I say update. The last release was three years ago and presumably 0.3 will be around for quite some time before 0.4 or whatever. That's not a bad timescale to expect people to upgrade to newer builds of software... I mean, it's not like iTunes and it's daily updates is it? :P

BTW: Are there any rumblings of an ETA for Vice 2.4? I see a lot of dev builds floating around but the official site looks to be abandoned.

Vice 2.4 said Nov 16th. I believe Sourceforge is the official site for Vice now...

Just wondering if you had an ETA for the new gamebase .3 release Mayhem? VICE 2.4 is out now and looking pretty solid. Really looking forward to it!

well, for me.....i have a problem with VICE 2.4
maybe someone here can confirm this :
The Option "Double scan" don't work for me.....
nothing happens when enable it :?
The screen looks a little "softly" / "out of focus"
On i.e. VICE 2.1 the screen is more sharp by using "double scan"

do you have the same result ?

Are you using a Render Filter, maybe? I like to disable it under Settings-Video Settings-VIC Render Filter and set it to "None".

Otherwise it always helps to start a new VICE-version with a fresh vice.ini-file, i.e. deleting the old one and let it create a new one on its own.

Mayhem is a vintner... no "whine" before its time. :twisted:
And each incremental point release past 2.4 has been superb. I am a bit too giddy over the new UI threads option and the Tape Control.
Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

A pile of new games has gone in since Xmas, so it's still all go, go, go.

I've also got Bo dumping a pile of his collection that needs doing as well, but that will all wait for the following release.

I might go through my directory of "what's still to add" and see what I can shove into the database, and then see about preparing a release for next month...

Okay... I've made a release package. I've asked Robert if he can host it again, we'll proceed from there :)
