I have made two new releases of the PCUAE Manager: 2.2.0
New features:
- Creation of info slots: New menu item for adding an info slot for the current game view. An info slot is like a title for a Carousel. Info slots are only shown for the view they are created for. It is possible to choose if the gamelist name shall be added as an overlay to the screenshot when adding a new screenshot. Default cover/screenshots are used, they can be edited just like any other game entry.
- A check for a newer version of the PCUAE main install is performed at startup.
- Support for mouse configuration for joystick ports that was added in the 1.6.1 firmware. A new checkbox is added to the joystick configuration panes for choosing mouse.
- A link to the PCUAE Wiki is available in the help menu
- When exporting or importing games or saved states a check is done if a PCUAE USB is currently available on any drive. The import/export dir is chosen automatically if a USB is available.
Fixes:
- Generated .tsg files always use UTF-8 character encoding. Fixes a problem where texts where shown incorrectly in the carousel for specific languages.
2.2.1Fixes: - Info slots for a specific view where shown for other views in some circumstances.
- Info slots are deleted when a gamelist view is deleted from the database.
Please let me know if you find any bugs. Happy new Year!

Hello Lantzelot and happy new year. Thanks for your latest update which I am testing and a strange thing occurs. The carousels I use on my TheC64 Maxi are "Favorites_1", "0 to G", "H to R" and "S to Z". If I start the machine from one of the last three carousels the Info Slot appears to me regularly, but if I start from "Favorites_1" the info slot does not appear only on the latter. After a few swaps between the carousels, suddenly the Info Slot also appears on "Favorites_1". If I turn it off and on it disappears again and the same problem just described starts again but only on "Favorites_1", the other carousels do not present any problem!

PCUAE-1.7.5b8 Released For this to work you need to update the games from PCUAE Manager, you will need to export them again into PCUAE, I just released them in 2.2.2 of PCUAE Manager on the first post. For THEC64 Mini only - in PCUAE v1.7.5b7 - You can now play VIC20 games on the carousel... , if you export the games from PCUAE Manager then when you select a VIC20 Gamelist with Carousel Gamelist Loader, it will automatically switch to the VIC20 Carousel for THEC64 Maxi(Amora) so you can load the games on THEC64 Mini, plus it changes the background music so you know its changed. How it works is by looking to see what Carousel Info Game Slot its on via `/usr/share/the64/games` and its tied to the VIC20 tsg file so if you change the VIC20 first slot(Carousel Info Game Slot) to something else and then the name of its tsg file changes then it will stop working, it looks for its tsg file name then changes the carousel to the VIC20 Carousel and enables the VIC20 fix for THEC64 Mini, before loading the VIC20 Gamelist, if you then load a C64 gamelist then it will be back to normal and on THEC64 Mini(Argent) carousel again. You can switch the VIC20 Carousel on or off too by enabling or disabling it in the Carousel Changer and it will enable it on all THEC64 Maxi Carousels in the Carousel Changer from 1.3.2 to 1.6.1, you might find somethings are not working properly like `Can't read USB stick` and the C64 emulator black screen bug, this is why you can turn it on or off, I could not fix them yet, trying to find out why it acts different in PCUAE and can not workout why.

Hi,
I have a Vic20 1.6.1 and i have a Problem with the pcuae Manager 2.2.2. when i Install the outdated Standalone Version of pcuae the USB Stick works. I ca Boot into the Project Carousel USB.
When i formatted the USB Stick and Install pcuae from the actual pcuae Manager 2.2.2/1.7.5b9 and after that, i Export the Standard Game List and drop all Folders to right Side, i cannot Boot into Project Carousel USB.
It is the same USB Stick and i don't Install modes, Like Linux or Vice, Atari.
What ist my mistake?
Best Regards, SierraFOOL

Got excited when I thought the source code was on GitHub... Any chance of taking a look at it and becoming a contributor?

lantzelotDo you use Log4j and if yes, have you already fixed the security flaw?

lantzelotDo you use Log4j and if yes, have you already fixed the security flaw? I think this ist not necessary, because the C64 Maxi/Mini has noch Network device. Nobody can Use the log4j Security hole to Break in.

lantzelot Do you use Log4j and if yes, have you already fixed the security flaw? Hi, PCUAE Manager uses ch.qos.logback.logback-classic, which is built from log4j 1.x. The security flaw only affects log4j version 2.x, see logback and log4shell. There is a note on a less severe flaw in logback, described here: CVE-2021-42550 The latest version of PCUAE Manager uses version 1.2.3 of logback, so in the next version I will upgrade to 1.2.10 to avoid this problem.

Hi, for me with the 1.7.6b3 release everything seems to be working fine. It seems solved the problem of the Info Slot in the "Favorites" not appearing. Only the bug of audio glitches remains when I select something in the carousel or in the options, but it is a minor problem.

The 1.7.5b5 works good too.
I donate the Devs, after i write this Post.
I have a Competition Pro and Switch the Menu Button to the right Triangle.
But in Vice Mode the Competition Pro Menü Button does Not Work ti Bring Up the Vice Menu.
How can i Change is?
And is it possible to save and load state in the Carousel Mode with a Competition Pro? With the Keyboard, because the Competition Pro has Not enough Buttons.

I finally got there, Thank God... I figured it out in the end... sorry for any inconvenience and PCUAE not working, I can now have a break... You can use TheC64 Joystick for menus and that and the other joystick for playing games and switch the joysticks if your playing a game on the carousel by pressing and holding down Menu Button then A button for port 1 and B button for port 2. You can switch joysticks to in VICE too, in the VICE Config Menu - Machine Settings > Joystick Settings > Swap joystick Ports or press C button on theC64 Joystick while a VICE emulator is running and it will switch ports, if on ports 1 and press it and it will switch to port 2, press the button again and it will change back to port 1, A button is Warp Mode. How you change it, I think you go into the joystick settings in the VICE Config Menu, press Menu button on TheC64 joystick when you have a emulator running and go to Machine settings>Joystick settings>Joystick mapping and press the button on TheC64 Joystick you want to use on the UP, Down, Left, Right and Fire.

Are you talking about... `USB://Carousel_Games/Games/Favorites_1/0FAVORITES10-ms.tsg`? if so it does not matter, its just a generic name for the Favorites 1 tsg info slot file.

I have a question: Is it right, that firmware 1.6.1 supports only 150 games in one carousel and the other lower firmware-version support 255?

Yes, all the carousel versions only hold 150 game slots, I have to hack them so they can hold 255 games, I put the carousel 1.6.1 in PCUAE but have not got round to hacking them so they show 255 games yet, the black screen and PCUAE not booting put me back a bit so have not got round to doing it yet.

I import a lot of games to my PCUAE Manager from another carousel. All these games have a special joystick button configuration. It is possible to reset all joystick configurations of all games im my manager to the standard-configuration? I don't want to reset the port 1 or port 2 as primary joystick.

I've updated to 1.7.6b5, but changing carousels gives me a black screen now (after selecting a carousel), anyone else here have the same problem with that version? The carousel menu also flickers a lot when it comes up.

Post by megabit on Jan 11, 2022 16:52:33 GMT
V1.7.6b5 also behaves exactly like the b3 to me. Only audio glitches and some sporadic freeze when the machine is turned off, which forces me to force the shutdown itself.
