If I start vice with command

xvic -device8 1 -iecdevice8

I can't use virtualfs. load"$",8 gives me "file not found" error.

x64 -device8 1 -iecdevice8 works as expected.

Interesting, same shit here.

first... start the commandline with -default when testing this kind of thing, else you might get surprising results depending on what your saved config is

now, what you are seeing there is the quite confusing way "iecdevice" and "realdevice" are interacting. (which isnt really doing whats expected even in case of x64)

if what you intended is using vdrive, then use +truedrive -virtualdev instead.

[ops]

Thanks, with +truedrive -virtualdev it works.

What it this iecdevice option? I've been reading manual but don't quite understand it.

Secondly, I guess x64 and xvic should behave the same way even my params are not quite right.

[compyx]

What's the status of this?

[ops]

It seems that I used wrong command line parameters for virtualfs. Can be closed unless you consider different behaviour of xvic and x64 as a bug.

[gpz]

the two emulators behaving differently in this regard is indeed a bug :(

[gpz]

so, this isnt really a bug per se. the other emulators use iecbus/iecbus.c for their "virtual device iec bus", but xvic has its own implementation and was not migrated to use that code yet - which means "iecdevice" does not work.

the current GUI reflects this, so the option isnt even there in xvic

i am closing this, its more of a TODO than a bug :)
