Mute talkative VICE

[BacchusFLT]

With VICE 3.5 released, biuilding (F7) floods the status section with rather over-verbose information. Whereas this might be interesting, possibly not in the context of assembly output and testing the code in the emulator. Possibly add "-silent" command line switch?

@BacchusFLT
Thanks for bringing this to my attention! It will be fixed in the next release.

In the mean time you can adjust the kickass_run_args-setting to mute Vice, as such:
"kickass_run_args": "-silent",

Here is a short example video on how to do this:

I added that and it is indeed now a lot less verbose, but still quite verbose (have changed the name of the project I'm working on - other than this its the very output I get):
