Apple2ix is an Apple //e emulator implemented primarily in C with x86, x86-64, and ARM assembly language for the 65c02 CPU emulation module. In addition you will find a smattering of interface code in Objective-C/Cocoa, Java/Android, and GLSL.
Lineage
-------
Apple2ix derives from the apple2-emul-linux project originally coded by various developers in the mid 1990's and FTP-uploaded as source tarballs to the original `tsx-11.mit.edu` Linux archive.
The original software was designed to work from the Linux console rendering via SVGAlib. It ran on par to the 1MHz Apple //e on an i386 (Pentium 100 class) or better machine. Later ports added X11 graphics support based on the original X11 DOOM source code drop, ty JC!
As of March 2015, the resurrected Apple2ix runs on MacOSX 10.9+, Debian GNU/Linux, and the ARM Android port is beginning to run =)
* Portability and code resilience across a wide range of modern platforms including MacOSX, desktop Linux/BSD, iOS, Android -- *But not Windows, just use the excellent [AppleWin](https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin) emulator if you're on Windows!*
* Reasonable emulation fidelity to the original Apple //e machine (timing, video, audio, etc...)
* Binary Mac App/DMG, iOS App (unlikely to be available in iTunes store due to Apple's short-sighted prohibition of emulator software *... but possibly it will be available as an app in the Cydia alternate store or similar*)
For Linux and *BSD, I do not personally relish being a package/port maintainer, so you should `./configure --prefix=...`, `make`, `make install` like it's 1999 ;-)
You will need GCC or Clang compiler and other tools as determined by the `configure` script. Use the source!
