New member does Sidplay2 in Java
Hi folks,
I am a new member of CSDb and want to introduce myself
with a little release.
First, i am very proud to be accepted as a new member of the scene.
For short: I am a C64 fan from 1986 until now.
I was never active in the scene, too less talented maybe, but i learned basic and assembler and did some coding for myself in the past.
One thing from the past i actually do until today is listening the precious SID music of all the talented music artists. So many thanks to all of you for your work
collected in the HVSC.
To listen the new releases from the still active groups i often used sidplay2 for windows or an emulator like CCS64, because my commodore was on the attic.
I am also a Java developer and wanted to have my very own java implementation to create a so called C64 Jukebox.
I decided to create a 1:1 conversion of sidplay2 from C++ to java. It should have all features of the original.
It was a long time work and when it was finished i decided to make it open source, that others can integrate into their java emulators.
Perhaps there will be plugins for many java apps some day or a version running even on a mobile.
If you have any suggestions or feedback (positive or negative) it is welcome.
Have a lot of fun with our hobby,
Ken

@kenchis
Have you done anything so far to improve the performance? Your project is great and that's about the only real downside of it so far. |

Hi gregg,
thank you for your feedback.
The performance can be set on the settings page.
Set the sampling method to "fast" or you can also set the optimize level. So the performance will drop down to 10% of CPU.
I choose the good emulation prior to the fast one by default.
In direct comparison to the C++ sources it is around factor 2 slower.
The other sampling methods are horrible in java and IMHO not usable.

with no option to override the sid model info in a sid file this emulator is unusable for me. its annoying to change the sid model for each and every sid file/sub tune i play. |

Ok, then it should be possible to lock the chosen model for all SIDs to play.
Edit: The feature is now in :-) |

Another question. How can I disable the GUI? I cannot find the command line switch for that. :) Unsetting $DISPLAY just errors out. |

Hi Gregg,
You have to start the console player this way:
java -classpath jsidplay2.jar sidplay.ConsolePlayer

Now i added a Memory tab with a Disassembler :-)
@yoki: can you make a complete sreenshot, then i can possibly find out how much too small the window width is.
Thank you for using it.

The OSX version looks really nice :-)
but the window seem to be too small :-(
Edit: Now you can also listen to the CGSC tunes in parallel to the HVSC tab :-) Some of them sound really good with 4-6 voices
Edit: Now i added graphical output of type 3 filter curves on the settings tab. I also tested substance look&feel on Mac OSX :-) |
