In Reply to: CCS64 is great but has some bugs in Windows 2000/NT. posted by Patrick van der Poel on November 22, 2000 at 16:54:26:
It looks like I've found a workaround for the bug I found. The bug has something to do with the color black. When you look in the video settings pallet index you will see black is not absolutely black. No problem in Windows 9x, but in Windows NT/2000 it looks like some parts in programs are realy black and other parts have the black color defined in the pallet index. The result is that sometimes you see glitches and strange colors wich should be hidden in black normally. It can be seen easily when freezing the KCS power cartridge. The inside screen is completely black. The border is the defined black in pallet index (which is a little more grey in fact). The workaround is simple. Go to the pallet index settings in the video menu and change black (color 0) in thee zero's. This is absolutely black. Now you won't see the glitches and strange colors anymore. Black is too black now, but that's not really a problem. I don't understand why this only happens on Windows NT/2000.

: Hi,
: First of all let me say that CCS64 is the best C64 emulator around. Unfortunately I've seen a something strange under 2000/NT. Hopefully Hakan can fix them.
: Still great work Hakan !!
: I just hate reporting bugs, but here they are. The first bug only appears in Windows 2000/NT (DirectX 7 and 8).
: On some programs the colors seem to be wrong.
: You can see this happen when you use the KCS cartridge and press ALT-F (Freeze) Under Windows 2000 the border color is not black but grey. Strange. Also some games have serious color problems and glitches. Try Rambo First Blood part II and look at the big scroller at the beginning of the game.
: Finally some cartridges and a rom set (look in unemulated.zip) on my site aren't yet supported.

: Keep up the good work Hakan !!
