.Nib file support? #97

Closed goedzo closed 5 years ago

goedzo commented 5 years ago

I've used the nightly build of this core from 2019-08-02.

I have .nib files in my collection and when I try to load these with the core the following is in the logs: [libretro ERROR] Palette not found: mps803.vpl'. [libretro ERROR] Cannot load palette filemps803.vpl'. [libretro ERROR] Palette not found: nl10.vpl'. [libretro ERROR] Cannot load palette filenl10.vpl'. [libretro ERROR] Palette not found: 1520.vpl'.

Is .nib supported with this core, or not?

Hmm, I see no mention of nib in Vice manual, so perhaps best to convert the file to a supported one and/or get another version.

Yep, looks like your right! Files must be converted with nib tools: https://c64preservation.com/nibtools

NIBTOOLS is a disk transfer program designed for copying original disks and converting into the G64 and D64 disk image formats. These disk images may be used on C64 emulators like VICE or CCS64 [2,3] and can be transferred back to real disks.

So I will close the issue, and leave this comment for everyone to see :)
