>Go to C64 Dreams\C64 Dreams and start Configurator.exe. Doesnt seem to exist in the torrent I have of C64 Dreams v0.17.7z.

Um, It's not a CPU issue, its an issue with collection. The problem is seen across multiple machines, and only with this collection. c64 emulation has worked very well since the 90s. My 2021 build uses a Intel Core i7-10700KF 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor... This audio issue, a distortion issue, isn't something I see on my personal launchbox setups, or any of the other collections I have downloaded. Just this one. All of my other collections run c64 stuff, via launchbox, 10+ year old hardware... The issue follows the collection, across a diverse set of hardware. I's also not the GPU. While I am still rocking a rx570, and an HD6990 in another machine, these are more than capable cards, and are not the issue. edit: The Wolfanoz collection, and so on do not exhibit this issue. I suspect there is an issue with how retroarch is setup.

Anyone else experience distorted sound from this collection? I've tried this on 4 machines, and its kinda worthless because of the sound issues. I migrated the collection to mine, and changed the emulator. But I'd like the original collection to be in a working order.

What I have done is copy one into the other (minus the ..\LaunchBox\Data folder) and then manually merge the files in ..\LaunchBox\Data. I merged my collection, dream64, Wolfanoz, and eXoDOS into a single collection this way. Open the files, append the source to the destination, make certain the xml tags are closed/accounted for. You will merge the data for the platforms, emulators, and so on. I took it a step further. Launchbox minus the games on an 1tb m.2. G since the collection works best on g. Lunchbox (original unmerged) with games is on a 10tb HHD. F, arbitrary. I will sync G to F later. mklink /D G:\Launchbox\Games F:\LaunchBox\Games mklink /D G:\Launchbox\eXo F:\eXoDOS\eXo - later I moved \eXo to \Launchbox\ on F and updated my links. Launchbox launches in 15 seconds on the m.2, 40 seconds on the HDD. More important really is the scrolling experience. On the m.2 everything runs silk smooth. I use the mklinks (symbolic links) to keep the collection portable and contained it to a single logical drive letter when it's actually on physically on 2 drives. This gives me the m.2 experience for the interface, and HDD's storage capacity, but I can copy it over to single drive if I wished/needed to. I would love opinions. input, suggestions for better ways. Or if they have a better way to explain what I has suggested, be helpful

error: -fliplist should have been -flipname

My method of dealing with multiple disks follows: There is a feature in vice called fliplists. There is a header, and a list of paths/images. I've not figured out how to make it portable as of yet, as ../ doesnt work. exampled of command line to add: -fliplist "Z:\Retrowares\Commodore 64\Ultima\ultima4.vfl In this example we have a flip list that associates 2 images with one drive, and 2 with another. filename = ultima4.vfl # Vice fliplist file UNIT 8 Z:\Retrowares\Commodore 64\Ultima\ULTIMA4A.D64 Z:\Retrowares\Commodore 64\Ultima\ULTIMA4B.D64 UNIT 9 Z:\Retrowares\Commodore 64\Ultima\ULTIMA4C.D64 Z:\Retrowares\Commodore 64\Ultima\ULTIMA4D.D64 A user named Wally pointed out another solution is to use m3u files via retroarch. I've no toyed with this as I prefer the over all power of native vice and multiple versions of vice.

In case someone googles and finds this. There is a feature in vice called fliplists. There is a header, and a list of paths/images. I've not figured out how to make it portable as of yet, as ../ doesnt work. exampled of command line to add: -fliplist "Z:\Retrowares\Commodore 64\Ultima\ultima4.vfl In this example we have a flip list that associates 2 images with one drive, and 2 with another. filename = ultima4.vfl # Vice fliplist file UNIT 8 Z:\Retrowares\Commodore 64\Ultima\ULTIMA4A.D64 Z:\Retrowares\Commodore 64\Ultima\ULTIMA4B.D64 UNIT 9 Z:\Retrowares\Commodore 64\Ultima\ULTIMA4C.D64 Z:\Retrowares\Commodore 64\Ultima\ULTIMA4D.D64 If I work out how to use ../ -vs- the true path and make this portable I will swing back around and post how. If anyone knows how please let us know. I've created and implemented fliplists for the multi-disk Ultimas, lode runner, mail order monsters, deamonstalkers, and a few programs. This makes it so you just hit alt-n for the next disk -vs- manually doing it from a menu and taking you out of full screen mode. I'm also planning on making a 'collection' fliplist that would allow someone to just explore a collection like they would have back when. Add fastload cartridge or the wedge so they can pull directories.

What are some of the methods you have used to address games with multiple disks?

For some this quote is no different than including racial slurs and other bigoted speech. Should we ignore those things? The hateful ideas of the abrahamic faiths are the only things to 'be afraid of'. My parents were not overly religious; may wish to leave the arm chair stuff behind and not go to the ad hominem. I insulted no one and I will not insult you or others now. All I wanted to do was sector edit the the texted out. I'm not looking to redistribute anything. Yet this text appears to be protected where other text i the file is no. Also; the defense for I could care less is that is a 'i can take it or leave it; it's trivial.' Anything on the bottom of a list is note worthy. Another is the normal bastardization of various phrases. Pilkunnussija Should keep the later in mind and consider the first. (not meant as an insult to anyone)

I tried to hexedit this text to remove the msg. It will run if you remove the 'this program cannot run in dos', but will not run if you modify 1 letter in the bible quote string. This might be the only piece of software I have come across in my life (first computer bring a vic20 in 1981) with a random religious quote in it. Not a fan, dont want to see it when I access that area. Stuck with it until a better option comes around. Unfortunately I paid for the product.

Yeah, this needs to be added to dosbox config area so one can enable/disable all these at the dosbox level and not the game level.

The applewin default command line parameters that worked for me are "-no-printscreen-key -f -d1" This solves the common print screen problem and loads the games from disk.

Selected all the games you wish to reset, choose edit. It will take you to a bulk editor wizard. check and uncheck the date on last played. win!

It appears if a zip has more than one file vice does load"filename",8,1/run -vs load"*",8,1.

I just want he emulator, vice or hoxs, to load "*",8,1. What it does is load the filename of the .d64 file, which is worthless. Generally speaking this is how most experienced commodore users would want things. Anyone have any luck with that. As for the video tutorial... i followed it and no programs would load. They would just open the emulator (hoxs) and not load the program.

Hmm... So... I've had this problem since the beginning (two months)... upgraded today... and now it works. Magic!

They do not appear to unzip. They are i .zip format. The files within are cue bin. ePSXe (-nogui -slowboot -loadbin). Unzipped roms work fine.

Ive tried that and it doesnt work.

Is there a how to for getting launchbox to use zipped or otherwise compressed roms?
