Just like in the old days! CRT emulation was available in version 2.3, but it looks much better in 2.4. That means that when you start WinVICE, the screen looks like a CRT television: kind of blurry and full of horizontal lines. The screen looks blurry!Īs of version 2.4, CRT emulation is on by default. If you've assigned the arrow keys to joystick, you won't be able to navigate through the menu. By default, the arrow keys represent the CRSR keys. Some menus require the CRSR keys to scroll through them. Keep this in mind when you're choosing the keys which represent your virtual joystick.
\ (backslash) key is the Pound sign key. ` (single quote) key is the Left arrow key. ESC and Caps lock keys are the Run/stop key. However, there are certain keys on a C64 keyboard that are not on yours. Your keyboard will work as expected now, provided you have a keyboard with a US layout.

When the game asks for disk 2 (or 3, or 4, or whatever), attach the disk file to the emulator with File - Attach disk image - Drive 8. Start the game by loading disk file 1 or the disk file that is called "bootdisk" or similar, with File - Autostart disk/tape image. When you download these games, they'll consist of several files (1 file for each disk). Some C64 games came on more than one floppy disk, like The Last Ninja or California Games. When the controls you've set up don't work, try swapping the Joystick ports with ALT+J (Joystick port 1 becomes port 2 and vice versa). Start Impossible Mission in WinVICE with File - Autostart disk/tape image. Copy the contents of the game zip file to a folder of choice. Download a C64 game, for example Impossible Mission.

Close Joystick settings by pressing the Ok button. Press the Config Keyset A button, configure the desired keyset and press Ok. While in WinVICE 圆4, go to Joystick settings ( Settings - Joystick settings.). Copy the contents of the WinVICE 7z file to an empty folder of choice.
