Vice PET only autostarts content with model 80XX

[cucholix]

Latest Vice PET core as 6-march 2021 only autostarts content when launched from playlist with 80XX models, other models need you input the command to start the game, it happened to me on Switch, but @sonninnos confirmed it happens on other platform. Worth noting that it doesn’t happen in standalone, not sure when exactly this bug start to happen or if it was always like that.

The 80XX model split the picture like this: (Breakout)

So most games are unplayable under 80XX.

By comparison 2031 model for example display the games correctly:

Looks like this issue will sort itself with 3.5, since 3.3 standalone actually suffers from it after all.

Replicated by changing the model via the menu and then trying to autostart via the menu. Autostart stops working after the model change reset.

Standalone starts straight up from the saved config, as in no reset required, but this core starts with the defaults, and then resets with the core options configuration. So something is simply not resetting properly.

Tried with updated core, and the image still appears split with model 80XX

That is what model 80XX does.. This didn't fix that, because it can't be fixed. This fixed the non-default models autostarting properly.

2031 model doesn’t autostart on my end

[sonninnos]

Works fine here on all models, and there is no model 2031.

Tried with every model available, and only 80XX autostart, but has the split screen issue

Log might make things clearer, as usual.

Was preparing the log for you and it happens now works hah. Maybe it didn't updated properly :)
