vice3DS-C128 is an emulator for the Commodore 128, also known as the C128, C-128, C=128, or occasionally CBM 128. It is the last 8-bit home computer that was commercially released by Commodore Business Machines (CBM). Introduced in January 1985 at the CES in Las Vegas, it appeared three years after its predecessor, the bestselling Commodore 64.

This is a port of the Versatile Commodore Emulator, [https://vice-emu.sourceforge.io VICE-C128 emulator] to 3DS, as a spinoff to the [[Vice3DS|Vice3DS-C64 emulator]].


VICE - the Versatile Commodore Emulator - http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/
==Installation==
Available in 3DSX format. Copy .3dsx file to /3ds/vice3ds-C128/ on your SD card and launch in Homebrew Launcher.
 
If you're updating from a previous version, make sure to delete the config directory on your SD-card /3ds/vice3ds/config before starting the emulator. Otherwise new config settings, hotkeys and key mappings will not be updated and will not work.


As a spin-off to the [https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-vice3ds-c64-emulator.534830/ vice3DS C64-emulator], I ported the C128 emulator as well. Alas, the poor 3DS (even the N3DS) is not powerful enough to run the C128 emulator at an acceptable speed (especially in VDC-mode, better known as 80-colums mode, which is painfully slow - VIC-mode runs so so).
Apart from this, a [[DSP1_3DS|DSP-dump]] is required for sound to work correctly.


The UI and button mappings are mostly the same as the C64 emulator. Only the soft keyboard has slightly changed and there is a new soft button to switch between 40- and 80-columns mode (which simulates the hardware switch on your C128 monitor).
==User guide==
Currently, only .3dsx-file is available. If anybody finds this emulator useful, I will create a .cia and .3ds file as well.
The UI and button mappings are mostly the same as the C64 emulator.  


Current version is '''v0.1'''

Important: If you have an older version (before 1.5) of vice3DS C64-emulator installed already, make sure to delete the config directory on your SD-card /3ds/vice3ds/config before starting the emulator. Otherwise new config settings, hotkeys and key mappings will not be updated and will not work.
==Compatibility==
Vice3DS will run with acceptable framerates (~20 fps with fastSID emulation) on O3DS. However, a N3DS is recommended: Only here, you will get the full 50fps and incredible reSID sound.


==Known bugs:==
==Changelog==
* frequently crashes when switching to/from 80 columns mode
'''v2.4.2'''
* crash when switching to/from fullscreen many times
*Enhancement: use new hoster for games download in gamebase64 launcher.
* sound distortions when using bottom screen, caused by sound buffer underruns
* 80-columns mode runs VERY slow, sound is garbled due to permanent buffer underruns


If anybody wants to help fix these bugs, you are welcome to help me with a pull request on github!
'''v0.2'''
* Compile again with the latest libctru version but do not have enough time for testing.

vice3DS-C128 is an emulator for the Commodore 128, also known as the C128, C-128, C=128, or occasionally CBM 128. It is the last 8-bit home computer that was commercially released by Commodore Business Machines (CBM). Introduced in January 1985 at the CES in Las Vegas, it appeared three years after its predecessor, the bestselling Commodore 64.

This is a port of the Versatile Commodore Emulator, VICE-C128 emulator to 3DS, as a spinoff to the Vice3DS-C64 emulator.

Installation

Available in 3DSX format. Copy .3dsx file to /3ds/vice3ds-C128/ on your SD card and launch in Homebrew Launcher.

If you're updating from a previous version, make sure to delete the config directory on your SD-card /3ds/vice3ds/config before starting the emulator. Otherwise new config settings, hotkeys and key mappings will not be updated and will not work.

Apart from this, a DSP-dump is required for sound to work correctly.

User guide

The UI and button mappings are mostly the same as the C64 emulator.

Only the soft keyboard has slightly changed and there is a new soft button to switch between 40- and 80-columns mode (which simulates the hardware switch on your C128 monitor).
