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?
