Rewrite C64 CIA

The CIA emulation of JaC64 is currently being rewritten. This will hopefully improve the compatibility of the emulator and will also make the code look nicer (I hope ;-). The new CIA emulation will be included in JaC64 1.01 which will be released some day next week.

C64 Emulation on PS3

I got the latest version of the VICE C64 emulator to work on the PS3. Really nice to be able to play C64 games with sound. I am still hoping to get some sound from the Java also, but I'm not sure if it is possible without getting a new version of the SDK/JRE from IBM (with better support for PS3). To get VICE running there are a few additional packages needed (mostly X related) and some minor modification to the source code (XCreateBitmap should have a 1 instead of 0 as last argument).

I have also tried to get some sound out of a small C program using ALSA which works better than doing the same thing from Java...

JaC64 and JSIDPlay are almost working under PS3 in Linux

I bought a PS3 a few weeks ago and installed a YDL linux on it. Of course I also installed a Java and tried surfing to jac64.com. The applets starts and shows all graphics, but sadly there seems to be no sound support (I use the IBM Java). Hopefully someone will figure out how to get sound working, otherwise I have to figure out another way to synch the frame-rate (emulation speed) of the emulator. Any one else have gotten sound from Java on a PS3 under linux?
