Bitmap printer output in VICE

[srowe]

Can someone give me the correct command line to get a BMP file of the printer output? I've tried

Code: Select all

$ xvic -memory none -iecdevice4 -device4 1 -pr4drv mps803 -pr4output graphics -pr4txtdev 0 -prtxtdev1 /tmp/output

but no file is written. I'm sure I had this working with an older version of VICE, currently running 3.4.

This could be your problem:

https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/bugs/1281/

You might want to check it out and add any new info. The devs are starting a push to do the next release by the end of the year.

did you trigger a formfeed and/or close the emulator? else no output is produced.

Closed VICE, no file is created.

[groepaz]

I am investigating this ... apparently "iecdevice" actually never worked with xvic. Try to enable virtual device traps (-virtualdev), that should make it work (please confirm).

[srowe]

That seems to work, I get the following output from VICE

Code: Select all

Serial Interface: Error - Flush printer #4,0 while closed - ignoring.
Serial Interface: Auto-opening printer #4,0.

and a bitmap file created.

I did get the following when I quit VICE

Code: Select all

Exiting...
Sound: Closing device `pulse'
corrupted double-linked list
Aborted (core dumped)

I'll see if it's reproducible.

I'll run it through valgrind.

[edit]

Looks like there's some problems in the printer shutdown code

[groepaz]

so what *exactly* did you do?

edit: nvm, i can reproduce it

edit++: thehell, and now i cant anymore. please tell! and please provice a commandline starting with -default

[srowe]

VICE built with --enable-native-gtk3ui --with-pulse --enable-cpuhistory, run with

Code: Select all

xvic -memory none -virtualdev -iecdevice4 -device4 1 -pr4drv mps803 -pr4output graphics -pr4txtdev 0 -prtxtdev1 test_output

Enter the following program

Code: Select all

10OPEN4,4
20PRINT#4,"TESTING"
30CLOSE4

then quit VICE, poof.

[groepaz]

thats not enough to reproduce it reliably... for some reason it worked (as in crashed) exactly once for me, subsequent tests work fine (no crash). thats why i asked for a commandline starting with -default and please test it a few times (preferably by autostarting your little test program, so i dont have to type it all the time)

made a ticket about it for the time being: https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/bugs/1336/

[srowe]

-autostart and -autoload affect the reproducibility for me too, it only happens when I type the program in.

[groepaz]

try the next nightly build, it should be fixed in r38886

[srowe]

I created a patch with the fix from svn, it now doesn't crash.

[groepaz]

sounds good
