Pocket Commodore 64/Vic 20 by ClickGamer

Hi,

I am currently running the above emulator on my NetBook Pro. It works fine accept the screen is tiny and only appears in the top left hand corner.

Does anyone know how to make it use more of the screen with a Handheld? I have GAPI and Nyditot but I cannot seem to change the resolution.

With the Windows Mobile screenshots I have seen, there seems to be a menu bar at the top of the display that lets you change the screen size - this does not appear in CE 4.2.

Any help would be appreciated. The company have not answered my queries in relation to this.

Kind regards.

There's no menu bar when you run it on the NB Pro? It might appear if you use a different version of aygshell.dll from the native one on the NB Pro. cmonex has a package of several versions of aygshell.dll on her site:

BTW, you might post a link to the Clickgamer page where this emulator can be downloaded, in case others want to try it.

Thank you.

I did try Aygshell 4....but I will have a go with the others. Hopefully, I can get it to work as it works perfectly apart from the screen size!

Kind regards.

BTW, if you can post a screenshot or two it'd be nice. (Remember to convert BMPs to JPG format first.) Also, please post a link to where you downloaded it so others can try it.

Sorry....link is

There are many photos on the website...the blue menu bar at the top (seems to appear on Windows Mobile) is not present on the NetBook Pro. One of these options on the menu bar lets you choose the resolution according to the manual!

Kind regards.

Tried the link but the page doesn't load..

You keep having bad luck loading Web pages, Half-Saint. It's working fine for me.

Weird..

Works for me too.

Hi,

Has anyone had any luck making the screen bigger on a handheld?....the Aygshells are not helping me...

Hi Ivor,

I will get a Netbook Pro next week. I'm very interested in getting the C64 emulator to work as well. I will let you know if I have any success

Great stuff!

They are good machines....whilst you are looking, try and find a spectrum emulator with sound!! I have one from Palmtop which is very good but you cannot get sound to work.

I am yet to find a Spectrum DOS emulator that works in PocketDOS

I tried the emulator today. Same thing, the screen is pretty small. You can turn the screen, though by tapping on the C64 screen. This way it get's a bit bigger. I also tried if redgear shows more of a menu bar, but nothing.

Now another problem: I have not got any C64 program to work as of yet. Did you get any C64 programs to work?
I tried .d64 files but none of them will work.

Hi,

I have not even tried due to the size of the screen!! Looks like here are no decent 8-bit emulators for the NetBook Pro...they either do not use the full screen or they do not support sound!

I don't really mind the smaller screen size, if the game is actually running. I bought a pocket PC the other day and tried the Commodore 64 emulator, because it got great reviews. But so far it's pretty disappointing as the emulator is not very compatible. This thing should be freeware as it runs maybe 45% of the Commodore 64 games. All the software I'm interested in do not work.

I really like the castCE (Atari ST) emulator. Runs good on the netbook (small screen) and so far all the programs I like, work.

And the Spectrum is better emulated without sound anyway It sure didn't have the C64s SID...
