JSIDPlay2 2.0
Hi all,
I have created a release candidate 1 of the upcoming version 2.0 of JSIDPlay2.
It is zipped and contains readmes.
It should work for Windows, Linux and MacOSX out of the box.
I would be glad to get feedback about bugs, inconsistencies and other things a user can stumble upon.
Whats inside:
- a graphical user interface (jsidplay2.jar), a console version (jsidplay2_console.jar) and a network device (jsiddevice.jar) to be used by the next version of ACID64.
Windows users get EXE files to launch to make it easy.
Other OS users can start "java -jar jsidplay2.jar"
or "java -jar jsidplay2_console.jar" or "java -jar jsiddevice.jar".
It is located here:
http://jsidplay2.sourceforge.net/2.0RC1/jsidplay2-2.0.zip
Thank you in advance,
Ken

Thanks for this. Tried it on my Macbook pro and it worked splendidly. Not sure I am totally keen on the gui, but it does its job.

Works out for too slow for me. Guess I'll stick to vsid and bump someone to update that gui a little. :) |

VSID is much less compatible,
JSIDPlay2 has a very good CPU, CIA and SID emulation
and VIC is very good IMHO, too. Just try Andropolis demo.
SID emu is resid-fp based, therefore there is more CPU usage.
Or use it with "Fanta in Space" or whatever you like.
Its not only gui.
Searching for a SID player, that fits your needs?

Release Candidate 2 published
I did it again,
many bugs have been fixed since RC1.
The final release is very soon.
fixed bugs are:
- floppy compatibility significantly increased (do you find non-working demos, except of EoD?)
- restarting the player seem to always play the start song again, now, the currently played song will be restarted.
- Adding HVSC files to the favorites panel does now automatically create a relative path name
- fake HardSID has been renamed to Network SID Device
- switching between SID chip types did not always show the correct filter curve
- video screen was wrong aligned (always showed two pixels at the left side)
- pressing pause in the applet version led to a high CPU usage
- Added functions to the applet version (getCurrentSong and getCurrentTime)
Just get it from here:
http://jsidplay2.sourceforge.net/2.0RC2/jsidplay2-2.0.zip
Next time the final release will be published :-)

That seems to be a java issue (64bit linux).
It crashes in the native linux library (libc)
I really don't know, I never tested that platform *shrug*
Thats really a lol :-)
Edit: 6.0_20-b02 (Does that mean a beta version?) |

Second Count0 on that: On my Win7 HP6220 Laptop it creates so much load that i even can't properly surf anymore as the bandwidth goes down so much..
Second Ed on that: It sounds pretty cool, it looks nice, yet it's so terribly java-slow.. I don't get those features like the built in emulator and such?
If it would make the whole thing resonably faster, how about skipping the unneccesary parts?!
To sum it up: I'd love to see JSidPlay do what it should do- play sids in a comfortable manner- nothing more, nothing less.. |

If you start the console version you only get what you expect:
just a SID player.
CPU load is very high, thats true. However, Its java and it has a good quality on the other hand.
Edit: Just for your information!
some people think, that they need a powerful machine for that
player, therefore i have added some screenshots of
my system setup.
http://jsidplay2.sourceforge.net/screenshots/system.gif
http://jsidplay2.sourceforge.net/screenshots/cpuload.gif
The screenshots show a dual core 1.47 GHz with 2 GB RAM
and a CPU load of 37%
The overall performance index in Windows Vista shows 3.1
(not the best though)
Energy saving options are set to "balanced" and i can still
use other software in the background :-)

Hi folks,
JSIDPlay2 2.0 has been released
and is available for download at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsidplay2/
This is a big step forward over the last released version three years ago.
But, development still continues to make it better, faster and more eye-cachtching.
Stay tuned |
