The density config is independent from the track. The problem here is that the faster/more dense setting becomes less reliable on the inner tracks (which is why it exists in the first place) That said, as for making this work in VICE - or any other emulator for that matter - it will probably not work on most of them, most implementations i have seen do not actually allow to write at arbitrary density. Or at least, they can't produce a correct image after that. HOXS64 might be able to do it IF you use g64 (it converts to flux stream internally). In VICE it should work if you use p64 instead. -- https://cc65.github.io https://rr.pokefinder.org https://vice-emu.sourceforge.net https://magicdisk.untergrund.net Wer Ficken super findet hat noch nie was anstaendiges gegessen. <Jihad/Hitmen>Received on 2026-06-19 13:00:01
