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 could 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, here is a 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 or prefixing the Java command with "pasuspender" to suspend PA. (For the latter approach, browsers or media players that currently use PA need to be closed first or suspending will not work.)
