WinVice true drive emulation problem

Sometimes when I start a game through GB64, TDE is enabled and sometimes it isn't. Anyone have an idea why? Something to do with the GEMUS script? It's annoying as I'd want it on 100% especially as many games require it and crash when it isn't there (as I found trying to load Microprose Soccer tonight!).

When we first started on gamebase, CCS64 was the No. 1 emulator so the True Drive Emulation setting in the database is tied in to that. Though I think you can change the VICE GEMUS script to take care of it... James should be able to tell you how...

To disable Trudrive Emulation for ALL games for VICE, which is not recommended at all, in GB go to the GEMUS menu and select WinVICE or VICE (DOS) and comment out the seciton that has ";true drive emulation?" so that it looks like this (spacing here is not indented):
;If GameType CONTAINS(d64||g64||g41)
; If TrueDriveEmu = YES
; Add_CLP( -truedrive)
; Else
; Add_CLP( +truedrive)
; End If
;End If
Click OK to save the GEMUS script. This will preserve the last True Drive setting you has in VICE.

Was gonna ask if I should comment that out in the script as I had a look at it. Cheers... seems to work fine now
And by that I mean I have TDE set on and it is always coming on regardless of what game I start...
Setting VICE and CCS64 Trude Drive Emulation independently..

hey Mayhem, it appears (to me at least) that TDE gets enabled from the version tab
for microprose soccer, i just changed the version info setting to have a tick next to TDE - works great
sounds like you've spotted a '2 point' forum score thingie... correcting information.. ?
i personally couldn't handle TDE for every game ! oh man !!!

The GBC is based on CCS64, which doesn't need TDE for Microprose Soccer. As teh other post indicates, the new tde= key will address this issue in future releases of the database.

Yeah, looks like an interesting little hiccup to fix here... whilst MPS doesn't need TDE in CCS, it does need it in Vice (well the version in GB64 does at least). Just happened to randomly find that because I was testing the versions supplied as some will be used at BIT Live this weekend on the C64s there...
@Magic Knight... well maybe TDE slows things down sometimes, but I just Alt W it most of the time
