+====== DICE ======
+[[https://adamulation.blogspot.com/|DICE]] is a Discrete Integrated Circuit Emulator. It emulates computer systems that lack any type of CPU, consisting only of discrete logic components.
+It was first released in 2008 as a circuit-level simulation of Pong.  [[https://github.com/mittonk/dice-libretro|libretro: dice]] is a libretro port.
+This system scrapes metadata for the "dice, arcade" group(s) and loads the ''dice'' set from the currently selected theme, if available.

+==== Quick reference ====
+  * **Emulator:** [[#retroarch|RetroArch]]
+  * **Core:** [[#libretro:_dice|libretro: dice]]
+  * **Folder:** ''/userdata/roms/dice''
+  * **Accepted ROM formats:** ''.zip'', ''.dmy''
+===== BIOS =====
+No DICE emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.
+===== ROMs =====
+Place your DICE ROMs in ''/userdata/roms/dice''.
+Games without any ROM component use .dmy files as dummy launchers.
+Some games (pong, breakout, pinpong, etc) do not have any ROM on the board at all. For these, copy the dummy launcher file from dummy_files to your ROM folder; these have a correct name (for example, pong.dmy) that will get RetroArch to set up lr-dice for the correct game.

+===== Emulators =====
+==== RetroArch ====
+RetroArch has [[emulators:retroarch|its own page]].
+=== libretro: dice ===
+As of Batocera v42, the DICE system is supported.

+You can find DIP switch values at [[https://github.com/mittonk/dice-libretro/blob/main/dipswitches.md|DIP Switches]].
+===== Controls =====
+Here are the default DICE controls shown on a [[:configure_a_controller|Batocera RetroPad]]:
+{{https://raw.githubusercontent.com/batocera-linux/batocera-controller-overlays/master/solid-4k/dice.png}}
+DICE also supports one or several mice or mice-like spinners as paddle controllers:
+  * Easy: One mouse can be used for Paddle 1. Use ''ADVANCED GAME OPTIONS'' -> ''CONTROLS'' -> ''USE MOUSE POINTER FOR PADDLE 1''. You'll still want a keyboard or gamepad handy to have enough buttons.
+  * Somewhat advanced: Multiple mice are supported using Batocera's input drivers, see [[https://github.com/mittonk/dice-libretro/blob/main/retromouse.md|retromouse.md]] and use ''ADVANCED GAME OPTIONS'' -> ''CONTROLS'' -> ''USE MOUSE FOR PADDLE 1'' and similar in EmulationStation to set options.
+===== Troubleshooting =====
+==== Vertical games like Breakout and Pin Pong are stretched ====
+Set ''ADVANCED GAME OPTIONS'' -> ''GAME ASPECT RATIO'' -> ''CORE PROVIDED'' for these games.
+This is more likely with non-default bezels.
+==== Further troubleshooting ====
