6 Machine-specific features

6.1 C64/128-specific commands and settings

This section lists the settings and commands that are C64/128 specific and thus are not present in the other emulators.

6.1.1 Using cartridges

Generally a cartridge can be enabled by attaching its respective cartridge image, or using the respective menu option for cartridges that do not require an image.

Cartridge images are like disk images, but contain the contents of cartridge ROM and/or RAM images instead of disk images. Two kinds of cartridge images are supported:

Use cartconv to convert .bin images to .crt format.

To attach cartridges, use the "Attach a cartridge image" submenu. When using `.crt' images, this will work for every cartridge which is supported. For raw `.bin' images you will have to select the correct type of cartridge first, or use command line options.

When you have successfully attached a cartridge image, you should then reset the machine to make sure the cartridge initializes itself. (Or enable the "reset on cartridge change" option).

Of course, it is also possible to detach a currently attached cartridge image ("Detach cartridge image").

If you are using a freezer cart like an Action Replay cartridge, you can emulate the cartridge's freeze button with the "Cartridge freeze" command.

The cartridge system is organized in "Slots" to allow more than one cartridge connected at a time, like it can be done using an expansion port expander on a real C64 (see below).

The imaginary expansion port expander is organized in 4 slots, the cartridges are associated with them like this:

6.1.1.1 Slot 0

All carts that have a passthrough connector go here. Once a "Slot 0" cartridge is enabled all further cartridges are connected to its respective passthrough port.

Only one cartridge of this type can be active at a time.

"Slot 0" carts have individual "enable" switches, enabling means enabling permanently.

The following cartridges are emulated in this slot:

6.1.1.2 Slot 1

Mostly RAM based cartridges which for one reason or the other might make sense to be enabled together with one of the "Main Slot" cartridges go here.

Only one cartridge of this type can be active at a time.

"Slot 1" carts have individual "enable" switches, enabling means enabling permanently

The following cartridges are emulated in this slot:

6.1.1.3 Main Slot

All other cartridges which are not pure i/o extensions go here.

Only one cartridge of this type can be active at a time.

Cartridges in the "Main Slot" must be explicitly set as default to enable them permanently.

The following cartridges are emulated in this slot:

6.1.1.4 I/O Slot

All carts that are pure I/O extensions go here.

Any number of "I/O Slot" Carts may be active at a time.

"I/O Slot" carts have individual "enable" switches, enabling means enabling permanently.

The following cartridges are emulated in this slot:

6.1.1.5 Expected behaviour

When the emulator is run without arguments, all settings from the config file should be applied and arguments override settings from the config file.

When saving the settings to the config file it is expected that on the next run of the emulator all settings will be in the same state as they were when saved.

There is an exception to this rule: the cartridge in the "Main Slot" must be explicitly set as default before it gets saved to the config file.

+cart should disable ALL cartridges, including eventually activated REU, Swiftlink and all similar expansionport devices.

-cartXYZ options should generally attach AND activate a cart of type XYZ. As a consequence, attaching carts this way which are NOT in the "Main Slot" will also enable the cart permanently.

6.1.1.6 Common problems

If attaching a cartridge does not work as expected, this may be because of various reasons:

6.1.1.7 IEEE-488 interface

To be able to use an IEEE drive, you need to enable an IEEE interface for the emulator. You can use the Commodore IEEE-488 interface, or the Skyles Electric Works IEEE Flash! 64 interface.

To use the Commodore interface, follow these steps:

Download the IEEE 488 ROM image from the CBM archives (formerly known as FUNET) Attach that image with File/Attach cartridge image/IEEE488 interface image.

Make sure you have a one-drive system only (that is, go to Settings/Peripheral Setting, uncheck "use IEC device" for all devices, go to Settings/Drive Settings and select "Floppy type" as "none" for all drives other than drive 8.

After this, all drives can be selected in x64 and x128.

To use the IEEE Flash! 64 interface, follow these steps:

Download the IEEE Flash! 64 ROM image (uploaded to the CBM archives but not yet in place). Set the path to the ROM image using the UI under Cartridges/IEEE Flash! 64 settings, the commandline argument -ieeeflash64image, or the IEEEFlash64Image resource setting. Then you can Enable the interface and choose which devices to route to the IEEE bus using the other IEEE Flash! 64 settings. With this interface, you can mix and match IEC and IEEE drives.

6.1.1.8 The Final Cartridge 3

The Final Cartridge 3 detects whether a mouse is connected when it starts and disables mouse support if it doesnt detect one. So to make mouse emulation work you must either enable it on the command line, or reset the cartridge after enabling it from the user interface.

6.1.1.9 CMD RAMLink

The CMD RAMLink can operate standalone using its own RAMCard or with an REU, GEORAM, or RAMDrive (only one) which is inserted into the RAM port. The RAMLink is essentially a builtin high capacity RAMDOS with battery backup support. This "backup" support can be emulated through the use of images. Initially it will "format" the memory so each has their own native parition on drive 16. Paritions and the device number can be changed with the CMD "RAM-tools". The latest RAMLink firmware (2.01) can not handle REU sizes greater than 8 MiB, or GEORAM sizes beyond 2 MiB, as the firmware will hang on size detection.

The RAMLink also features a parallel port (similar to IEEE-488 interface) which allows faster transfers to the CMD HD series drives. The "cabling" is automatically performed by VICE and the RAMLink firmware will detect the cable presence and use it automatically. However, some programs may have compatibility issues (notably the CMD HD-tools with older HD boot roms). When connecting an empty image, or an image without a HD-DOS signature, the cable will be automatically disconnected. Although documented in the RAMLink manual, the JiffyDOS command "@P0" to disable, or "@P1" to enable parallel transfers will hang as they try to communicate the HD boot rom and fail. To resolve this, use the "Drive#ParallelCable" or command line switch "-parallel#" and set it to 0, to disable transfers; any other value will enable them.

The RAMLink features an "Enable/Disable" switch that can be changed at anytime using the GUI options. Prior to disabling, the JiffyDOS "@Q" command should be issued to remove the JiffyDOS system vectors. See the manual for how to reactivate JiffyDOS. It is not recommended to change the REU, GEORAM, or RAMCard size as the CMD RAMDOS was not designed to detect this. Any changes should be followed by a machine reset.

The RAMLink also has a "Normal/Direct" switch which can also be changed at anytime. Normal, the default, only allows RAMLink access to the RAM port (REU, GEORAM, and RAMDrive); their registers are hidden otherwise. Direct exposes their registers all the time. This can lead to potential data corruption of the data on the RAM expansion devices as RAMLink can not guarantee its access is exclusive.

RAMLink is also compatible with the CMD SuperCPU 64, however it requires the official SuperCPU ROM (2.04) along with the RAMLink ROM to properly detect and utilize all the RAMLink features.

6.3 C64DTV-specific commands and settings

This section lists the settings and commands that are C64DTV specific and thus are not present in the other emulators.

6.3.1 C64DTV ROM image

The DTV has a 2MiB Flash chip which contains the kernal, basic and character set ROMs along with other data, such as games in the case of the original C64DTV ROM.

The image file is a dump of the flash chip. It is exactly 2MiB (2097152 bytes).

If you do not have a suitable image file, an image using the C64 kernal, basic and charset is automatically created.

If writing to the C64DTV ROM is enabled, the image file is rewritten with the current data when exiting x64dtv.

Note that x64dtv tries to load the image file from the C64DTV directory first, and if it isn't found there, x64dtv tries to load it from the current directory. If you do not have `dtvrom.bin' in your C64DTV directory and writing to DTV ROM is enabled, the `dtvrom.bin' file is created to the current directory.

NOTE: The original C64DTV ROM has somewhat distorted colors, normally you should use a patched rom.

-palv2romimage <name>
Specify filename of the C64DTV PAL v2 ROM image (DTVPALV2FlashName).

6.3.2 DTV revision

The DTV revision 2 has a bug in the Blitter. Using revision 3 is recommended. Emulation of DTV revision 2 including Blitter bug is intended for testing DTV software.

-dtvrev <revision>
Specify DTV revision (DtvRevision). (2: DTV2, 3: DTV3)

6.3.3 LumaFix

The PAL C64DTVs have wrong resistors in the video output circuit, which causes incorrect luminances. Several hardware solutions ("LumaFixes") have been developed to fix this flaw.

The fixed video output is emulated by selecting "New Luminances". The unmodified C64DTV video output can be emulated with "Old Luminances".

The default setting is "New Luminances".

6.3.4 Userport

The C64DTV userport emulation currently supports three devices: Hummer ADC, userport joystick and PS/2 mouse.

The joystick that controls either the Hummer ADC or userport joystick can be selected using the same parameter or menu option.

While using the Hummer ADC, joystick UP and DOWN are mapped to the Hummer buttons A and B respectively. LEFT and RIGHT set the ADCs output to 0 and 255. Centering the joystick results in the ADC value of 128.

Currently the Hummer ADC and userport joystick are mutually exclusive. This means that enabling one disables the other. PS/2 mouse emulation can be used simultaneously with either Hummer ADC or userport joystick.

-hummeradc
+hummeradc
Enable/Disable Hummer ADC (HummerADC=1, HummerADC=0).
-ps2mouse
+ps2mouse
Enable/disable PS/2 mouse on userport (ps2mouse=1, ps2mouse=0).

6.3.5 Debug

Debugging information on Blitter, DMA and Flash can be enabled with command line parameters. This can be useful for DTV software development.

-dtvblitterlog
+dtvblitterlog
Enable or disable DTV Blitter log
-dtvdmalog
+dtvdmalog
Enable or disable DTV DMA log
-dtvflashlog
+dtvflashlog
Enable or disable DTV Flash log

6.3.6 Monitor DTV features

Currently the registers A, Y and X are registers R0, R1 and R2 regardless of the mapping, which can be seen and modified via the registers ACM and XYM.

The monitor can access all 2MiB of RAM and 2MiB of Flash, but only 64 KiB at a time. The 64KiB bank can be selected with "bank ram00".."ram1f" for RAM and "bank rom00".."rom1f" for Flash.

The "load" command can load large files (>64KiB) correctly if the bank is set to "ramXX", where XX is the starting bank (usually "bank00").

6.5 VIC20-specific commands and settings

This section lists the settings and commands that are VIC20-specific and thus are not present in the other emulators.

6.5.1 Using prg files

It's not alway easy to get VIC-20 games to work due to its different configurations. To run VIC-20 games, you can try the following:

6.5.2 Using cartridge images

As with the C64 (see section 6.1.1 Using cartridges), it is possible to attach several types of cartridge images:

This can all be done via the "Attach cartridge image..." command in the menu. It is also possible to let xvic "guess" the type of cartridge using "Smart-attach cartridge image...".

Notice that several cartridges are actually made up of two pieces (and two files), that need to be loaded separately at different addresses. In that case, you have to know the addresses (which are usually specified in the file name) and use the "attach" command twice.

Also notice that surprisingly often it is required for the user to start VIC20 cartridges manually by typing a BASIC "SYS" command.

A special kind of cartridge file is where the two files mentioned above are concatenated (with removing the two byte load address of the second image) into one 16KiB image. Vice can attach such concatenated files at the start address $2000, $4000, and $6000. The second half of such an image is moved to the memory block following the first block. It is also possible to concatenate four 8KiB files, the resulting file will load into all 4 cartridge blocks.

If you encounter 16KiB images that have the second half at eg $A000 you can split the image into two halfs (i.e. one 8194 byte and one 8192 byte, because the first has the load address) and attach both files separately. Alternatively you can create a 32KiB file with padding blocks in between.

One cartridge that is currently only partially supported here is the VIC1112 IEEE488 interface. You have to load the ROM as a cartridge, but you also have to enable the IEEE488 hardware by menu.

6.5.5 Changing memory configuration

It is possible to change the VIC20 memory configuration in two ways: by enabling and/or disabling certain individual memory blocks, or by choosing one among a few typical memory configurations. The former can be done by modifying resource values directly or from the right-button menu; the latter can only be done from the menu.

There are 5 RAM expansion blocks in the VIC20, numbered 0, 1, 2, 3 and 5:

These blocks are called expansion blocks because they are not present a stock ("unexpanded") machine. Each of them is associated to a boolean RamBlockX resource (where X is the block number) that specifies whether the block is enabled or not.

There are also some common memory configurations you can select:

6.5.5.1 VIC20 memory configuration resources

RAMBlock0
RAMBlock1
RAMBlock2
RAMBlock3
RAMBlock5
Booleans specifying whether RAM blocks 0, 1, 2, 3 and 5 must be enabled.

6.5.5.2 VIC20 memory configuration command-line options

-memory <config>
Specify memory configuration. It must be a comma-separated list of options, each of which can be one the following: For example,
xvic -memory none
gives an unexpanded VIC20. While
xvic -memory 60,a0
or
xvic -memory 3,5
enables memory in blocks 3 and 5, which is the usual configuration for 16KiB ROM modules.

6.7 PET-specific commands and settings

This section lists the settings and commands that are PET-specific and thus are not present in the other emulators.

6.7.1 Changing PET model settings

With xpet, it is possible to change at runtime the characteristics of the emulated PET so that it matches (or not) the ones of a certain PET model, and it is also possible to select from a common set of PET models so that all the features are selected accordingly.

The former is done by changing the following resources (via resource file, command line options or right-menu items):

RamSize
Integer specifying the size of the memory in KiB. 96KiB denotes an 8096, 128KiB an 8296. (4, 8, 16, 32, 96, 128)

Ram9
Boolean specifying if the 8296 can map RAM into the address range $9*** or not.
RamA
Boolean specifying if the 8296 can map RAM into the address range $A*** or not.

Basic1
Boolean to enable/disable the patching of a version 1 kernal ROM to make the IEEE488 interface work.
EoiBlank
Boolean to enable/disable the "blank screen on EOI" feature of the oldest PET 2001.
Screen2001
Boolean specifying if the screen memory should have "mirrors" like on the oldest PET 2001: $8000-$83FF is visible 3 more times, up to $8FFF. Otherwise, mirrors (if any) only go up to $87FF.
DiagPin
Boolean to enable/disable the diagnostic pin on the PET userport (see below).
ChargenName
String specifying the name of the character generator ROM (default `chargen').
KernalName
String specifying the name of the Kernal ROM (default `kernal4').
BasicName
String specifying the name of the Basic ROM (default `basic4').
EditorName
String specifying the filename of the editor ROM file. This file contains an overlay for the editor ROM at $E000-$E7FF if necessary.
RomModule9Name
String specifying the filename for the $9*** Expansion ROM file. This file contains an expansion ROM image of 4KiB.
RomModuleAName
String specifying the filename for the $A*** Expansion ROM file. This file contains an expansion ROM image of 4KiB.
RomModuleBName
String specifying the filename for the $B*** Expansion ROM file. This file contains an expansion ROM image of 4KiB. This file overlays the lowest 4KiB of a BASIC 4 ROM.

Choosing a common PET model is done from the setting dialog, by choosing an item from the "Model" selection. Available models are:

Notice that this will reset the emulated machine.

It is also possible to select the PET model at startup, with the -model command-line option: for example, `xpet -model 3032' will emulate a PET 3032 while `xpet -model 8296' will emulate a PET 8296.

6.7.7 Colour PET

The Colour PET is a simple extension by Steve Gray http://www.6502.org/users/sjgray/projects/colourpet/. It exploits the similarities and differences between the 4032 and 8032 models, to use memory at $8800 as colour RAM.

There are two versions of the extension:

with digital colour (RGBI), which can select 16 foreground and 16 background colours for each character cell. The 8 colour bits are used as RGBI RGBI, with the most significant bits for the background, and the least significant bits for the foreground.

With analog colour, which can use 256 foreground colours for each character cell, the 8 colour bits are used as RRR GGG BB.

6.7.8 Changing screen colors

It is also possible to choose what color set is used for the emulation window. This is done by specifying a palette file name (see section 3.3 Palette files) in the PaletteName resource. The menu provides the following values:

6.7.9 DWW high resolution graphics

The DWW, or Double-W (1), board is a high resolution graphics board for PET models 30xx. It attaches to the internal expansion connector. It would not physically fit in 20xx, 40xx or 80xx models because their connectors are physically and logically different. Apart from this, it requires address space at $EC00-$EFFF, which makes it unfit to work in 40xx and 80xx models, which have only 256 bytes of I/O space at $E800.

The DWW board consists of 8 KiB of RAM and a PIA to control various options. The RAM can be mapped either linearly at $9000-$AFFF, or bank-switched in 8 banks of 1 KiB each at $EC00-$EFFF.

It seems that in the demo programs, the BASIC versions like to POKE in 60200, where the machine language programs use $EB00.

60200 Port A or DDR A           $EB28
$EBx0 1  0 \
      2  1 - RAM block at $EC00 (0-7)
      4  2 /
      8  3 charrom         0 = off 1 = on
      16 4 hires           0 = on  1 = off
      32 5 extra charrom   0 = on  1 = off

60201 Control Register A: bit #3 (worth 4) controls if 60200
$EBx1 accesses the Data Direction Register A (0) or Port A (1).

60202 Port B or DDR B
$EBx2 0 = RAM is visible from $9000 - $AFFF
      1 = RAM is bank-switched in blocks of 1 K in $EC00 - $EFFF

      [Control Register B is never mentioned, so putting 1 in this
       address would access the DDR, creating an output line, which
       after RESET is default 0...]

Typical initialisation sequence:

    poke 60201,0        poke 60200,255          (all outputs)
    poke 60201,4        poke 60200,24 or 25 (16 + 8 + 1)

Demo programs on disk PBE-110A, 110B, 111A, and 111B. (PBE = PET Benelux Exchange, the Dutch PET user group)

The memory mapping is a bit strange. It seems each 1 K block contains the pixeldata for 1 bit-line of each text line. This is probably so that the addressing of the RAM can borrow part of the addressing logic/signals of the text screen. (The screen addressing cycles through 0-39, then increases the line (= byte offset) which is fetched from the character ROM; for the graphics, the screen position selects the byte in a KiB and the char ROM offset selects which KiB of graphics RAM).

My notes say: to set a pixel:

RE = INT(Y/8): LY = Y - 8*RE    (or Y AND 7)
BY = INT(X/8): BI = X - 8*BY    (or X AND 7)

when memory mapped to $9000:

    L = 36864 + 1024 * LY + 40 * RE + BY
    POKE L, PEEK(L) OR 2^BI

when memory mapped to $EC00:

    POKE 60200,LY + 40 (or 8?)
    L = 60416 + RE * 40 + BY
    POKE L, PEEK(L) OR 2^BI

Unfortunately there is no logical means of expanding the memory to 16 K, so even in an 80 columns PET the resolution will be the same.

6.7.10 HRE high resolution graphics

This information comes from Michal Pleban, http://www.cbm-ii.com.

This is a short information about the HRE (HiRes Emulator) graphics board for PET 8296 (ASSY No. 324890-01). This is a small board that is installed on the mainboard into sockets for the CRTC and character ROM. It adds the ability to display 512x256 graphics on the built-in monitor.

The board is accompanied with two extension ROMs:

The ROMs are initialized by the command SYS 36864.

After that, the computer recognizes additional BASIC commands like DISPLAY, PLOT and so on; these commands are identical to those of the HiRes Graphics boards based on Thomson chips. All BASIC programs written for the HRG boards should also work on the HRE (albeit much slower).

Upon initialization, the ROM code writes some routines into expansion RAM as $8800 - they are used to manipulate the bitmap data. The actual bitmap is located in expansion RAM at addresses $A000-$DFFF, and is organized linearly (first 64 bytes form the first display line, then comes the next line and so on).

The RAM is accessed for reading by writing the value #$83 into $E888. This is a register in the CRTC memory space that is intercepted by the board and serves as a latch to drive jumpers on the 8296D mainboard. Because the ROMs are banked out this way, all video memory manipulation must happen with interrupts disabled. Normal ROM operation is restored by writing #$0F into $E888.

As usual with the 8296, the RAM can also be written even when the ROMs are mapped normally.

The board is initialized into graphics mode by modifying the following values in CRTC registers (it is done by the routine located at $8C1A):

The last value causes the board to switch into graphics mode; former values set up proper screen dimensions for 512x256 display.

6.8 CBM-II-specific commands and settings

This section lists the settings and commands that are CBM-II-specific and thus are not present in the other emulators.

6.8.1 Changing CBM-II model

With xcbm2 and xcbm5x0, it is possible to change at runtime the characteristics of the emulated CBM so that it matches (or not) the ones of a certain CBM model, and it is also possible to select from a common set of CBM models so that all the features are selected accordingly.

The former is done by changing the following resources (via resource file, command line options or right-menu items):

RamSize
Size of memory in KiB. xcbm2: (128, 256, 512, 1024) xcbm5x0: (64, 128, 256, 512, 1024)
Ram08
Boolean specifying whether the RAM should be mapped to the expansion ROM area at $0800-$0FFF or not.
Ram1
Boolean specifying whether the RAM should be mapped to the expansion ROM area at $1000-$1FFF or not.
Ram2
Boolean specifying whether the RAM should be mapped to the expansion ROM area at $2000-$3FFF or not.
Ram4
Boolean specifying whether the RAM should be mapped to the expansion ROM area at $4000-$5FFF or not.
Ram6
Boolean specifying whether the RAM should be mapped to the expansion ROM area at $6000-$7FFF or not.
RamC
Boolean specifying whether the RAM should be mapped to the expansion ROM area at $C000-$CFFF or not.
CartridgeReset
Boolean specifying whether the machine should be reset when a cartridge is changed.
Cart1Name
String specifying the filename for the $1000-$1FFF expansion ROM file. This file contains a 4KiB ROM dump.
Cart2Name
String specifying the filename for the $2000-$3FFF expansion ROM file. This file contains an 8KiB ROM dump.
Cart4Name
String specifying the filename for the $4000-$5FFF expansion ROM file. This file contains an 8KiB ROM dump.
Cart6Name
String specifying the filename for the $6000-$7FFF expansion ROM file. This file contains an 8KiB ROM dump.
ModelLine
The CBM-II business models have two hardcoded lines at one of the I/O ports. From those lines the kernal determines how it should init the CRTC video chip for either 50Hz (Europe) or 60Hz (North America), and either for 8 (C6x0) or 14 (C7x0) scanlines per character. xcbm2: (0: CBM 7x0 (50Hz), 1: 60Hz C6x0, 2: 50Hz C6x0) xcbm5x0: (1: 60Hz C5x0, 2: 50Hz C5x0)
ChargenName
String specifying the name of the character generator ROM (default for xcbm2: `chargen.600', default for xcbm5x0: `chargen.500').
KernalName
String specifying the name of the Kernal ROM (default for xcbm2: `kernal', default for xcbm5x0: `kernal.500').
BasicName
String specifying the name of the Basic ROM (default for xcbm2: `basic.128', default for xcbm5x0: `basic.500').
MachineVideoStandard
Integer that specifies the video standard of the emulated machine (1: PAL, 2: NTSC).
MachinePowerFrequency
Integer that specifies the frequency of the power grid in Hz (50, 60). This is used to determine the tick frequency for the TOD clocks.

Choosing a common CBM-II model is done from the right-button menu instead, by choosing an item from the "Model defaults" submenu. Available models are:

Notice that this will reset the emulated machine.

Warning: At this time the 5x0 and other machines are implemented in different executables, so switching between those models is not possible.

It is also possible to select the CBM model at startup, with the -model command-line option: for example, `xcbm2 -model 610' will emulate a CBM 610 while `xcbm2 -model 620' will emulate a CBM 620.
