When using WinVice the default configuration for most of my gaming is NTSC as I am a US user who plays mostly NTSC releases of C64 games.
However, there are certain titles (I.E. Ocean's port of Donkey Kong, Rambo) which run better or require the machine type of PAL.
The command line parameter is:
-pal
How do I set game specifc command line parameters? Again, the machine type in WinVice is set to NTSC. However, when I want to play one of the aforementioned PAL titles, the command line for it to run properly is for example:
x64.exe -pal "D:\RNI\C64 Disk Images\D\donkey_kong_ocean\donkey_kong_ocean.d64"
How do I specify that "-pal" option for only certain games under GB?
Thanks,
Trebor

Hi Trebor,
Why not create two shortcuts to the x64 start file?
One with, and one without the -pal addition in the command line to start x64?
Should work, as long as you close x64 before changing between NTSC and PAL by starting it up using the correct shortcut.

These lines are part of the standard GEMUS script for WinVICE:
It will add -ntsc to the command line options if PAL/NTSC is set to NTSC for the currently selected game.
For all other PAL/NTSC settings -pal is appended.
To reverse this behaviour (always NTSC, except for games that require PAL, change the GEMUS code to:
Hope this helps.
Code: Select all
;-----------------
;PAL or NTSC setup
;-----------------
If PalNTSC = NTSC
Add_CLP( -ntsc)
Else
Add_CLP( -pal)
End If
For all other PAL/NTSC settings -pal is appended.
