Vice 3.8 with ACIA Fix+

Post by Cube Inc »

Posting this here again since the last post got lost in a database corruption [incident]. Good thing Brent had backups!

This version both ensures that any software reading from the ACIA Rx register has a chance to pull every single byte from that register, making data transfers significantly more reliable, and it also causes Vice to flush / purge the network buffer of any un-read bytes when DTR is dropped by the emulated C64 - preventing stale data from hanging around in the network buffer after the C64 has indicated that it is no longer ready to receive data.

All feedback welcome. Enjoy

Thanks Cube!

I think I narrowed the server crash down to a corrupted drive in the RAID that holds the System volume.

Hopefully the crashes will stop.. :)
