= Introduction =

== What is an emulator? ==

An emulator is a virtual-copy of a physical device (in terms of this document, an 8-bit or 16-bit Apple computer). Early home computers contained a number of basic hardware components - the ROM (hard-coded software, like a computer-game cartridge), the RAM (writeable application memory) and the CPU (the microprocessor which executes machine-language programs). The original instruction-set of the Apple's CPU is duplicated at the core of the emulator as software, and around this is built further emulation of storage devices (usually disk-drives) and translation so that the virtual-machine can use your physical computer's keyboard, display screen, RAM and sound features. Along with a software copy of the ROM (see below) the emulator can use the resources of your physical computer to mimic an Apple!

If the concept of emulation sounds too good to be true - that's probably because it is. Emulators can use a large percentage of your physical computer's resources during operation. Efficient emulation of the Apple on modern machines is really only possible because of the expanding power of computers. At this point, it takes the processing power of a 486DX2/66 or 68030 CPU to comfortably emulate a 1MHz 6502 (the CPU of the 8-bit Apple ][). The 16-bit IIgs emulators coming into use now need the latest processors (Pentium or PowerPC chips).

== What are disk-images? ==

Apple II 5.25" diskettes are not compatible with that 5.25" floppy in the front of your PC. Period.

A disk-image is a track-by-track copy of a physical diskette made to a fixed volume as a software file; basically there is little difference between it and a compressed archive (eg. a PKZIP or StuffIt file). In everyday use, this is useful because of a number of factors - an "image" of a diskette retains more information than an archived copy (eg. volume name, original file dates), physical diskettes may become defective, it makes duplication of master-diskettes easier, disk-images can be stored on hard- disks eliminating the need for unwieldy numbers of diskettes, etc. All of the modern computing platforms use disk-images for storing and transferring disks over electronic networks (such as the Internet). Apple distributes its system software in DiskCopy image format (which is compatible with programs such as ShrinkWrap and MountImage allowing the image to be accessed like a real disk from the Finder). The PC uses WinImage (which is compatible with DiskCopyFast in DOS). Finally, the Amiga uses DiskMasher images. None of these image types are compatible with each other.

Emulators use disk-images for a totally different purpose. Whereas modern computers use images to transfer physical diskettes electronically, emulators use disk-images because the original media is not compatible with the modern disk drives. Although the diskette media itself is the same, the method used to store data on it is totally different. Disk-images are used to trick the emulator software into thinking that there is an Apple ][ disk-drive attached (unlike modern software, most Apple ][ applications could not be installed onto a hard-drive and were dependent on the 140K diskette structure to operate). Unlike the different types of images above, emulator images can be used on any computer. There are six types of Apple ][ disk-images, of which three are standard to virtually every emulator on every platform... But why have more than one type of disk-image to emulate an Apple disk-drive? Because any disk-drive can access the information on a diskette in a number of ways. An Apple ][ drive alone supports DOS and ProDOS structuring, as well as a Nibble format which included half and quarter tracks used in some software as copy-protection. These are the three main types which are standard to most emulators.

For further information on disk-images, please refer to Chapter 6 of this guide.

== The Apple ROMs ==

According to the 'Apple II User's Guide', the read-only memory (ROM) "contents never change, even when you turn the power off. ROM contains the programs which give the Apple II its unique identity and enables it to understand and respond appropriately to the commands you type in at the keyboard." (p.4) Every computer contains ROMs, and understandably, they are copyrighted by the manufacturer. As such, many of the emulator packages listed below do not include the ROMs required to emulate an Apple ][. ROMs can be duplicated from your original Apple computer in the form of binary files - usually the Apple, disk-drive and serial ROMs. Instructions for saving the information from the ROMs into binary files can be found in the text file "dumping-ROMs" available on wilbur. Emulator packages which do not include the ROMs often include instructions on dumping ROMs. This information is specifically indicated in the descriptions below. As an aside, the main Apple ROMs are included on the original DOS3.3 System Master Disk, in the "FPBASIC" and "INTBASIC" machine language files.

= Apple Macintosh Platform =

HINT: Having trouble transferring files from a Macintosh to a ProDOS disk with PC Exchange? Try setting the file?s creator to ?pdos? and the type to 'BINA' using ResEdit (or install the Snitch extension to allow filetype altering in Finder "Get Info" windows). This will prevent the creation of a forked file on the ProDOS disk (ie. it will transfer the data fork only, and not the Macintosh resource fork). It should not be necessary to change the ProDOS file type further if the file is a disk-image or ShrinkIt archive. If the file is text, substitute the file type 'TEXT' for 'BINA'.

STATUS: Development in progress.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: An AppleWorks emulator for 68K and PPC Macintoshes - literally, an "Apple II emulation engine", which requires AppleWorks 5. > From a post on "comp.sys.apple2": "It supports most TimeOut applications, including UltraMacros.  It also tightly integrates AppleWorks 5 and the Mac environment. This includes automatic conversion between Macintosh and AppleWorks clipboards, being able to traverse through your Macintosh hard disk (no Prodos partition required), and macro commands to access Mac functions (like speaking text, dialing). And if you have PCExchange (or System 7.5), it will read Apple II 3.5" disks as well. It, however, is not a generic emulator".

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 68K or PowerPC Macintosh running System 7 and above; AppleWorks 5.

FURTHER REFERENCE: None.

AUTHOR: W. Sheldon Simms III <sheldon@atlcom.net>.

STATUS: Source code released for public modification.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: An Apple //e emulator for 68K Macintoshes. The binhexed 
Think C 7.0 code was posted to "comp.emulators.apple2" on 5 July 1995. According to the author's accompanying message, it is an "emulator that boots into basic. I don't have time to work on it now so I'm posting the source in case anyone else wants to mess with it. It has a 65816 emulator (well 65802 really)...There's no documentation other than internal documentation."

ROMS: MacE comes with the necessary Apple //e ROMs and is ready for use after decompression.

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes); there also seems to be an Icon resource for virtual hard-disk volumes in the code, but whether or not this is supported is unknown.

AUTHOR: Kevin Lund <kevin@locutus.ucr.edu> & Jim Nitchals <jimn8@netcom.com>.

STATUS: See STM v0.881r.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Stop The Madness emulates a 64K Apple ][+, and allows disk-swapping. Although it cannot "save" (write information to a disk image) a small program called Save The Madness can be used simultaneously with STM (under Multifinder or System 7), writing altered disk-image files (see below). STM comes with the DOS 3.3 System Master disk-image "pre- installed" into virtual drive one.

ROMS: STM comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use after decompression.

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes).

DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO:

File Creator: 'A2EM', File Type: 'DSK5' (5.25" images)

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: "Desktop" (colour) Macintosh - including Power Macintosh models. Runs ONLY in 256-colours! Will not display a picture on "compact" (B&W) Macintoshes.

NOTE: On desktop Macintoshes, you must set the "Colors" control panel to 256-colors, as STM does not support higher colour modes. This problem has erroneously been interpreted as non-compatibility of the emulator with some Macintoshes.

AUTHOR: Kevin Lund <kevin@locutus.ucr.edu> & Jim Nitchals <jimn8@netcom.com>.

STATUS: Unknown.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Stop The Madness emulates a 64K Apple ][+, and allows disk-swapping. Version 0.881r (formerly known as 0.872d) is far more versatile than the previous version; configurable "modules" allow expansion limited only by available memory - for example, STM can support four Disk II drives. Additionally, STM can now "save" disk-images (see below). STM comes with the DOS 3.3 System Master disk-image "pre-installed" into virtual drive one.

ROMS: STM comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use after decompression.

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes), and non-standard "pre-nibbleized". This second type is the only format the Disk II module will save images into. From the documentation: "this format is bulkier than the '.DSK' format, and has no cross-platform compatibility, but is more flexible, allowing non-standard formats and 1/4 track resolution." Version 1.00 of SaveTM (see below) is also compatible with STM 0.881r for those who prefer standard disk-image output.

DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO: File Creator: 'A2EM', File Type: 'DSK5' (5.25" images)

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: "Desktop" (colour) Macintosh - including Power Macintosh models - with System 7. Runs ONLY in 256-colours! Will not display a picture on "compact" (B&W) Macintoshes.

NOTE: On desktop Macintoshes, you must set the "Colors" control panel to 256-colors, as STM does not support higher colour modes. This problem has erroneously been interpreted as non-compatibility of the emulator with some Macintoshes.

AUTHOR: Vincent Tan <VincentTan@kagi.com> & Victor Tan.

STATUS: Development in progress.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: IIe emulates an Apple //e. Excerpted from the text file: "IIe is a fully functional Apple //e emulator that supports all of the graphics modes, all of the Apple //e keyboard keys, and all of the currently available Apple II disk image formats. You can even access your 3.5" Apple II disks from your Mac's floppy disk drive! This version can also access any ProDOS partitions on your Mac's hard disk, and it can even save ProDOS files directly in any of your Mac's folders!" From the WWW page: "The next version will have sound card support. There is no expected date of release at this time."

ROMS: IIe does not come with the necessary Apple //e ROMs. The missing ROM is the main Apple ROM ("APPLE2E.ROM"). The instructions suggest using ApplePC's //e ROM: 

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/apple_IIe_rom.zip

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes); the emulator can also read 3.5" ProDOS disks directly from the Macintosh 800K/1.44Mb drive(s). 3.5" disk-images (Apple images in Apple DiskCopy format AND plain ProDOS-order images) and virtual hard-drive (.HDV) files are also supported.

== //e Card for Macintosh LC ==

AVAILABILITY: Commercial product, no longer in production.

AUTHOR: Apple Computer.

STATUS: Development ceased.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: The LC //e Card is a combination hardware/software package which emulates an enhanced Apple //e, accelerated to 1.9 Mhz, monochrome, colour or inverse video, custom beep sound, RAM card, two super serial cards, a "printer" card (spools to Chooser device), clock, SmartPort card, AppleTalk card, Mouse card and extended 80-column card. Hardware is attached via a special connector with ports for a 9-pin joystick and a SmartPort drive (up to two 5.25" and one 3.5"). Files can easily be transferred between Macintosh and ProDOS hard-disk partitions using standard drag-and-drop copying (file copied to the ProDOS partition appear on fixed volume within the emulator). The problem of creating "forked files" is avoided by using the Resource Info below. Further installation, use and troubleshooting articles are available from the Apple Technical Information Library (search for "iie"). 

http://www.info.apple.com/til.html

== ][ in a Mac (version 2.53) ==

AVAILABILITY: Commercial product, no longer in production.

AUTHOR: COMPUTER:applications
12813 Lindeley Drive
Raleigh, NC 27614.

STATUS: Development ceased.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: ][ in a Mac is a package which emulates an Apple //e. Functionally, it is probably similar to it's PC counterpart, "][ in a PC" (see below) with the following exceptions: it runs at sixty percent of the standard //e speed (on a MacPlus), uses only a portion of the Mac screen, has no colour support and limited graphics, no "real" joystick, doesn't handle copy-protected software, and can create problems with keyboard translation and modem port detection on some Macintoshes.

ROMS: N/A.

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: ProDOS3.3 Order (PO - size: 143360 bytes); the emulator can also read 3.5" ProDOS disks (usually 800K) directly from the Macintosh internal or external drive(s).

DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO: File Creator: 'CAI1', File Type: 'DISK' (5.25" images)

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: MacPlus or SE. Some older versions of the software didn't run on the Mac II line. The software will not display colour even on colour Macintosh systems.

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.

AUTHOR: Unknown.

STATUS: Development ceased.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Applemu emulates a 48K Apple ][+, and allows disk- swapping. Disk-images are "saved" to directly on the hard-disk from within the emulator. An option to write protect the disk-image being loaded into either drive is offered. The function keys control disk-swapping routines. Unfortunately, most of the more advanced Apple software requires a 64K machine, and thus will not load on Applemu.

ROMS: Applemu comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use after decompression. The Apple ROMs are stored in "APPLBIOS.COM".

NOTE: To run Intbasic programs, get the "INTBASIC.COM" file, rename "APPLBIOS.COM" as "FPBASIC.COM", and then rename "INTBASIC.COM" as "APPLBIOS.COM".

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: Nibblized Dos Order (NDO - size: 232960 bytes).

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 80286 cpu with CGA graphics (recommended) - according to the documentation, any PC with "128K memory, DOS 2.0 or greater", although on a 4.77 MHZ 8088 it takes almost a minute to boot a disk.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: ApplePC emulates a 128K Apple //c. From a post by the author on "comp.emulators.apple2": "It is extremely fast, has true 'pixel- perfect' graphics (switchable between mono and colour), a built-in debugger, and disk-swapping." The emulator will work with it's own (non- standard) //c, //e files and Applewin's //e ROM file - to provide additional software compatibility. From v2.00a it also uses Applewin's ][+ ROM to supply an Apple ][+ mode.

ROMS: ApplePC comes with the necessary Apple ROMs, which are supplied in separate files for the //c and //e ROMs.

AUTHOR: Emil Dochevsky <zajo@geocities.com> & Alexander Patalensky.

STATUS: Development in progress.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Appler emulates a 64K Apple ][. It supports all video modes, a digital joystick (using the number-pad) and two floppy disk drives. Realtime mode can be toggled for faster machines. Other options include an inbuilt debugger, file- and disk-manager, keyboard setup feature and help screens. The RAM state of the emulator can be saved at any time to a disk file.

ROMS: Appler comes with the necessary Apple II ROMs and is ready for use after decompression. The Apple ROMs are stored in "APPLE.ROM" and "FLOPPY.ROM".

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 Order (DO - size: 143360 bytes) and Nibblized Dos Order (NDO - size: 232960 bytes).

AUTHOR: Randy Spurlock <randys@gocart.eng.hou.compaq.com>.

STATUS: Development ceased.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apl2Em emulates a 64K Apple][+, but does not allow disk- swapping whilst in use. Disk-images are "saved" to directly on the hard- disk from within the emulator. This means that although Apl2Em can run all of the 64K multi-disk software that Applemu cannot, you can only pre-load two disks (D1 and D2).

ROMS: Apl2Em comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use after decompression. The Apple ROMs in "APPLE.ROM" and the disk-drive controller ROMs are stored in "DISK.ROM".

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 Order (DO - size: 143360 bytes).

AUTHOR: Randy Spurlock <randys@gocart.eng.hou.compaq.com>.

STATUS: See Apl2Em-3.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apl2Em-2 emulates a 64K Apple ][+, but does not allow disk-swapping whilst in use. Disk-images are "saved" to directly on the hard-disk from within the emulator. This means that although Apl2Em can run all of the 64K multi-disk software that Applemu cannot, you can only pre- load two disks (D1 and D2).

NOTE: Some people have found a way to "swap" disk-image files whilst the emulator is running by using the multi-tasking abilities of Windows or OS/2. It would be a case of moving the "SYSTEM.DSK" file (or whatever the default DSK name is for D1) out of the A2EM directory and replacing it with a subsequent disk (also titled "SYSTEM.DSK"). A routine to handle disk- swapping under OS/2 is available (see below).

ROMS: Apl2Em-2 does not come with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs. The missing ROMs are the main Apple ROMs ("APPLE.ROM") and disk-drive ROMs ("FLOPPY.ROM") - these ROMs can be copied from your old Apple ][ by following the procedures in the "dumping-ROMs" text file on wilbur. You don't really need the Serial ROMs to use Apl2Em-2 - just edit the "APPLE.INI" file at Slot 1 to read "Type=Empty".

STATUS: Source code released for public modification.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: AppleWin is a 32-bit Windows program which emulates a "Platinum" model enhanced Apple //e with 128k RAM.  It supports all video modes, including double high-res and mixed mode.  It plays sound through a sound card (preferred) or the PC speaker.  It supports emulating an Apple joystick using the PC keyboard, joystick, or mouse.  It allows saving to disk images and on-the-fly swapping of disk images.

There are two versions of AppleWin, both included in the ZIP file:

applew31.exe - Use this version if you are running Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups.  You must also install the Win32s 32-bit extensions, which are available from the same FTP site.

applewin.exe - Use this version if you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT.


It is recommended that you switch your video card to 256-color mode for best performance when running AppleWin.  If you are having trouble using AppleWin with your video driver, or trouble formatting disks under AppleWin, obtain and install "patch2.zip" which is available from the same FTP site.

If you do not have a joystick driver for Windows, you can obtain "ibmjoy.zip" from the FTP site.  Remember to calibrate your joystick using the Windows Control Panel before using it in AppleWin.

By default, AppleWin controls its emulation speed so that it runs exactly as fast as a real Apple //e.  If you would like for it to run as fast as possible on your system, click on the Configuration button (on the bottom) and turn off the "control system speed" option.

Versions 1.00 and 1.10 are faster and includes speed control, modem support, and monochrome monitor emulation.  Version 1.00 requires Windows 95 or NT (not Win32s). And both now come with source code!

ROMS: AppleWin comes with the necessary Apple ][+ and //e ROMs, stored in "APPLE2.ROM" and "APPLE2E.ROM".

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3, ProDOS and nibblized orders (auto-detecting).

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 80486 or better running Windows 95, Windows NT 3.5, or Windows 3.1 (Windows 3.1 requires Win32s).

FURTHER REFERENCES: "README.TXT" (Text file included in the archive). Online help available from within AppleWin.

STATUS: Development in progress.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Manzana emulates an Apple //e for Windows 95/NT. From the homepage: "This program is based on GNU source for binary emulation. Unlike the other current freeware/shareware apple emulators, this has many special features. The first feature is the fact that emulated Apple programs will be able to print on the IBM-PC. To do this, it uses the default Windows print driver, and translates the Apple programs' ImageWriter codes. The other main feature is that Manzana will be able to read Apple //e disks. It will still however support the standard "DSK" format. This program is still in a primordial state. Therefore it will take a while before a copy is posted."

AUTHOR: Kent Dickey <kentd@mtnweb.com>.

STATUS: Development in progress.

SCREENSHOTS: 

http://www.mtnweb.com/~kentd/screenshots.html

SHORT DESCRIPTION: KEGS emulates a 4MB Apple //gs. Excerpted from the "README.kegs" text file: "Fast 65816 emulation (about 6MHz on a 712/80, and 15MHz on a C180). Emulates low-level 5.25" and 3.5" drive accesses (even nibble-copiers work!). Emulates classic Apple II sound and 32-voice Ensoniq sound. All sound is played in 16-bit stereo at 48KHz. Emulates all Apple //gs graphics modes, including border effects. Can handle mixed-displays (superhires at the top, lores at the bottom). Mouse and joystick support (although the joystick is hard to use). Emulates all Apple //gs memory "tricks" for full compatibility. Low-level ADB keyboard and mouse emulation enables Wolfenstein 3D to run. Clock chip emulation makes the Unix time available to the Apple //gs. Emulated battery RAM remembers control panel settings...KEGS is so accurate, even the built-in ROM selftests pass (you must be in 2.5MHz speed mode to pass the self-tests)...KEGS boots s7d1 by default. You can change this using the emulated control panel, just like a real Apple //gs. KEGS emulates a //gs with two 5.25" drives in slot 6, two 3.5" drives in slot 5, and up to 32 "hard drives" in slot 7." The archive contains an executable as well as C source code.

ROMS: KEGS does not include the necessary ROM; it needs to be provided in the form of a file called "ROM" in the KEGS directory. It can be either from a ROM 01 (131072 bytes) or from a ROM 03 machine (262144 bytes).

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/gsrom03.zip

DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: "Raw" format of any size, with no header or compression, including standard DOS3.3 Order (DO - size: 143360 bytes). A file named "disk_conf" in the KEGS directory tells the emulator the virtual location of the disk-image.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: HP series 9000/700 workstations. Will not compile on other platforms (Macintosh/PC) or even other Unix versions since the 65816 interpreter is written in PA-RISC assembly code. The C-only version is portable to other machines.

AUTHOR: Joshua M. Thompson <funaho@jurai.org>; HPUX version compiled by Gordon Aplin <gordon@cdc.hp.com>.

STATUS: Development in progress. Check the mailing list for further information (email <majordomo@jurai.org> with the words "subscribe xgs- list" in the body of the letter) or the development mailing list (email <majordomo@jurai.org> with the words "subscribe xgs-dev" in the body of the letter).

SHORT DESCRIPTION: XGS emulates a ROM01 or ROM03 Apple IIGS, with the following features: CPU and memory map emulation, graphics modes up to super high resolution, ADB keyboard, clock chip, battery RAM, IWM hardware emulation for Slot 5 & 6 drives, ProDOS block device in Slot 7 and classic Apple ][ sound. Further IIGS features such as Ensoniq sound and GS/OS 6 capacity will be added in future releases.

ROMS: XGS does not come with the necessary ROMs. The emulator requires a copy of the Apple IIGS ROM03 - these ROMs can be copied from your Apple IIGS by following the procedures in the "README" text file included with the package.

AUTHOR: Doug Kwan <ctkwan@cs.hku.hk>.

STATUS: Beta testing.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: YAE emulates an Apple //e. This is the source code of the basic emulator without the compiler. Because of the work in IIe emulation, the dynamic compiler in this version is disabled. From the author's website: "I have re-written the video emulation of YAE to make use of the MIT-SHM shared memory extention of X11 to produce better graphics. The new video driver is optimized for a typical 32 bit workstation with an 8-bit pseudo colour display. Therefore the new version is *NOT* portable but the above set-up (32-bit CPU, 8-bit display and MIT-SHM) is quite common in the UNIX community and I will also write a generic but slower version later." Requires compiling.

ROMS: Not included.

== Old versions of YAE (Yet Another Apple ][ Emulator) ==

Excerpted from a message from Doug Kwan (thanks for the e-mail! - Alex):
<pre>
"The name of the emulator is now YAE (Yet another Apple ][ Emulator) though the virtual machine for the XXX platform is still called apple2.XXX. Sources of the basic emulator (w/o the compiler), is now available. The file 'yae.tar.gz' is a compressed tar file containing the source codes."
