One can choose to display the compete border if one uses the Vice version from one of the topics in these Forums (can't find the topic anymore). You have to boot into "Linux mode" (X Windows Mod, XWM) then if I'm not mistaken. I'd like to do that per default. Does anybody know where those settings files for The C64 are? You can start The C64 in XWM mode ( link to topic) and then you can edit the files on The C64 (might brick The C64). I want to use The C64 w/ a 4:3 monitor. Currently that's not possible because 16:9 mode is forced making the image weird and squished. Also some games use the border for keeping score etc. Part of the border is always overscanned, no matter if you force the emulator to Full Height or "Vertical display shift". |

What... you want to boot into XWM from boot up(from starting up the machine)..?, funny thing is, I am put that into PCUAE at the moment, I just added a way of adding Vice and boot it from boot up, boot up a emulator, you be able to select from 7 emulators to boot up from, its called VICE Mode.

You should be able to configure Vice as you want as it will be on the USB stick in the next version.

No. I might not have been clear about this. I do not want to boot into XWM and neither into PCUAE. I was wondering where Retro Games Ltd. hid the configuration files for The C64 and the emulator. I want to connect a 4:3 monitor and I want the full border to be shown. |

I'm afraid I can't help you on the resolution. But, for what it's worth, I did manage to change the emulator's stock palette by amending the following file: /usr/lib/vice/C64/theC64-palette.vpl
So I'd look in the /usr/lib/vice/C64 directory first.

It occurs to me that it might be useful if there was an option within PCUAE to enable the entire contents of the nandb partition to be copied to an external USB drive. You could then overmount everything on nandb (from the root down) to the USB drive and effectively run the entire firmware (apart from the kernel) from a USB drive.
This would make it safer and easier to carry out the type of modification requested in this thread, as you could just change the relevant file on the USB drive. As a bonus, it would also save wear and tear on the internal NAND chip.

AFAIK you can't really change the resolution on the Maxi in a configuration file, the 1280x720 is hardcoded. Or at least it is in the Carousel source v1.0.5 (which is actually for the Mini):

I'm afraid I can't help you on the resolution. But, for what it's worth, I did manage to change the emulator's stock palette by amending the following file: /usr/lib/vice/C64/theC64-palette.vpl
So I'd look in the /usr/lib/vice/C64 directory first.
(no e-mail about this post was sent again) Thanks. Indeed the settings for the keymaps and palette are there. On my Linux computer, Vice's settings for the screen et cetera are in /home/my_name/.vice/vicerc. In that file is an entry called "VICIIFullscreen=0" which probably determines if the full border is displayed or not (e.g. for the game Mega Phoenix). I cant find a file named "vicerc" anywhere on the NAND. I suspect The C64 has its settings in the file /var/lib/the64/profile/0/settings.dat but the file is only 76 Bytes in size (!). There aren't even settings in /etc/ for X (the graphical system) and the resolution of the machine itself. Strange. I'd like the machine to boot in a 4:3 resolution so that I can use it w/ a 4:3 monitor (wouldn't we all?). @ jj0: thanks for that info. So there ain't no config file for the resolution of The C64 on the HDMI output. Hard set to 1280x720. Hmmm. Bummer. |

You can change the (framebuffer) resolution by using the fbset command, but the Carousel will probably still try to use 1280x720. I haven't tried it. You can see an example in my 'full blown VICE' post. The THE64 VICE uses the /root/vicerc or /root/.vicerc I don't quite remember which one but if you search on posts by me with the word vicerc you should find the right thread. THE64 doesn't use Xorg at all that's why you don't find any X setting files. AFAIK it uses a layer on top of OpenGL ES called Flashlight. |

A vicerc file will not work with the carousel, all its settings are in its settings.dat file thats encrypted, that where its 50/60hz settings and what computer model C64/VIC20 you want to use and if you want to boot it into Carousel Mode or Classic Mode.

As a bonus, it would also save wear and tear on the internal NAND chip. You would need to hack its kernal to boot from the USB Stick and the USB Stick would have 2 partitions on it, one ext4 and the other one FAT32 then copy nandb to ext4 partition then get the kernel to boot from that partition, or make a img of nandb and mount it as chroot, like XWM. All mini consoles that have been hacked have had there firmware changed or reflashed so your lucky you don't have to do that with PCUAE, everything PCUAE does is on the USB Stick, the only file it copies to the firmware is the Autoboot Start-Up file if you want to Autoboot PCUAE Mode, VICE Mode or Linux Mode. |

Yes it stores setting for Carousel Mode and Classic Mode and properly has the settings for vice too, but you can not open it, it encrypted so can not see inside it, the settings.dat file is properly its vicerc file, the Carousel created it, if you reset the machine it delete it and has to make a new one.
All its settings are in that file, 50/60hz,langauge settings, Boot Mode order, Computer Model, Classic Mode or Carousel Mode.
What you see on the screen is Flashlight the whole thing is made from it, the closes thing I have come across that maybe like it is Adobe Flash, why I say Flash cause the carousel is made up of different layers on the screen like in Flash, Flash has different Layers too but you have a UI so can put image were you want them, with Flashlight you have to tell it where each image goes, you have to do it all in C in Flashlight, a lot harder.

Just waiting cause I want a Help Menu for it in PCUAE Options Menu, so you do not have to look online to find out how to do something in it. |

Insert PCUAE stick Power on TheC64 Run fake firmware Press Menu and right fire on joystick Set autoboot PCUAE will now run every time the USB is inserted You can soon also be able to choose any 1 of 7 machines to boot in Vice instead of Carousel. You can also disable the Boot logo to get power on black screen then straight into a Vice emulation so it looks close to old hardware. |

Just waiting cause I want a Help Menu for it in PCUAE Options Menu, so you do not have to look online to find out how to do something in it. I'd like you to send me a link to try your latest PCUAE version. I finally figured out how to install it. See my posts on page 59 of this topic. But if you send me PCUAE could you do it in a regular Zip file and not a Windows thingy (self extracting archive)? I don't use Windows. I want to try using PCUAE that starts in Vice. B.T.W. I DO NOT use the Carousel Mode. Hate it with a passion. I like my C64 to look like the real thing. Sorry... P.S. In PCUAE that I'm testing right now I cannot return to the emulator if I entered the Menu with "Control + F7" and choose "Close PCU options menu". It reboots the machine or something. It's still all very, very confusing to me... PCU is really meant for hard core Carousel lovers I'm afraid. |

PCUAE is for both Carousel and Vice users.
The next version will allow you to boot to either.
It is being tested.
One problem with Vice under PCUAE being fixed is that changing cursor colour with CTRL+1 launched the PET etc.
I saw your keyboard mapping comment - it will get ironed out.

Just waiting cause I want a Help Menu for it in PCUAE Options Menu, so you do not have to look online to find out how to do something in it. I'd like you to send me a link to try your latest PCUAE version. I finally figured out how to install it. See my posts on page 59 of this topic. But if you send me PCUAE could you do it in a regular Zip file and not a Windows thingy (self extracting archive)? I don't use Windows. I want to try using PCUAE that starts in Vice. B.T.W. I DO NOT use the Carousel Mode. Hate it with a passion. I like my C64 to look like the real thing. Sorry... P.S. In PCUAE that I'm testing right now I cannot return to the emulator if I entered the Menu with "Control + F7" and choose "Close PCU options menu". It reboots the machine or something. It's still all very, very confusing to me... PCU is really meant for hard core Carousel lovers I'm afraid. I PMed you a message to download PCUAE 1.4.4, are you using that version yet...? download the latest version 1.4.4d24. They are not Windows Installers, they are WinRAR SFX installers so they are a achieve with its own installer, you can unzip them with 7zip, you can do the same thing with 7zip. |

I replied: I'm trying it out. FYI, I succeeded in outputting the full border but only by using the "full blown Vice" mod and modding it a bit further. See this topic. To make a long story short: in the file vice/run_vice.sh on your USB stick change the resolution from 950x544 to 1024x576 by changing this: amora | snowbird | ares)
# Experimentally achieved values for correct aspect ratio for the Maxi
# Should work for the THEVIC-20 too.
XRES=950
YRES=544

YRES=576
Then in Vice's menu do: "Video settings -> VICII border mode -> Full". |

could you use the vicerc from the windows version of VICE so from PCU Game Manager or does need to be one from the Linux version..?
Your BOB is great!
