  • What is "directory=" doing?

    From Andreas Kohlbach@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 22 13:45:38 2022
    On my two machines on Linux the ~/.config/vicerc (Windows might have a
    vice.ini instead) there is a Linux

    Directory="/usr/lib/vice/data/C64/"

    Hard to google for "Directory=" as the "=" apparently is ignored.

    What is this doing? Telling the emulator where roms (kernal, basic
    chargen and such) are?

    I was looking for a starting directory for disk/tape/cartridge files
    instead, so the file browser would not every time start at ~/ when trying
    to attach a file to load. Is this possible?

    Replying to myself: It seems to. Just set up the C128 *without* lines
    like

    KernalName="/usr/lib/vice/C128/kernal"

    but only

    Directory="/usr/lib/vice/data/C128/"

    and it worked right away.
