Working through LaunchBox and VICE emulator configs for Commodore 64 game emulation
A fresh install of Windows and software for emulating and playing old installs from my software collection and third parties like Steam and GOG
Let’s compare different dosbox shaders and see if we can make modern gaming look old again.
To make the miniature floppy drive LED light up when VICE is using the virtual disk image, we need to patch VICE source code and write some new code to pass instructions on to the PI and toggle the LED activity light.
Let’s download, compile, and install the VICE Commodore 64 emulator on a fresh Raspberry Pi 4 install. We’ll make sure it works in a non windows console by running a Commodore demo program.
A ‘working’ diorama of my 1980s Commodore 128/64 computer room, with mirrored LCD display monitor and working 1541 disk drive lights. Driven by a Raspberry PI, custom circuit board, and VICE C64 emulator. Additional flavor added in the form of miniature floppy disks, game boxes, and wall posters, advertisements, and game maps from my youth.
