- Pause (thanks a2geek)
- Passes the A2AUDIT 1.06 tests as II+, //e, and //e Enhanced.
- Partial pass ot the ProcessorTests for 6502 and 65c02. Failing test 6502/v1/20_55_13; flags N anv V issues with ADC; and missing some undocumented 6502 opcodes.
By default the following configuration is launched:
- Enhanced Apple //e with 65c02 processor
- RAMWorks card with 80 column, RGB (with Video7 modes) and 8Gb RAM in aux slot
- Parallel print inteface in slot 1
- VidHD card (SHR support) in slot 2
- FASTChip Accelerator card in slot 3
- Mouse card in slot 4
- SmartPort card with 1 device in slot 5 (if an image is provided with -disk35)
- DiskII controller card in slot 6
- SmartPort card with 1 device in slot 7 (if an image is provided with -hd)
No installation required. Download the single file executable izapple2xxx_xxx
for linux or Mac, SDL2 graphics or console. Build from source to get the latest features.
Execute without parameters to have an emulated Apple //e Enhanced with 128kb booting DOS 3.3 ready to run Applesoft:
casa@servidor:~$ ./izapple2sdl
Download a DSK or WOZ file or use an URL (Asimov is an excellent source):
casa@servidor:~$ ./izapple2sdl "https://www.apple.asimov.net/images/games/action/karateka/karateka (includes intro).dsk"
Download the excellent Total Replay compilation by a2-4am:
casa@servidor:~$ ./izapple2sdl Total\ Replay\ v4.0.hdv
Displays super hi-res box art as seen with the VidHD card.
To run text mode right on the terminal without the SDL2 dependency, use izapple2console
. It runs on the console using ANSI escape codes. Input is sent to the emulated Apple II one line at a time:
casa@servidor:~$ ./izapple2console -model 2plus

Besides having a working Go installation, install the SDL2 developer files. Run:
git clone github.com/ivanizag/izapple2
cd izapple2/frontend/a2sdl
go build .
With a working Go installation, run:
brew install SDL2
git clone github.com/ivanizag/izapple2
cd izapple2/frontend/a2sdl
go build .
On Windows, CGO needs a gcc compiler. Install mingw-w64 and the SDL2 developer files for mingw-64.
Run:
git clone github.com/ivanizag/izapple2
cd izapple2\frontend\a2sdl
go build .
To run in Windows, copy the file SDL2.dll
on the same folder as a2sdl.exe
. The latest SDL2.dll
can be found in the Runtime binary for Windows 64-bit.
To create executables for Linux and Windows without installing Go, SDL2 or the Windows cross compilation toosl, run:
cd docker
./build.sh
