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.

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)

DOS 3.3

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?
