Anyone done a script for it?
Tried using the default script but no joy.
Welcome to the Gamebase 64 forums. An attempt to document ALL Commodore 64 gameware before it's too late!
Can you use Hoxs64 in GB64?

There was a hoxs64 script in v03, though it seems to have had a lot of work since then so the script may need a bit of work tbco on it - for example hoxs now has t64 support.
Here it is for what it's worth

; PLEASE SET YOUR EMULATOR PROPERTIES AS FOLLOWS:
;
; Emulator File: HOXS64.EXE
; Associated Script File (1): SC.EXE or SCMAIN.EXE (optional)
; Use Short Filenames: YES
; File Types: D64;PRG;TAP;P00;(T64)
;
; This script was written for Hoxs64 v1.0.2.6,
; but may work with other versions too.

; Emulator Website: http://www.btinternet.com/~hoxs64
;
; "Auto Load" from the menu will work for most D64 and TAP images,
; since the first file is usually the desired file and
; "Auto Load" only works for the first file.
;
; The Star Commander (sc.exe or scmain.exe) is required as a script file
; to convert T64 files into PRG files. T64s will not work without it.

Aha...
Seems like there's no way to actually auto run the file in the emulator (which is what I was after). All the script does is bring up the emulator and tell you what file to choose.
Oh well.

I'm SO glad David added the drag&drop feature! I now use Hox64 much more Frequently. I wish he would add support for a RAM expender, and the 1571 and 1581 drives. NTSC would be a nice addition too!
I'm pretty sure he'll add them. It would then be on par with the VICE emulator... Maybe even better!
Thanks Dave,
Joe Bucci

NTSC will be added some day. I'm not sure about the other drives, are they required for some game/demo?
Hoxs64 presents a different approach from the other C64 emulators, it attempts to be the best at emulating a plain vanilla C64 + drive. This is the only emulator that is 100% cycle accurate, all middle-line change effects and sprites are fully cycle exact, contrary to CCS64 and VICE. There's a certain number of strange VIC effects which display wrong (or not at all) in VICE or CCS64, but Hoxs64 emulates them correctly. Also, the 8580 SID emulation is much better. VICE on the other hand is, as the name suggests, a versatile emulator with a lot of options and various hardware to play with. It's also much faster if you select less accurate settings (fast sound sampling, etc). I usually go with Hoxs64 since I like to have the emulated C64 resemble a real one as close as possible.
