Hi, I would like to be able to start the Vice emulator (maybe x64sc) when DietPi starts, exactly like it happens for amiberry - fastboot, but I don’t understand how to do it. Can you give me some indications about it?
Thanks a lot!
how do you start this app manually?
the executable file is in /usr/bin and you just have to type x64 from the terminal, and the emulator starts.
I tried to take the amiberry.service file and simply changed the paths, making them point to the x64 executable and its working folder “/usr/share/vice/C64” where there are also the roms to start the program. Unfortunately it doesn’t work.
Did you check the service log? Maybe it contains some error messages
When the service starts it stops and tells me:
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
you could try using dietpi-autostart option 17 and you your start command there. You would need to use full path to the executable
I’m understanding a little more what the problem could be. The vice emulator needs a display manager to start.
Even if I use option 17, the problem remains the same. The error is always the same “cannot open display”, this is because lightdm is not started at startup. However, I see that with amiberry it works… Maybe there is a way (and I imagine you did it with amiberry) to start the graphical server without it being visible, and that allows the application to start? In the case of amiberry, the configuration window opens correctly, in fact.
