Commodore OS Vision 2.0 Forum

Every emulation is running fine, but C128 crashes immediately after invocation. I recognized that Vice 3.5 is an old version, the actual version is 3.8.
I installed 3.8 but this tells me something about some missing libs that are only available with Bookworm. Upgraded to Bookworm but this ended in a total disaster without COS GUI but only terminal output. So I reinstalled everything from scratch, back to original COS2.0. All emulations are running fine but C128 crashes. Do you have any idea?

Did you follow the instructions and tips available from top menu?

System --> Commodore OS --> Cloanto Commodore ROM Setup

I have a licensed C64forever from Cloanto on my Windows partition and installed all the ROMs like stated in the mentioned instruction and let CommodoreOS do the rest of the setup.

C64, VIC-20, PLUS/4, PET, CBM-II are running still fine.

There may be a problem with Option 3 of the Cloanto 8-bit ROM set up.
Or perhaps there is a corrupted file or a file has been omitted for some reason.
Please select option 1 instead and assuming you have an internet connection.....
Download the free express version of C64 Forever and allow the MSI file to download again.
(I would suggest everyone really just select Option 1 upon a new COS installation)
It should set up all the ROMs correctly and it won't require Windows.
If you purchase a licensed edition you will likely need to copy any extras manually.

Sorry for pinging an old thread but wondering if a resolution was found? I'm running into the same issue. x128 starts and immediately crashes with a segmentation fault. I tried downloading the msi using option 1 and 3 same results.

GTK3 vice 3.8 will crash but SDL2 vice 3.8 will works.

place the unzipped files in live-usb-storage and run it from there.

Good luck.

It's weird. Some things run just fine and others crash out.
Something else to consider is that there may be file corruption with the C128 software included.
Have you tried the emulator with a disk image sourced externally?
I've certainly not encountered an issue when left at the C128 READY prompt.

Thank you for posting this! I had the same issue and loading the ROMs solved it.
I disabled the joysticks using the keyboard in the settings menu, so I could type the LOAD command. It was initially not typing the AD in LOAD.
