Funny that, you and me both then, eh?  How portable is your
implementation?  I've taken an approach to produce something quasi
cycle accurate video -- just working out the translation of colors for
now and I'll be done after I put together a 6502 emulator (and, hey, I
know that processor.  Not hard. ;-)  Funny though, because I started
going this route because I wanted to perfect my apple image converter,
and to port a mockingboard AY emulator to java.  And here I am with the
foundation of an emulator, hoping to gosling that java 5 or 6 are fast
enough to produce cycle-accurate video with color fringe artifacting at
60fps.  All so I can take pretty pictures, blow them to bits and
reproduce them in less-pretty colors on an 8-bit machine.

I think I probably need a vacation.  :-D
