Apple //ix
==========

Apple2ix is an Apple //e emulator written primarily in C and x86 assembly language with a smattering of Objective-C
(Cocoa port).  Apple2ix is derived from the apple2-emul-linux project originally coded in the mid 90's.

Project Goals
-------------

The project seeks to be portable across a wide range of modern POSIX systems including MacOSX, desktop Linux/BSD, iOS,
and Android.

As of December 2014, the emulator runs on MacOSX 10.9+ and Debian GNU/Linux, and mobile ports are currently on the
drawing board.

Linux Package
-------------

At the moment consists of `./configure --prefix=...`, `make`, `make install` ;-)  You will need GCC or Clang compiler
and other tools as determined by the `configure` script.

Project Tech
------------

* C language for the majority of the project (still the most portable/reliable language after all these years ;-)
* Assembly language for 65c02 CPU tightloop
* Extensive tests for 65c02 CPU, Apple //e VM, and display (expected framebuffer output)
* OpenGLES 2.x graphics
* OpenAL audio (emulated speaker and emulated Mockingboard/Phasor soundcards)
* Objective-C and Cocoa APIs (Mac/iOS variant)

Semi-Ordered TODO
-----------------

* Proper VBL timing
* ProDOS-order Disk Images
* ARM assembly/ABI variant (in prep for mobile)
* OpenGL shaders/tricks for style (various screen artifacts) and functionality (Disk ][ status overlays, etc)
* iOS port
* Android NDK port
* Emulator save/restore and image compatibility with AppleWin
* Other feature parity with AppleWin
* Improved debugger routines
* Emscripten/web frontend?
