The colour Mauve
As briefly mentioned in my previous entry, trying anything more fancy than sending a little data over the network, causes JamVM to wildly crash. I've yet not found the reason for this, it only happens for one particular example (that I've come across) and I can't find any obvious cause for it. It happens right after JamVM has actually ended, and the crash is according to Grim Reaper caused by the process of name "", which milliseconds before was named "jamvm.exe".

Internet Freedom or Software Piracy?
Gone-offline
It's sometimes said that bad news always comes in threes? Whether this old wives' tale is true or not the computer world has lost a few interesting characters in recent weeks.

Reverse engendering of 680x0 assembly code.
Trying to make sense of it all, IRA the disassembler has been really help full to gives some clues; by providing EQU constants for hardware registers, and some other stuff I don't know what is.
Paula sound, so where does that 14bit audio come from?
So where does that 14bit stereo sound come from? You might have wondered, well after reading the hardware reference manual, it explains that 4 audio channels can be combined in to two.
In this mode, one of channels controls the volume (a value from 0 to 63) 6bits, and wave from is (127 to -127) 8bit, so if you add that up 6+8 = 14bit.
