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 your file manager 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 run 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.
