I found out why games beginning with an "a" wouldn´t load. vice was expecting that every game beginning with an "a" was located in an "a" folder, whereas gamebase 3 had 2 different a folders, "a1" and "a2". Does this mean that mine v3 is a different v3 than everybody´s else? I also think it worked fine in vice v4 (or then again not, if the games didn´t load i might just tought it is beacuse vice v4 didn´t support gamebase v3...)

Well apparently there is an a1-a2, b1-b2, c1-c2, d1-d2, m1-m2, p1-p2, S1-S3 ,and a t1-t2 as well..

But the original version 1 gamebase has numbered directories as well...

So are you sure?

Yep, i´m sure, and those other numbered directories works fine. By opening the games.dat file located in vice64x_v7/gamebase/ in a text editor you can see that every game beginning with an "a" is expected to be located in a single folder only!

Ah, yes! Finally SID-Music is playing again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Another Question:
Have played around with mp3-playback, created an m3u-file and it plays well.
However, i do wonder if there are any controls mapped to the controller
for next/prev song or something like that.

I couldn't find anything in the readme.
Is there a way to auto-launch the m3u-file instead of thelastv8.mp3 ?

Maybe someone knows something about it?

Thx (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

For gamebase v3 the folders are "\gamebase\games\...

And these are created with gb64_xboxrename.exe.

Just for completion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Now this is getting confusing, isn´t the gb64_rename.exe just for renaming the screenshots, that´s what i´m been using it for... Anyhow, reading the readme a little closer i found out that the gamebase.dat had to be replaced with the one in the zipped file if using gamebase3, so, life really would be easier if reading the instructions...

You're right gb64_rename.exe is for the screenies, sorry missed that.
But the DIR-letters are right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Sorry.

Yeah, that might help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I actually thought v03 pics were supposed to be in .png format, but then when I read more closely I realized that only applies to v04 which is not out yet. I finished aquiring v03 today but wont be able to get it over to my xbox for a few days.

I'd rather call it a fix... since SIDs worked before.

but, oh well... Timestamp - nice! What's next?

Have anybody got Enforcer - Fullmetal Megablaster from Gamebase v03 to work ?
I have tried with true drive emulation but it still refuses to load.

Hot Wheels also from GB64 v03 randomly crashes but I'm not sure that's a VICE64X specific problem because I haven't tested it with WinVICE.

What version of VICE is this excellent port based on ?
