Version 1.21 of VICE, the Versatile Commodore Emulator, has been
released.
VICE emulates the Commodore C64, C128, VIC20, PET 8-bit computers,
PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610) and is completely written in C/C++; it
runs on Unix, Win32, MS-DOS, RiscOS, OS/2, BeOS, QNX, AmigaOS and GP2X
systems.
VICE is *free* software released under the GNU General Public License,
and as such it comes with full source code.

This release is quite problematic on my Debian "etch" GNU/Linux.
I have the following symptoms with 1.21:
(1) Accessing menus (gnome UI) prints out the following message to the
shell multiple times (tens of times, in fact):
> << begin quote
Trying to read value from unknown resource `VICIIXRANDRFullscreenMode'.
> << end quote
This is worked around by building without --enable-fullscreen as I don't
use fullscreen anyway.
(2) x128 quits with a signal 11 immediately, before displaying anything in
its window. The last lines before crashing:
> << begin quote
Drive: Finished loading ROM images.
Palette: Loading palette `/usr/lib/vice/C128/vdc_deft.vpl'.
GnomeVideo: Successfully initialized video.
X11: Using private colormap.
GnomeVideo: Successfully initialized video.
Received signal 11.
> << end quote
This doesn't happen since I rebuilt without --enable-fullscreen. Instead,
I get a bunch of these when I access the menus:
> << begin quote
Trying to read value from unknown resource `MMC64_RO'.
Trying to read value from unknown resource `MMC64_bios_write'.
Trying to read value from unknown resource `MMC64_flashjumper'.
Trying to read value from unknown resource `MMC64_revision'.
Trying to read value from unknown resource `MMC64_revision'.
Trying to read value from unknown resource `MMC64'.
> << end quote
(3) VICE displays nothing at startup - see x64 window shot (but note
that this problem is not x64-specific):
http://www.keepmyfile.com/image/3cd9891456117
The emulated screen appears only after I enable "Hardware scaling" AND THEN
disable it. For some reason even though it starts out disabled, it will
not work at startup. Just enabling it doesn't work, the screen appears when
I disable it again.
(4) Additionally, on xvic, if I'm not quick enough to enable and disable
Hardware scaling (I have very few seconds to do so, and it's practically
impossible on a second try as the startup is quicker, possibly because
everything read from the hard disk is in the cache and whatnot), xvic
quits with the error message
> << begin quote
Attempt to draw outside canvas!
XI0 YI0 W0 H-31 CW319 CH1
> << end quote
(5) Finally, when I quit from xcbm2, I get this message
> <<
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0870ac98 ***
> <<
This must be the most new problems I've ever encountered with VICE in a
single-step update. o.o I have reverted to 1.20 for the time being.
Any insight? Would you need any further detail?

German keyboard should not be the default. (Y/Z reversed)
Using x64.120.exe: in vice.ini I have
KeymapIndex=2
and uses
KeymapPosFile="win_pos.vkm"
while
KeymapIndex=1
uses
KeymapSymDeFile="win_sym_de.vkm"
Using x64.121.exe: in vice.ini I have
KeymapIndex=2
and uses
KeymapSymDeFile="win_sym_de.vkm"
while
KeymapIndex=1
uses
KeymapPosFile="win_pos.vkm"
was it necessary to change this ? =)

On the Mac versions, the Plus/4 emulator won't load at all. Everything
else seems to be working properly and the new features are awesome. VICE
gets more and more impressive with each subsequent version.
Nice job, VICE Team. You guys never fail to amaze.

Yes, this is a bug. The GUI does not match the internal resources. As
workaround you can select positional mapping manually and save
settings. Then it will behave like all win32 releases before.
We will fix this in the next release of course.

Thanks for replying, already did like this to work it around.

Let's wait for the next update then.

A feature is a bug with seniority.

Is that all 1571? I use DD2 without any "support" for years now in the
emulated 1541.

Also,
for a version or two I have some problems with binaries I compile from
sources.
1. It seems that the emulators have problems finding the roms and other
resources (located in /usr/local/lib/vice/emulatorname/) Without vicerc
file they don't even start. When I give the vicerc file and full paths
they do start but..
2. When I configure things and save the settings, the resulting vicerc
file becomes no longer valid for the very same program that just wrote
the file. The emulator starts complaining:
Reading configuration file `/Users/silverdr/.vice/vicerc'.
Cannot assign value to resource `VICIIExternalPalette'.
/Users/silverdr/.vice/vicerc:
Invalid resource specification at line 110.
Cannot assign value to resource `VICIINewLuminances'.
/Users/silverdr/.vice/vicerc:
Invalid resource specification at line 113.
Unknown resource `openGL_sync'.
/Users/silverdr/.vice/vicerc:
Unknown resource specification at line 270.
Unknown resource `openGL_no_sync'.
/Users/silverdr/.vice/vicerc:
Unknown resource specification at line 271.
Cannot set defaults.
The machine is running OS X 10.4. Anyone with similar symptoms and easy
solution?

Seems that the emulator looks for the file in more or less "strange"
places like several subdirectories of "bin"...
3537 x64 NAMI "/usr/local/bin/../ROM/C64/kernal"
3537 x64 NAMI "/usr/local/bin/C64/kernal"
3537 x64 NAMI "/Users/silverdr/.vice/C64/kernal"
3537 x64 NAMI "/usr/local/bin/../ROM/DRIVES/kernal"
3537 x64 NAMI "/usr/local/bin/DRIVES/kernal"
3537 x64 NAMI "/Users/silverdr/.vice/DRIVES/kernal"
3537 x64 NAMI "/usr/local/bin/../ROM/PRINTER/kernal"
3537 x64 NAMI "/usr/local/bin/PRINTER/kernal"
3537 x64 NAMI "/Users/silverdr/.vice/PRINTER/kernal"
.... but not the one it installs the data files to.
The sources were configured with no extra options. Just
configure ; make ; make install

Hm, I probably can do several things to help it find the files but I am
wondering if that's a bug in the autoconf setup or something. I recall
that two or three versions back it "just worked".

VICE looks for data files in three places:
1) Where it thinks that VICE is installed.
2) Where it would find the build tree's "DATA/" sub-directories,
if you had launched VICE through a link, in that location.
3) Where your personal configuration files for VICE are.
[P.S. A little note to the VICE team: that order is backwards. VICE
should find our personal files first, the (new) build files second, and the
(old) installed files last. Without that fix, we are unable to substitute
our own pallettes and key-maps (for example), or to test a new build of the
programs (before installing them).]

The change was made in version 1.20 of VICE (in "src/arch/unix/archdep.c").
Read "doc/ReadmeMacOSX.txt"; it tells about the shell scripts that you
should use to build and install "MacVICE".

Thank you for the reply. I already exchanged some e-mail messages with
the osx version maintainer and my problems are solved for the time
being. Also some improvements for the future were promised ;-)
