Hello, all.

I searched Google for this, and I didn't find anything useful. I have
no experience with REUs or C64 mice. I used to use GEOS with a
joystick on a plain C64!

What is, in your opinion, the best configuration to use with Winvice
to run GEOS? I see various GEOS versions out there, some different
REU options, and even a few mouse options. I've tried a few
combinations, but I can't seem to make GEOS run any better than a
plain C64. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Any tips or links are
appreciated.

(I'd rather stick to C64, but I'm curious about C128 options, too.)

Thanks!

You should try GEOS 128 setup with REU, in 80 columns mode and 1351 mouse
emulation. As for REU - it's not enough to have it enabled in emulator
options. On both GEOS 64 and 128 you have to run CONFIGURE application to
setup disk drive shadowing and ram drives.

Thanks for your replies.

I wonder if you're using the 1351 mouse driver instead of the 1351a?

They're worlds apart.

I developed a game last year using WinVice 128, using the REU, (as another
poster said - GEOS itself must be configured to use the RAM, not just the
Emulator). I have Mouse Emulation mode on, and it is as smooth and perfect
as Windows with a Mouse. No issues at all. Even when you Warp it to 1400%
speed. No actual mouse issues.

I also have it set up to print to .BMP files so GEOS can print graphics as
if it is printing on paper - and then I use a Windows program to send those
BMPs to my printer.

It's an amazing system, and emulates GEOS very nicely.

Sean.
