![]() ![]() Though you can cheat with the authentic/enhanced button - in a roundabout way.Ģ- Printing output, this isn't really implemented beyond text.ģ- The ability to run programs from peripheral card roms, like firmware.Ĥ- Not much hardware like modems (apple-cat or micromodem) are emulated, you have to use a serial port.Ħ- This is a biggie, Applewin doesn't provide for any extra memory beyond 128K. Fast DOS' don't always operate at fast speeds. Beginning with the inability to change disk volumes on a mounted image. Check the latest alpha version.īut there are several things missing in Applewin emulation for example:ġ- Low-Level disk access and manipulation. Good progress is also being made in NTSC display artifacts. Not only that you get the same benefit of a hi-speed Z-80. In fact, emulation is superior to those boards because you can fine tube the amount of speed increase exactly as opposed to having 1 or 2 set settings to pick from. Transwarps, Rocketchips, ZipChips, ZipGSx. ![]() With Applewin there is practically no need for any of the accelerator cards. ![]() Every PC has audio in/out, so it'd be a matter of hooking Applewin to those jacks.Emulation works best when used side-by-side in conjunction with your real hardware. In the Apple II, the CP was (and remains) a valuable resource. Today it's used to bootstrap machines with ADTPro, and actually run games from your iPod with Apple Game Server. And let us not forget the numerous educational science kits that used it as an I/O port. And we had a v-sync wire where the CP detected part of the videosignal. The Apple used the cassette port like an aux speaker output, and even input for digitizing sound. Think of it as peer-to-peer short range 10 meter network. I also built a two-way communications wire I strung between my and my buddy's bedroom window and I could program something and send it to him that way. I built a "modem" that connected to the cassette port, it was slow and naturally required some manual setup, but it worked. back in the day when I/O options were limited and expensive, every little bit helped. Some people may believe Cassette Ports are like meh. This should tide me over until Applewin IIgs is ready for primetime. You can download it here: Stand-Alone application. I still use Copy II+ on occasion, but Ciderpress meets most of my needs.Įdit: Well it turns out the online version is available as a standalone version. Without Ciderpress, you would need Applewin and ADTPro. I agree that Applewin, Ciderpress are indispensable for working with disk images, especially Ciderpress. I would rather have an Applewin equivalent so I can save my games, etc. It was perfect for playing games though because you could just go there and boot it up. I liked the online Apple IIgs emulator, but it doesn't support the latest browsers the last time I checked. What features and functionality would you like to see added to Applewin? One I can think of would be to eventually emulate more of the hardware cards that were available for it, but that might not be worth the effort in many cases. ![]()
