+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 [[https://vice-emu.sourceforge.io/|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!))

+In Wheezy it was not possible to use the 64bit version of VICE, that is luckily solved with modern versions.
-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.
+To install and configure VICE, just run these steps.
+  - Install VICE: <code>apt install vice</code>
+  - Follow the normal steps to get Vice running: [[https://vice-emu.sourceforge.io/index.html#download|download]]((Check the Source Tarball)) the ROMs((Called ''kernal'')) and copy them to ''/usr/share/vice/<system>/''
-As a workaround you can install the 32 bit version of Vice, since Debian Wheezy features full multi-arch compatibility. To do so, just follow these steps.
