I'm also looking to add sound just now. This is a long standing issue that I'd love to fix so I've been looking at a couple of other emulators and how they handle sound. I not have my Java applet buzzing with noise so thats a good start! I should now only have to port over my TED sound stuff (and later SID sounds) in order to get it playing. Although theres obviously a long way to go before that, but at least theres a buzz about the place now.

Even more java love.
I've updated Plus4 World with the latest version of Minus4j. I've added a couple of handy features that allow even more games to run. The change list is below, and although I've not offically released this you can go and sample its goodness at plus4world.
Added a paramater for the initial frameskip value.
Removed software screen scale and now use built in JAVA one - should be MUCH faster.
Added ESCAPE key (Escape)
Added RUN STOP key - ` (backwards apostrophe, beside 1 key)
Added the * key (numpad)
Added undocumented opcode LAS,Y ($BB) command. Danger Diamonds now runs.
Minus4j now picks up sys4172 style RUN commands from the filename. So games like mercenary_sys23552.prg now work without a seprate RUN command.
Minus4j now picks up g12AB style RUN commands from the filename. So games like mercenary_g5C00.prg now work without a seprate RUN command.
