## Features

- Apple II+ with 48Kb of base RAM
- Sound
- 16 Sector diskettes in DSK format
- Emulated extension cards:
    - DiskII controller
    - 16Kb Language Card
    - 256Kb Saturn RAM Card
- Graphic modes:
    - Text, Lores and Hires
- Displays:
    - Green monochrome monitor with half width pixel support
    - NTSC Color TV (extracting the phase from the mono signal)
    - ANSI Console, avoiding the SDL2 dependency
- Adjustable speed.
- Fast disk mode to set max speed while using the disks. 
- Single file executable with embedded ROMs and DOS 3.3
- Optional emulation of the clone Base64A by Copam


## Running the emulator

No installation required. [Download](https://github.com/ivanizag/apple2/releases) the single file executable `apple2xxx_xxx` for linux or Mac, SDL2 graphics or console.

### Default mode

Execute without parameters to have an emulated Apple II+ with 64kb booting DOS 3.3 ready to run Applesoft:
```
casa@servidor:~$ ./apple2sdl
```

### Play games
Download an DSK file ([Asimov](https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/ftp.apple.asimov.net/images/) is an excellent source) and use the `-disk` parameter.
```
casa@servidor:~$ ./apple2sdl -disk ~/Downloads/karateka.dsk
```

### Terminal mode
To run text mode right on the terminal without the SDL2 dependency, use `apple2console`. It runs on the console using ANSI escape codes. Input is sent to the emulated Apple II one line at a time: 
```
casa@servidor:~$ ./apple2console

## Building from source

### apple2console

The only dependency is having a working Go installation on any platform.

Run:
```
$ go get github.com/ivanizag/apple2/apple2console 
$ go build github.com/ivanizag/apple2/apple2console 
``` 

### apple2sdl

Besides having a working Go installation, install the SDL2 developer files. Valid for any platform

Run:
```
$ go get github.com/ivanizag/apple2/apple2sdl
$ go build github.com/ivanizag/apple2/apple2sdl 
```

### Cross compile apple2sdl.exe for Windows in Ubuntu

Install the mingw cross compile tools and the [SDL2 Windows libs for mingw](https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php).
```
$ sudo apt install mingw-w64
$ wget https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-devel-2.0.9-mingw.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf SDL2-devel-2.0.9-mingw.tar.gz
$ sudo cp -r SDL2-2.0.9/x86_64-w64-mingw32/* /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32
```
Compile:
```
$ env CGO_ENABLED=1 CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc GOOS=windows CGO_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib -lSDL2 --verbose" CGO_FLAGS="-I/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include -D_REENTRANT" go build -o apple2sdl.exe -x github.com/ivanizag/apple2/apple2sdl
```
To run the executable in Windows, copy the file `SDL2.dll` on the same folder. The latest `SDL2.dll` can be found in the [Runtime binary for Windows 64-bit](https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php).
