Item description:

TimRex has released VICE (Versatile Commodore Emulator) for PS3 release 1.0, which is a C64, PLUS4 and VIC20 emulator for PS3 JailBreak users.

* Full-speed emulation

* Audio enabled (FastSID)

* Fullscreen support, 16:9, 4:3

* Video filters, with preview

* Autoload

* Warp Mode (Achieves ~ 350-700% actual speed)

* On-Screen Keyboard (partial support).

* Keyboard Support (partially implemented).

* Supports all known (uncompressed) formats (.d64 .d71 .d80 .d81 .d82 .g64 .g41 .x64 .t64 .tap .prg .p00)

START - Menu/Configuration

TRIANGLE - Mapped to keyboard for 'Y'

CIRCLE - Mapped to keyboard for 'N' - Doubly mapped to 'UP' (See note 1)

SQUARE - Mapped to keyboard for

L1 - Mapped to keyboard for 'F1'

L2 - Mapped to keyboard for 'F3'

R1 - Mapped to keyboard for 'F5'

R2 - Mapped to keyboard for 'F7'

L2 + R2 - Warp Mode

*1 The CIRCLE button has been doubly mapped to the joystick 'UP' direction. This is useful for platform style games where the UP direction indicates a JUMP action. Clearly a difference in design aesthetics between joysticks and control pads, this might be more desirable.

Known Issues

- Compressed formats currently NOT supported (.zip .bz2 .gz .d6z .d7z .d8z .g6z .g4z .x6z)

- On-Screen-Keyboard is not fully mapped yet. Some keys will register incorrectly, if at all.

- Actual Keyboard support not fully implemented, but good enough for the minute.

- Does not save settings / configuration

Source code to be made available pending some serious cleanup and refactoring.

Thanks go out to Squarepusher, Shinhalsafar, Cm0nkey, Airmaker for their hard work on the Snes9x PS3 port, and their cellFramework library. This work also incorporates their menu system and config UI. Also to the original VICE team for creating a solid and well maintained codebase to work with.
