How to change load option (retroarch-Vice) for c64


chrisbati

Recommended Posts

Hello,

newbie with launchbox, retroarch and vice 😀

When I start a c64 game from launchbox (using retroarch and vice), I have an issue with games  that require a slightly different loading method than the common one (LOAD"*",8,1 RUN).
For some game I have to put the name of the file to load.
I managed to create an .opt file for the game, but don't know what to change in it to give specific load option.

Could someone help me ?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards,

Chrisbati

Thanks for your answer.
Yes I have tried that, but didn't work, not sure how to I have to do.

I created a blank txt file with:

C64Game.d64:FOCUS

I saved it and changed the txt extension with m3u.

Not sure what to do with this file, I tried to use it as a "rom" file and play it with Launchbox, didn't worked.

I trie to use the command in the parameters line, didn't work.

I hear your problem but I also do not have a proper solution.
If it were up to me I would just download Zombeaver's collection and go with that. All the work has already been done, and if you want to add games to it, customize it, then it is easy to find out how to do.

Maybe not a direct answer to your question but in the end,...it serves the same purpose.

I did a test.

I created an m3u file with the following contents :

Disk1.d64:archipel.+5h/rem

The game I am running is called archipelago and from the list contents of the d64 disk you can see why I use the 'archipel.+5h/rem' command in the m3u file

Then I run Retroarch and load the C64 VICE core

Then Load Content.

Browse to the m3u file and select it

As u can see the LOAD command is passed correctly to the core

And the game runs fine
