similar expansionport devices.
-cartXYZ
options should generally attach AND activate a cart of type XYZ.
As a consequence, attaching carts this way which are NOT in the "Main Slot" will
also enable the cart permanently.
If attaching a cartridge does not work as expected, this may be because of various
reasons:
- Not seldomly the CRT type is incorrectly set in
.crt
files found "in the wild".
Make sure this is not the case (if in doubt use cartconv
to verify and/or fix).
- You may have unintentionally enabled more than one cartridge at once, for
example by saving the settings with REU enabled, and then later attaching a game
cartridge from the command-line. The cartridge system will allow certain combinations,
but (as on the real thing) not all do (can) actually work. To make sure this is
not the case, either detach all cartridges from the menus, or use
+cart
on the command-line.
- The cartridge image might be broken. Try one from a different source. If you
are sure the dump is ok (for example because you dumped it yourself) then make sure
it is in proper linear order (on some cartridges, for example "capture", address and/or
data lines at the eprom are shuffled around so a dump made with an eprom burner can not
be used as is).
- Last not least you might have encountered a bug in the emulation. If you
suspect this is the case, and you can still reproduce the bug after checking the
things above, please file a bug report including the following information:
- attach your vicerc and a reference to the cartridge binaries
- if you can, comment in the respective DEBUGXYZ macros prominently defined at the
top of these files: src/c64/cart/c64cart.c src/c64/cart/c64cartmem.c src/c64/c64io.c
src/c64/c64export.c and then recompile. this will add debug output that might make
it much easier to locate certain problems.
To be able to use an IEEE drive, you need to enable IEEE emulation for the
emulator. To do this, follow the following steps:
Download the IEEE 488 ROM image from the CBM archives (formerly known as FUNET)
Attach that image with File/Attach cartridge image/IEEE488 interface image.
Make sure you have a one-drive system only (that is, go to Settings/Peripheral
Setting, uncheck "use IEC device" for all devices, go to Settings/Drive Settings
and select "Floppy type" as "none" for all drives other than drive 8.
After this, all drives can be selected in x64 and x128.
The Final Cartridge 3 detects wether a mouse is connected when it starts and
disables mouse support if it doesnt detect one. So to make mouse emulation
work you must either enable it on the command line, or reset the cartridge
after enabling it from the user interface.

These settings control the emulation of the VIC-II (MOS6569) video chip
used in both the C64 and the C128.
-
"Sprite-sprite collisions" and "Sprite-background collisions", if
enabled, cause the hardware detection of sprite-to-sprite and
sprite-to-background collisions of the VIC-II to be emulated. This
feature is used by many games, and disabling either of the two detection
systems can sometimes make you invincible (although there is also a
chance that also enemies become invincible then).

These settings control the emulation of the SID (MOS6581 or MOS8580)
audio chip.
-
"Second SID" maps a second SID chip into the address space for stereo
sound. This emulates e.g. the "SID Symphony Stereo Cartridge" from
Dr. Evil Laboratories. The second SID can be used with software such as
"Stereo SID Player" by Mark Dickenson or "The Enhanced Sidplayer" by
Craig Chamberlain.
-
"Second SID base address" sets the start address for the second SID
chip. Software normally uses $DE00 or $DF00, since $DE00-$DEFF and
$DF00-$DFFF can be mapped through the cartridge port of the C64. The
default start address is $DE00.
-
"Emulate filters" causes the built-in programmable filters of the SID
chip to be emulated. A lot of C64 music requires them to be emulated
properly, but their emulation requires some additional processor power.
-
"ChipModel" specifies the model of the SID chip being emulated: there
are two slightly different generations of SID chips: MOS6581 ones and
MOS8580 ones.
-
"Use reSID emulation" specifies whether the more accurate (and
resource hungry) reSID emulation is turned on or off.
-
"reSID sampling method" selects the method for conversion of the SID
output signal to a sampling rate appropriate for playback by standard
digital sound equipment. Possible settings are:
-
"Fast" simply clocks the SID chip at the output sampling frequency,
picking the nearest sample. This yields acceptable sound quality, but
sampling noise is noticeable in some cases, especially with SID combined
waveforms. The sound emulation is still cycle exact.
-
"Interpolating" clocks the SID chip each cycle, and calculates each
sample with linear interpolation. The sampling noise is now strongly
attenuated by the SID external filter (as long as "Emulate filters" is
selected), and the linear interpolation further improves the sound
quality.
-
"Resampling" clocks the SID chip each cycle, and uses the
theoretically correct method for sample generation. This delivers CD
quality sound, but is extremely CPU intensive, and is thus most useful
for non-interactive sound generation. Unless you have a very fast
machine, that is.
- "reSID resampling passband" specifies the percentage of the
total bandwidth allocated to the resampling filter passband. The work
rate of the resampling filter is inversely proportional to the remaining
transition band percentage. This implies that e.g. with the transition
band starting at ~ 20kHz, it is faster to generate 48kHz than 44.1kHz
samples. For CD quality sound generation at 44.1kHz the passband

I/O extensions are (usually) cartridges which do not map into ROM space,
but use only the I/O space at address range $DE00 ... $DEFF and/or
$DF00 ... $DFFF.
Please use these extensions only when needed, as they might cause
compatibility problems.
The following I/O extensions are available:
- ACIA (Swiftlink, Turbo232)
- DigiMAX
- Ethernet (The Final Ethernet, RR-Net)
- GEO-RAM
- MIDI (Passport, Datel, Maplin, Namesoft, Sequential)
- REU -
The "RAM Expansion Module" extension emulates a standard
Commodore RAM Expansion Unit; this can be used with GEOS and other
programs that are designed to take advantage of it. This currently
works only in the C64 emulator.

This section lists the settings and commands that are C64DTV specific
and thus are not present in the other emulators.
The DTV has a 2MB Flash chip which contains the kernal, basic and
character set ROMs along with other data, such as games in the case of
the original C64DTV ROM.
The image file is a dump of the flash chip. It is exactly 2MB (2097152 bytes).
If you do not have a suitable image file, an image using the C64 kernal,
basic and charset is automatically created.
If writing to the C64DTV ROM is enabled, the image file is rewritten with
the current data when exiting x64dtv.
Note that x64dtv tries to load the image file from the C64DTV
directory first, and if it isn't found there, x64dtv tries to
load it from the current directory. If you do not have `dtvrom.bin'
in your C64DTV directory and writing to DTV ROM is enabled,
the `dtvrom.bin' file is created to the current directory.
NOTE: The original C64DTV ROM has somewhat distorted colors,
normally you should use a patched rom.

-
Specify `NAME' as the C64DTV ROM image
-c64dtvromrw
-
+c64dtvromrw

any file access to the flash filesystem (device 1) will go to the local
file system instead.
-trueflashfs
-
+trueflashfs
-
Enable or disable true hardware flash file system
-fsflash NAME

The DTV revision 2 has a bug in the Blitter. Using revision 3
is recommended. Emulation of DTV revision 2 including Blitter
bug is intended for testing DTV software.
-dtvrev REVISION
-
Specify DTV `REVISION' (2 or 3)
The PAL C64DTVs have wrong resistors in the video output circuit,
which causes incorrect luminances. Several hardware solutions
("LumaFixes") have been developed to fix this flaw.
The fixed video output is emulated by selecting "New Luminances".
The unmodified C64DTV video output can be emulated with "Old Luminances".
The default setting is "New Luminances".
The C64DTV userport emulation currently supports three devices:
Hummer ADC, userport joystick and PS/2 mouse.
The joystick that controls either the Hummer ADC or userport joystick
can be selected using the same parameter or menu option.
While using the Hummer ADC, joystick UP and DOWN are mapped to
the Hummer buttons A and B respectively. LEFT and RIGHT set the ADCs
output to 0 and 255. Centering the joystick results in the ADC value of 128.
Currently the Hummer ADC and userport joystick are mutually exclusive.
This means that enabling one disables the other. PS/2 mouse emulation
can be used simultaneously with either Hummer ADC or userport joystick.

Currently the registers A, Y and X are registers R0, R1 and R2 regardless of
the mapping, which can be seen and modified via the registers ACM and XYM.
The monitor can access all 2MB of RAM and 2MB of Flash, but only 64 kB at a time.
The 64kB bank can be selected with "bank ram00".."ram1f" for RAM and
"bank rom00".."rom1f" for Flash.
The "load" command can load large files (>64kB) correctly if the bank is set
to "ramXX", where XX is the starting bank (usually "bank00").
This section lists the settings and commands that are VIC20-specific and
thus are not present in the other emulators.
As with the C64 (see section 7.1.1 Using cartridges), it is possible to attach
several types of cartridge images:
-
4 or 8 Kbyte cartridges located at $2000;
-
4 or 8 Kbyte cartridges located at $4000;
-
4 or 8 Kbyte cartridges located at $6000;
-
4 or 8 Kbyte cartridges located at $A000;
-
4 Kbyte cartridges located at $B000.
This can all be done via the "Attach cartridge image..." command in
the left-button menu. It is also possible to let xvic "guess" the
type of cartridge using "Smart-attach cartridge image...".
Notice that several cartridges are actually made up of two pieces (and
two files), that need to be loaded separately at different addresses.
In that case, you have to know the addresses (which are usually
specified in the file name) and use the "attach" command twice.
A special kind of cartridge file is where the two files mentioned
above are concatenated (with removing the two byte load address of
the second image) into one 16k image. There are only few of those
images, though. Normally the second part is located at $A000.
Vice can now attach such concatenated files at the start address
$2000, $4000, and $6000. The second half of such an image is
moved to $A000. If you encounter 16k images that have the second
half not at $A000 you can split the image into two halfs
(i.e. one 8194 byte and one 8192 byte, because the first has the load
address) and attach both files separately.
One cartridge that is currently only partially supported here is
the VIC1112 IEEE488 interface. You have to load the ROM as a cartridge,
but you also have to enable the IEEE488 hardware by menu.

It is possible to change the VIC20 memory configuration in two ways: by
enabling and/or disabling certain individual memory blocks, or by
choosing one among a few typical memory configurations. The former can
be done by modifying resource values directly or from the right-button
menu; the latter can only be done from the menu.
There are 5 RAM expansion blocks in the VIC20, numbered 0, 1, 2, 3 and
5:
-
block 0 (3 Kbytes at $0400-$0FFF);
-
block 1 (8 Kbytes at $2000-$3FFF);
-
block 2 (8 Kbytes at $4000-$5FFF);
-
block 3 (8 Kbytes at $6000-$7FFF);
-
block 5 (8 Kbytes at $A000-$BFFF).
These blocks are called expansion blocks because they are not
present a stock ("unexpanded") machine. Each of them is associated to
a boolean RamBlockX
resource (where X
is the block number)
that specifies whether the block is enabled or not.
There are also some common memory configurations you can pick from the
right-button menu:
-
no RAM expansion blocks at all;
-
all RAM expansion blocks enabled;
-
3K expansion (only block 0 is enabled);
-
8K expansion (only block 1 is enabled);
-
16K expansion (only blocks 1 and 2 are enabled);
-
24K expansion (only blocks 1, 2 and 3 are enabled).
RAMBlock0
-
RAMBlock1
-
RAMBlock2
-
RAMBlock3
-
RAMBlock5
-
Booleans specifying whether RAM blocks 0, 1, 2, 3 and 5 must be enabled.
-memory CONFIG
-
Specify memory configuration. It must be a comma-separated list of
options, each of which can be one the following:
-
none
(no extension);
-
all
(all blocks);
-
3k
(3k space in block 0);
-
8k
(first 8k extension block);
-
16k
(first and second 8k extension blocks);
-
24k
(first, second and 3rd extension blocks);
-
0
, 1
, 2
, 3
, 5
(memory in respective
blocks);
-
04
, 20
, 40
, 60
, A0
(memory at
respective address.
For example,
xvic -memory none
gives an unexpanded VIC20. While
xvic -memory 60,a0
or
xvic -memory 3,5
enables memory in blocks 3 and 5, which is the usual configuration for
16k ROM modules.
These settings can be used to control what system ROMs are loaded in the
VIC20 emulator at startup. They cannot be changed from the menus.

This section lists the settings and commands that are PET-specific and
thus are not present in the other emulators.
With xpet
, it is possible to change at runtime the
characteristics of the emulated PET so that it matches (or not) the ones
of a certain PET model, and it is also possible to select from a common
set of PET models so that all the features are selected accordingly.
The former is done by changing the following resources (via resource
file, command line options or right-menu items):
RamSize
-
Size of memory in kByte. 96k denotes a 8096, 128k a 8296.
IOSize
-
Size of I/O area in Byte. Either 2048 or 256 for 8296.
VideoSize
-
The number of columns on the screen (40 or 80). A 0 auto-detects this
from the ROM.
Ram9
-
The 8296 can map RAM into the address range $9***
RamA
-
The 8296 can map RAM into the address range $A***
SuperPET
-
This resource enables the SuperPET (MicroMainFrame 9000) I/O
and disables the 8x96 mappings.
Basic1
-
If (by checksum) a version 1 kernal is detected, then the
kernal ROM is patched to make the IEEE488 interface work.
Basic1Chars
-
Exchanges some character in the character ROM that have changed
between the first PET 2001 and all newer versions.
EoiBlank
-
This resource enables the "blank screen on EOI" feature of the
oldest PET 2001.
DiagPin
-
Set the diagnositc pin on the PET userport (see below).
ChargenName
-
Specify `NAME' as the character generator ROM file
KernalName
-
Specify `NAME' as the kernal ROM file. This file contains the
complete BASIC, EDITOR and KERNAL ROMs and is either 16k (BASIC 1 and 2)
or 20k (BASIC 4) in size.
EditorName
-
Specify `NAME' as the editor ROM file. This file contains
an overlay for the editor ROM at $E000-$E7FF if necessary.
RomModule9Name
-
Specify `NAME' as the $9*** Expansion ROM file. This file contains
an expansion ROM image of 4k.
RomModuleAName
-
Specify `NAME' as the $A*** Expansion ROM file. This file contains
an expansion ROM image of 4k.
RomModuleBName
-
Specify `NAME' as the $B*** Expansion ROM file. This file contains
an expansion ROM image of 4k.
This file overlays the lowest 4k of a BASIC 4 ROM.
Choosing a common PET model is done from the right-button menu instead,
by choosing an item from the "Model defaults" submenu. Available
models are:
-
PET 2001-8N
-
PET 3008
-
PET 3016
-
PET 3032
-

Notice that this will reset the emulated machine.
It is also possible to select the PET model at startup, with the
-model
command-line option: for example, `xpet -model 3032'
will emulate a PET 3032 while `xpet -model 8296' will emulate a PET
8296.

It is possible to enable or disable emulation of the PET diagnostic pin
via the DiagPin
resource, or the "PET userport diagnostic pin"
item in the right-button menu.
When the diagnostic pin is set, the Kernal does not try to initialize
the BASIC, but directly jumps into the builtin machine monitor.
These are the commandline options specific for the CBM-II models.

It is also possible to choose what color set is used for the emulation
window. This is done by specifying a palette file name (see section 4.3 Palette files) in the PaletteName
resource. The menu provides the
following values:
-
green.vpl
(default, "green)"), the good old green-on-black
feeling;
-
amber.vpl
("amber"), an amber phosphor lookalike;
-
white.vpl
("white"), simple white-on-black palette.
This section lists the settings and commands that are CBM-II-specific and
thus are not present in the other emulators.
With xcbm2
, it is possible to change at runtime the
characteristics of the emulated CBM so that it matches (or not) the ones
of a certain CBM model, and it is also possible to select from a common
set of CBM models so that all the features are selected accordingly.
The former is done by changing the following resources (via resource
file, command line options or right-menu items):
UseVicII
-
Whether to use VIC-II for video output (value 1) or the CRTC for the
other machines (value 0)
RamSize
-
Size of memory in kByte. Possible values are 128, 256, 512 and 1024
Ram08, Ram1, Ram2, Ram4, Ram6, RamC
-
Expanded CBM-II models could map RAM to the expansion ROM areas
at $0800-$0fff, $1000-$1fff, $2000-$3FFF, $4000-$5FFF, $6000-$7FFF
and $c000-$cfff respectively.
Cart2Name, Cart4Name, Cart6Name
-
Specify `NAME' as the $2000-$3FFF, $4000-$5FFF or $6000-$6FFF
Expansion ROM file. This file contains an 8k ROM dump.
ModelLine
-
The CBM-II business models have two hardcoded lines at one of the I/O ports.
From those lines the kernal determines how it should init the
CRTC video chip for either 50Hz (Europe) or 60Hz (North America),
and either for 8 (C6x0) or 14 (C7x0) scanlines per character.
0 = CBM 7x0 (50Hz), 1 = 60Hz C6x0, 2 = 50Hz C6x0).
Choosing a common CBM-II model is done from the right-button menu instead,
by choosing an item from the "Model defaults" submenu. Available
models are:
-
C510 (128k RAM)
-
C610 (128k RAM)
-
C620 (256k RAM)
-
C620+ (1024k RAM, expanded)
-
C710 (128k RAM)
-
C720 (256k RAM)
-
C720+ (1024k RAM, expanded)
Notice that this will reset the emulated machine.
Warning: At this time switching between 510 and other machines during
runtime is not supported and will not work.
It is also possible to select the CBM model at startup, with the
-model
command-line option: for example, `xcbm2 -model 610'
will emulate a CBM 610 while `xcbm2 -model 620' will emulate a CBM
620. Notably this is the only way to start a C510 emulation, with
-model 510
.
These are the commandline options specific for the CBM-II models.
