AUTHOR: Alexander Bottema <d91a1bo@meryl.csd.uu.se>; v004 and v005 by Aaron Culliney <chernabog@baldmountain.bbn.com>.
STATUS: Development in progress.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apple ][+ Emulator for Linux "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. I've also taken the opportunity to implement the undocumented 6502 instructions. I've noticed that at least two games use these undocumented instrucions; Bug Attack and MS Pacman. Currently I have transfered about 40 diskettes to my emulator and all programs/games seem to work" (from a post on "comp.emulators.apple2"). Requires compiling (C source code).
ROMS: Apple ][+ Emulator for Linux does not come with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs. The missing ROMs are the main Apple ROM ("apple_II.rom") and disk- controller ROM ("slot6.rom") - these ROMs can be copied from your Apple //e by following the instructions in the README file accompanying the archive. ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes).
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: SVGA lib version 1.2.9 (or later) - tested under 1.2.10. Kernel 1.0 (or later) - tested under 2.0.28. libc 4.4.4 (or later) - tested under 5.2.18. joystick 0.8.0 (or later) for PC Joystick support. flex 2.5.2 (optional for recompiling lex files).
