JSIDPlay2 - Homepage

Introduction:

I am a C64 fan since 1986 as many other people are. I played games, watched demos and read books, but when the time goes by, all activities stopped slowly in the beginning of the 90s.
But one thing from the past i actually do until today, that is listening the precious SID music of all the talented music artists and demo groups. 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 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 want to give feedback, please email me.
If you want to know who i am, you can visit my homepage.
