-Oh well, sometimes I think I might be getting older. Remembering my childhood (yes, it was even before my youth) I spent loads of hours on my Commodore 64 and most of that time was gaming. Nowadays I enjoy an occasional session in the really great emulation software [[http://vice-emu.sourceforge.net/|Vice]], playing my favourite games from back then.((For my German speaking readers: the [[http://www.c64-wiki.de/index.php/Hauptseite|C64 Wiki]] is a great place!)) +Oh well, sometimes I think I might be getting older.

-Unfortunately, Vice won't run in Wheezy on amd64 systems that actually have an AMD processor due to [[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686400|this bug]]. Vice will just exit with signal 4 and that's about it.+
  
-As a workaround you can install the 32 bit version of Vice, since Debian Wheezy features full multi-arch compatibility. To do sojust follow these steps.+In Wheezy it was not possible to use the 64bit version of VICEthat is luckily solved with modern versions.
