Configuration Settings

Computer:
This describes the mode of emulation. You have the option of emulating the predecessors of the Apple //e: the Apple ][ and Apple ][+. Besides running with a different Apple system ROM, some differences are discussed below.

Apple ][ : Non-autobooting, 64K machine, no lower-case, no 80-column, 6502 CPU
Apple ][+ : Autobooting version of the Apple ][
Apple //e : 128K machine, lower-case, 80-column, 6502 CPU
Enhanced Apple //e : 128K machine, lower-case, 80-column, 65C02 CPU
Clone (specific model selectable from Advanced page)

Video:
AppleWin can display Apple video in a variety of modes. The display can also be run in a standard window or full-screen. This option describes the type of video emulation to be used for the emulator. Some differences might be discussed below.

Monochrome (custom) : This mode emulates a monochrome monitor. You can choose your monochrome color from the Monochrome Color button described below.
Monochrome (amber/green/white) : Monochrome with specified color.
Color (standard) : This mode emulates a standard color monitor.
Color (text optimized) : This mode does a bit of image processing to make text more readable on the hires screen.
Color (TV emulation) : This mode emulates how colors would bleed into one another on a TV. On the hires screen, alternating horizontal lines of color are bled together to form new colors like grey, purple, pink, yellow and aquamarine. This effect was used in commercial games like Karateka and many hires adventures (eg. Mindshadow).
50% Scan line : Only draw alternate scanline (for better monitor authenticity).

Serial Port:
This option will remap the emulated Apple's serial port to your PC's serial port (or TCP port 1977). The Apple Super Serial Card (SSC) is emulated in slot-2.
The TCP interface to the Apple SSC can be used by the Apple // Game Server. For details see the notes that comes with AGS:

Boot the Apple II to AppleSoft (ie. power on and hit Ctrl-Reset) and type IN#2.

From a Windows DOS box, start AGS with "localhost 1977 apple2e". This will boot the emulated Apple II from AGS.

Nb. Only Enhanced Apple //e is working at the moment.

Ethernet Settings...:
This allows to choose which network interface card (NIC) you want to use with the Uthernet card.

Monochrome Color:
This is the color to use when you choose a monochrome video mode.

Emulation Speed Control:
This option let's you control the processor speed of the emulated system. You may choose to use an authentic speed (matching the speed of the original processor from the system) or you can underclock or overclock the emulated processor speed from half-speed to as fast as your PC can emulate.

Benchmark Emulator:
This will run a benchmark test that will show how fast your PC can emulate an Apple //e system with this emulator. In order to run the benchmark, the emulated machine must be reset and you will lose any unsaved work. You will be prompted before you continue this action. The results given are:

Pure Video FPS
Pure CPU MHz
Expected average video game performance (in FPS)
