ViceSharp.Launcher

VICE-compatible command-line argument parsing and machine bootstrap for the ViceSharp C64 emulator.

What it is

ViceSharp.Launcher is a small class library that turns a VICE-style command line (the flags x64sc, c1541, and friends accept) into a strongly typed ViceArgs bundle, then maps that bundle to the multi-system topology YAML the ViceSharp host consumes. ViceArgsParser.Parse mirrors VICE 3.x flag conventions for the subset ViceSharp supports (-8, -9, -cart, +/-truedrive, --machine-yaml, --cycles, plus the testbench flags -debugcart, --limitcycles, and .prg autostart), collecting unrecognized flags into ViceArgs.Unknown rather than throwing. ViceTopologyBuilder.BuildYaml then emits a --machine-yaml topology string (C64 host with optional drives, or a standalone c1541 tool), and ParseDescriptor reads testbench keys back out. It references ViceSharp.Abstractions, ViceSharp.Architectures, and ViceSharp.Core.

Install

dotnet add package ViceSharp.Launcher

Usage

using ViceSharp.Launcher;

var parsed = ViceArgsParser.Parse("x64sc", new[] { "-8", "game.d64", "+truedrive" });
string topologyYaml = ViceTopologyBuilder.BuildYaml(parsed);

Feed topologyYaml to the ViceSharp host via its --machine-yaml option. Note that ViceSharp ships no Commodore ROMs; point VICESHARP_ROM_PATH at a VICE data root before running the emulator. Only x64, x64sc, and c1541 binary names are currently supported; others throw NotSupportedException.
