I have recently integrated resid (from the Java-port of sidplay/2 made by Ken Händel) into JaC64 and within the next few days a version 1.1 of JaC64 will be released. I am also working on a stand-alone version that can be used on your desktop PC's also.

Happy New Year!

The latest version of JaC64 is now up on jac64.com. Most important fix is a workaround for getting the Java 6 javasound bug not affecting the frame rate of the emulator. If anyone still have problem with flickering / varying framerate when using the emulator please send me an email or report in the forums (or add a comment to this news item)!

The Devblog have been moved to blogger since the blog on this site was too slow and less robust than blogger blogs. A new version of the JaC64 emulator will be released soon. Main fix is for getting Java SE6 working good. This is due to a bug in javasound in the latest release of Java, so if you experience that the emulator seems to be running at a varying frame rate (regular slowdowns) it is due to the sound systems blocking of the main thread more than 2-300 milliseconds (which corresponds to a period of 10 frames for the C64).

JaC64 v1.0 Beta 3 is now up on jac64.com. New features include a full-screen mode - try it by pressing control + F12 when the emulator is running (it will have a applet-window warning at the bottom unless you configure your Java to avoid this). Other new features are

- control + alt + backspace => resets the emulator
- scaling to any size of the applet either integer scaling or free scaling
- better support for "hotkeys" (used for the fullscreen and reset key-combination mentioned above) - new hotkeys can be registered via javascript.
