Here comes vice3DS v2.3. Lots of small enhancements, bugfixes - and a bit of performance increase. Gamebase64 launcher works now on O3DS, too!

Installation:
Install CIA with FBI, run 3dsx from homebrew launcher (put 3dsx file in /3ds/vice3DS-C64 dir) or run 3ds from flash card.
Apart from this, a DSP-dump is required for sound to work correctly in the CIA version.

Usage:

Changes to last release are:

  • enhancement: gamebase64 launcher now works on O3DS with reduced database size (and lots of other memory optimizations)
  • enhancement: auto switch to (hopefully) correct joyport/control scheme when starting a game in gamebase64 launcher
  • enhancement: new joystick handling (only 1 joystick, plugable in p1/p2 and switchable between dpad/cpad, B-button = joy up, R-button = autofire)
  • enhancement: auto-switching PAL/NTSC / TDE / Control scheme in gb64 launcher can now be turned off
  • enhancement: soft button positions are now saved in snapshot files when saving configuration
  • enhancement: volume can now be increased to 200%. This will make some games more audible but will most probably result in sound distortions for most games.
  • enhancement: VICE menu cleanup & restructure
  • enhancement: all downloads are a lot faster
  • enhancement: if no fliplist is active, the currently attached image directory or current directory is automatically a fliplist
  • enhancement: cracker group info in gb64 database/screen
  • enhancement: list of "popular" games extended in gamebase64 launcher
  • enhancement: issue UI warnings if true drive emulation is disabled but a program needs it
  • optimization: START button now starts gb64 launcher, moved rs/restore soft button back to top, included "enable mouse" in soft buttons again
  • optimization: removed lots of unused or unnecessary vice code
  • optimization: remove cartridge before autostarting an image if not default cartridge
  • optimization: true drive emulation enabled by default but autostart initially loads without TDE
  • optimization: autostart will not require selecting a file within the image anymore, new menu entry "autostart file in image"
  • optimization: numbers in download/installation progress now better readable
  • optimization: Option to turn off database update prompts in gamebase64 launcher
  • optimization: directory structure for downloaded games now resembles gb64 structure
  • optimization: make statusbar wider & remove keyboard status bar (who needs this anyways?)
  • optimization: Default drive idle method is "None" for N3DS and "Skip cycles" for O3DS
  • optimization: game files are directly downloaded with ftp from 8bitfiles.net, not over http proxy anymore (needs a custom build version of libcurl, @fincs does not want to fix it in devkitARM devkitPro/pacman-packages#130 )
  • bugfix: no more freeze/crash when switching from/to fullscreen multiple times
  • bugfix: last selected file was not always identified correctly in file dialog
  • bugfix: no more crash when restoring default settings on NTSC machine
  • lots of other bugfixes and small enhancements

Have fun!
