Running JavaCPC Desktop on OS X and Linux
Download the ZIP archive from http://cpc-live.com/data/index.php, then uncompress it and double click JavaCPC.jar in Finder to run JavaCPC.
You also create a shell script to start the program, e.g.:
#!/bin/sh cd /usr/lib/javacpc java -jar JavaCPC.jar -Xms512m
If you use Arch Linux, you can also use the JavaCPC AUR package.
Sound from the CPC can be a problem if the system is running PulseAudio (as most current Linux distos do). One possible workaround is simply killing the PulseAudio server before starting JavaCPC.
