Now I need a manual for the Lt. Kernel. 😁

Can you run the SuperCPU and Lt Kernel in unison?

Ive noticed Image is a little slower on the pi than windows with SuperCPU and CMD HD. Not much though actually….

 

The main reason it is slower is because the CPU of the emulated 64 is now running at 1mhz instead of 20mhz.. 

As for the time, if you turn off the sound in settings that will fix up the time issue.. 

Running at 110% is a fix, but it may also start to run fast. My suggestion is just turn off the sound in the settings. I did that and lost about 10 seconds in 8 hours...

just a quick add on to this old post.. Recently, I found a new VM I set up to run my old 1.2b retro BBS on and the time issue reared it's head on me. Changing the sound setting in a VM is useless as most VM's don't have sound cards. I tried everything passing through the sound card to the VM, creating dummy sound devices, changing speed settings etc. Nothing worked. I then changed the machine type from C64c to C64 and it fixed the issue. This was in Debian 11.9. I then updated another VM to Debian 12, this had the same results time issues, I tried the same tricks and nothing at all worked. I found a little obscure message in the sourceforge forum for bugs in Vice and it was recommended to try the GTK version (I run SDL versions) and after changing the base over to the GTK version it fixed it.. This is not an Image issue, it is totally on Vice, the way it was explained to me is the time keeping capabilities of the c64 in Vice is handled via the sound channel or the SID chip. So hopefully anyone who has this issue in the future will read this and hopefully get lucky as I did on both of my setups..

There will be an update to the BBS on a stick project in the next couple of weeks, namely all of the latest fixes will be added to the files and on the Linux set up a couple of changes to the script to install.. Vice now uses a couple of new devs for installation that were not included in the original..
