http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=911376 Bug ID: 911376 Summary: openSUSE's VICE documentation gives incorrect and incomplete ROM list Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: psychonaut@nothingisreal.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- The VICE package vice-2.4-1.1.x86_64 from the openSUSE Emulators repository contains a file, /usr/share/doc/packages/vice/README.SuSE, with the following instructions on how to make the emulator functional:

In order to use the emulators you need to place the ROM files listed in vice-roms.txt into /usr/share/vice.

However, there are two problems with the ROM list in /usr/share/vice/vice-roms.txt: 1) The ROM files listed are all prepended with the directory "data/". Copying this directory as-is into /usr/share/vice, as instructed, does not work. As packaged by openSUSE, VICE expects these ROMs to be in /usr/share/vice, not /usr/share/vice/data. 2) One ROM necessary to run VICE 2.4 is missing from the list. In particular, the file PRINTER/mps803.vpl is missing. Without this file, running the computer emulators triggers the error, "MPS-803: Error - Cannot load palette file `mps803.vpl'." (The emulators will still run, but presumably this will cause problems when trying to emulate an MPS-801 printer.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
