JavaCPC 6.6 - Last release?

[Devilmarkus]

Hi together,
I just compiled latest version 6.6 of JavaCPC.

It's not a final release, so no official download.

Since Java version 1.6 update 14, JavaCPC has strange display problems.

Until I cannot fix them, I will not offer a new official release.

Here's my last release:

Sorry, no sources, readme and other docs.
Check docs from 6.5

Who wants to help me with the "setDoubleBuffered(true);" please contact for swapping sources.

Cheers,
Markus

Hmmmm... on the other hand, how many people really use the latest Java versions???

Java is mostly auto-updating. (But you can deny the updates)

For all of you who wants to get rid of the bug in last Java-JRE's:
- Uninstall Java (System settings - Software)
- Install last good Java JRE (I archived on my server)

http://cpc-live.com/jre-6u13-windows-i586-p.exe
Java JRE 1.6 update 13 for Windows 32bit

I already reported this bug to SUN. (But what if they planned this?)

Ah yes, they have that stupid autoupdater... damn. Even if it's just a bug and they're planning to fix it, who knows how long it'll take

I can override this "bug" but this will bring the next problem with it:


Does anyone know, how I can remove the top bar of this JInternalFrame? It looks ugly...

But with this, the emulator would be doubleBuffered...

[Devilmarkus]

Found my solution... (what a crap!!!)

Code Select Expand

((javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicInternalFrameUI)
      intern.getUI()).setNorthPane(null);

[Gryzor]

You mean the 'output' bar? It's not ugly, it's just wasted space...

I can't stop loving this filter

[Devilmarkus]

After a long day full of hard work, I managed JavaCPC to get working better now.
The display should also be doublebuffered on new Java-versions, too.

WebCPC in this forum already has been updated with the new routine.
Please check it and tell me if it works properly.

(I had to do a really crap code for this)

Some other positive news:
The screenshot function now really captures, what is visible on screen!
So also scanlines, bilinear filtering or the monitor blend will be visible now.

I just love this screenshot. All screenies should be made like this

[Devilmarkus]

Just improved green screen emulation (a bit)

bilinear filtered, all effects on

Also new filtering for colour screen:


Please use the filters only when you have a fast PC + a good GPU
