ICU64 for VICE 3.x v0.1.3 - Released

A long awaited update of the ICU64 for the VICE 3 emulator is ready for download. While I'm still working for the v0.2, the new features of this release are trying to reduce the gap from the more feature rich ICU64 for Frodo. Among the unique features of this version, the new .icu file format, is more generic and can be used with bigger success with other emulators also. Please, read carefully the new instructions about how to install and run, and thank Sebastian who pushed me for this release. For any bug/issue/question post a comment or send me an email.

Update 2023.07.27: Download support for VICE 3.7 

Known issues

• symptom: memory view '1' (cpu events) shows no events (all cells are black)
  cause: icu64 failed to connect to the emulator automatically when it started
  fix: press ALT+F5 in icu64 to connect to the emulator manually
  

ICU64 for VICE 2.3 v0.1.2 - Released

An update of the ICU64 for the VICE emulator is available for download (you also need the VICE 2.3 emulator). There are no new features, only better functionality. My goal is to inject the REDPILL into the VICE, so more features could be supported in the future. I'm working on it...
(see the included readme file for instructions)

Note for programmers:
This time I modified the VICE source code to fix the bank issues of the memmap feature (the mod is here).

EDIT: I forgot to fix the zoom-out crash bug that occurs in the 64-bit versions of Windows. A patch is available in the download page.

ICU64 for VICE 2.1

It was asked by many, so here it is:

ICU64 for VICE 2.1 

Requirements:

- a PC with Windows XP and .NET Framework 2.0
- the WinVICE 2.1 emulator

Have fun! 
(Read the included README.TXT for the installation instructions)

NOTE
In this version ICU64 operates as a common debugger over the x64 process. This approach reduces the features that can be supported, in comparison to the Frodo Redpill version. But since it is slightly newer, it has some more functionality and some bugs are fixed. The notable addition is a simple 'memory scanner'.

Also, this version can be connected with other C64 emulators. However, the procedure to do this is a little hard, for safety reasons.

The included file 'x64mm.exe' comes from a recompilation of the VICE 2.1 source code with the -memmap option. (The source code is NOT altered this time, in contrast to the Frodo version). With this option, the x64 tracks the memory accesses made by the CPU (unfortunately with some issues: some RAM accesses reported incorrectly by the x64 as ROM accesses).

I hope that the VICE team will notice the possibilities, so that one day they fully expose the C64 virtual machine to the external applications.
