Vice NEEDS 2mhz fast mode emulation!

There has been some work around this & it's slated on the TODO list for the current release.

In the meantime, try hydrohilic's 2MHz patch (download link - http://landover.no-ip.com/files/emu/2MHzVICE.zip).

His description :

This is a patch for VICE version 1.20 that enables 2MHz for both the 8502 and Z80 CPUs.  If you are using Windows, first install VICE 1.20 (available below as vice120.zip), then copy 'x128.exe' from this patch into the VICE folder (answer yes when it asks to replace the existing file).
 
If you are not using Windows (or would like to build with Windows), you will first need to download the source distribution (available below as vice-1.20.tar.gz).  Next copy the 'src' folder from this patch into the VICE folder (answer yes if asked to replace files).  Finally you can build the executable with steps appropriate for your system.
 
Notes regarding the implementation are provided with the patch in a text file.
