Description: Apple ][ Emulator
This is a fully-functional 100% Apple ][ emulator for the Linux console.
.
It is partly written in 386 (AT&T) assembler and partly in C. You can
switch diskettes using a diskette database through an intuitive
interface. Furthermore, it is possible to trim the speed of the
emulator and it runs in full speed (approximately) twice as fast as an
standard Apple II+ on a 486DX-50. It uses the svgalib's key scancodes
and implements the undocumented 6502 instructions (required by at
least two games: Bug Attack and MS Pacman).
.
Because the Apple ROMs are copyrighted, they are not included here. You
will have to make copies of them from your old Apple computer. If you
don't want to mess around with this, you can find a copy at:
.
http://geta.life.uiuc.edu/~badger/files/apple_II.rom
http://geta.life.uiuc.edu/~badger/files/slot6.rom
.
Transferring your old Apple disks is a bit of work, but you can save
yourself the trouble of digging up your old masters by seeing if some
kind soul has already done the work for you at:
.
ftp://ftp.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/
.
Remember, you can only use these roms and images _legally_ if you already
own the original. Have fun! (Ahhh.... What memories!)
