I am proud to announce that the Dingoo now has an officially supported Vice build.
This build is based on the amazing SDL UI work of Nojoopa.
Thanks to both Nojoopa and BlackyStardust for all their help and support.

The release can be found here.

Release Notes:

- All machines are supported though some will work better than others and some don't really work at all.
- Vic20 and C64 seem to be fine though.
- Overclock to 400 for best results.
- ALL Vice menus are supported!

Keys:

Select = Menu.
A = Select.
X = Cancel
Start = Map key
DPAD = navigate

- See the ReadmeSDL.txt for more info

Enjoy!

Thanks for the excellent port to A320.

I keep wondering why VICE needs so much CPU to run.

I see that you say it needs 400Mhz for best results, but I would have thought his might run a little better even at the default clock speeds?

Hi Slaanesh,

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I have been away on holiday :) .
I found the default clock speed to be slightly sluggish, loading also seemed to take a while, whilst at 400 Mhz, pretty much everything seemed like playing on hardware (i.e. not emulated). Oddly enough > 400 seemed to offer poorer results, but that may be my HW.

Too bad it doesn't run smoothly some nice full disk demos (i.e Edge of disgrace, Cycle). Though it happens because of heavy lag in vice when floppy is read, but there is not much of this in some demos and those are still slow :/
