I'm also having no luck yet getting the PRG and TAP files to run using VICE 3.2. I tried GuroDragon's suggestion of using -autostart but have not had any success. I just get a black screen.

Zombeaver states that there is a way at https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/43542-fs-uae-need-help-with-saving-whdload-games/
QuoteBoth saving and save states work with WHDLoad in FS-UAE. Saving itself (as in using standard in-game saving) has always worked, but save states were iffy in the past. I still just use normal saves, but save states work pretty well now that relative temp has been implemented.
You need to go into Settings -> Advanced Settings and add the following lines:
unsafe_save_states = 1
relative_temp_feature = 1Normal saves are still preferred, but I haven't had any issues whenever I've tried save states with these lines.

Here`s the trick - Right click the Vic cartridge game in Launchbox, and choose "Edit". Click on the Emulation tab. Check the box marked "Use Command-line parameters". Type in "-cartgeneric" into that field.
Vic20 cartridges will suddenly work fine in VICE Vic20! I am using Version 3.2.
Another tip, if you're looking for an easy way to exit Vice with the escape key, try the following, which I discovered at https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33372&sid=af3ea6ae0b8c6a35f2278b5d18f69d33
Find the file win_shortcuts.vsc, located in the Vic20 folder and open it with a text editor (for example Notepad).
Add this line to the table:Code:
KEY 27 IDM_EXIT XVice can now be terminated with the Esc key.

Just wondering if there is any progress on making this a simpler process. I have a number of Gamebases and being able to import these would be fantastic...

Regarding the greyed-out parameters, to address this you need to click on the emulation tab on the edit game screen. Click "Use Custom Command Line Parameters" and enter -cartgeneric. I think it's really important to have specific command line parameters for specific games, depending on whether they are cartridges or not (i.e. a single command line parameter will not be useful for everything).
You were mentioning problems with CRT files. What ROMset are you using? I ran a test on the following CRT file from the Gamebase20 V03 which I believe is the most up to date collection of ROMs available.
The file I tested is called
Omega Race (1982)(Commodore)-a000.crt
The version of Vice that I'm using is WinVICE-3.2-x86-r34842
I tried the -autostart again and this time I realized that if I wait long enough on the black flashing screen, the TAP files do in fact work. I wish I knew how I could address the black flashing. I am running VICE full Screen.
