@MightyOwlbear Vice. I am super noob on this
@rpardee If that doesn't work, ping me a description of what happens when you try to start a game + your pi version.
(I write about this stuff a fair bit and run a VICE fork of my own, so might be able to help.)
@MightyOwlbear Hey, thanks! I will give that a whirl.
Should I remove vice then?
@MightyOwlbear removed vice & installed lr-vice (from source). Restarted emulationstation & then the game (Archon). Back to EOA (EA) logo...
@rpardee What does it do with other ROMs?
This demo is my go-to for C64 testing https://csdb.dk/release/
@MightyOwlbear Still on that loading screen--gonna pull the plug.
Thanks for that site recommendation! I'll try this here: https://csdb.dk/release/
@MightyOwlbear On the other hand Moondust seemed to work.
I'm not getting audio out of the pi (have attempted to configure it to send to the headphone jack). Will have to work on that a bit. I'd love any advice you might have on that score.
@rpardee It's sometimes the case that you have to change Raspberry Pi's boot parameters to get audio out via the 3.5mm port.
Going to assume that you're using an RPi 4 with RetroPie 4.7.1 unless you correct me. I'm also writing this from memory, but will double-check my own RetroPie setup later tonight.
Press F4 to get to the command line, then sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Make sure dtparam=audio=on is present.
And ADD
hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1

@rpardee (this tells the system that the HDMI display doesn't support audio and thus forces ALSA to use the 3.5mm output)
Docs seem to agree

@MightyOwlbear Holy cow--thanks for taking the time to help out like this!
@rpardee Oh, hey, it's MULE!
If you start running low on classics, I've got a collection of recent commercial and free releases at https://itch.io/c/1268423/c64-games
I'm currently playing the hell out of Zeta Wing
@MightyOwlbear Ah--thanks! I'll check that out.
@MightyOwlbear I am indeed running v4.7.1 on a pi4b w/8MB ram.
I did those steps, but no joy. Ironically enough, the retropie menu's audio option fixed me up tho.
@rpardee To swap disks, you generally have to mount the second disk, so go to Drive > Attach disk image to drive 8, then press alt-8 to swap to it.

@rpardee Try switching to lr-vice
On the main menu, go to Retropie > Retropie setup > Manage packages > exp > lr-vice and install it.
