Keatah #1 Posted May 15, 2010 What is going to be the better emulator, CCS64 or Vice? I already use VICE for Vic-20 emulation. Is CCS64 any better for 64 emulation?? Comments and suggestions are most welcome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NightSprinter #2 Posted May 15, 2010 I'm not sure. I know for programs that use the serial port, VICE is the only one out there that can emulate an RS-232 adapter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Trebor #3 Posted May 18, 2010 VICE allows you to maintain a 4:3 aspect ratio on a 16:9 display. CCS64 does not support this feature. So if you have a widescreen display, the game image will always be stretched in CCS64, whereas VICE allows you to keep it looking the way you remember and how the game was intended to look.

THANK YOU for bringing this up. In my opinion, this makes or breaks emulation for me. I was pissed when all PCs abandoned (needlessly, in my opinion) the 4:3 aspect ratio for the mere reason that [insert brand name here] could too boast of "widescreen" as a "feature." I'd take "tallscreen" if I could get it, so I could play MAME games closer to the original, and see more of a web page (or DTP page) at the same time. I thought things were going to progress towards those rotate-able monitors to do exactly that, then cheap-ass PC companies started touting "widescreen" as a feature - as if I would ever watch a movie on my P.O.S. little PC screen. Now there's no choice but "widescreen" but an emulator that compensates with a true-to-the-experience 4:3 aspect ration "full-screen" mode is an A+ WINNER IN MY BOOK. I hope other emulators will do this as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
