I tried Pong with it, and it emulates paddles (!) as described in the docs, but unfortunately the emulator speed is VERY variable, making it unplayable. :cry:
I've also tried "Pong" in "Pfau-Zeh".....same problems.....BUT
then I've tried the Cartridge "Super-Smash" !!! IT WORKS VERY NICE IN PFAU ZEH :D :D 8)

Thank you all for your replies ! :wink:

"Pong" is a two-player-Game. So I have to use Numblock 1+3 for Paddle 1 and Numblock 7 +9 for Paddle 2. And then the Game "hangs" for one or two seconds......before the Paddle moved again.

By playing "Super Smash" (one player) I only used Numblock 1+3 for Paddle 1.
No problems here..... :roll:
Hope you understand me :wink:

Pong is not only a two-player-Game, my last Pong version allow to play alone by changing the Play Mode using F1 Key from the Title Screen.

I've tested Pong in one player mode using Pfau-Zeh and even is not fluid like on real machines it is quite playable.

Oh, sorry :wink:

Haven't seen it.....and yes, you are right. The one-player-Game is also playable like "Super Smash" :)

For instance, I think there are some improvements to the 2MHz 128 emulation being added into the next version. I suspect they would be willing to integrate the type of code eslapion was talking about.
I was talking about code??

In a manner of speaking, yes, when you wrote:

In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.

The paddles, was emulated via mouse by the oldest of the VIC's emulators, PCVic. And I think this is a important fault in WinVICE.
