I had tested it successfully with Vice (that I recommend in instructions) and with ccs64, also with my TheVIc20 and with my real c64 machine, never tried with hoxs64 though. Just downloaded it and opened the prg, worked very well. Version v1.1.1.2.
Just had to manage what keyboard keys are mapped with joystick #2, but after that it was all ok.
You didn't specify what kind of problem you had, be more specific and I can help you.
