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 systesm including MacOSX desktop, Desktop Linux/BSD, iOS, and Android.

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

Screenshots show an earlier version of the Linux variant.

Mac Package

A binary package for Macintosh is available at deadc0de.org

Linux Package

At the moment consists of ./configure --prefix=..., make, make install ;-)

Project Tech

• C language for the majority of the project (still the most portable/reliable 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)
• iOS port
• Android NDK port
• Emulator save/restore and image compatibility with AppleWin
• Other feature parity with AppleWin
• Improved debugger routines
• Emscripten/web frontend?
