Hi! I need to find a way to run pcvic as an emulator of the vic 20 so I
can properly read the paddles (analogue controller at least as far as
the knob goes) but when I do I get garbage (it actually looks like
characters from an arcade game for some reason and the placement of the
characters are correct - i.e. the only problem is the characters are
unreadable except by reading it with experience with the startup screen
with commodore computers) and I have tried several different sources
for the character files (i.e. funet and the web) with no differences
experienced (its as if pcvic will not actually load the character
file). I tried earlier versions of pc vic and the ones made before the
video bug fix worked acceptably except there is no sound support as far
as I know and I need both sound support and paddle support. I would use
vice20 but there is no paddle support in that software as far as I
know. Any help would be appreciated - thanks at the very least for your
time, later!
