<h2>What is this?</h2>
|
|
<span class="motter"><a href="../apple1/">Apple 1js</a></span>
|
|
is an Apple 1 emulator written entirely in JavaScript and HTML5.
|
|
<h2>Updates</h2>
|
|
<h3>2013-06-25</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><h4>ACI Emulation</h4>
|
|
Programs are now loaded via ACI emulation off of virtual tapes.
|
|
This is slower than just slamming them into memory, faster
|
|
than emulated typing.
|
|
Actually loading programs from audio files is on my radar, but
|
|
quite a bit more work.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>2013-06-05</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><h4>More Accurater</h4>
|
|
I've scraped the Internet for more information. For instance
|
|
<a href="http://cameronscloset.com/category/apple-1/">
|
|
Cameron's Closet
|
|
</a> had some nice info on character display.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><h4>Krusader off by default</h4>
|
|
Krusader seems to cause some output weirdness outside of the Krusader
|
|
shell, so I'm not using it by default anymore.
|
|
Use #krusader to turn it back on.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>2013-05-28</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><h4>Less Limited Input</h4>
|
|
Pasting into the load window is now the same as typing. For now it
|
|
is not any faster, though.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>2013-05-27</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><h4>Krusader</h4>
|
|
I've decided to use
|
|
<a href="http://school.anhb.uwa.edu.au/personalpages/kwessen/apple1/Krusader.htm">Krusader</a>
|
|
as the default ROM for now. I'm just starting to find my way around it,
|
|
but other Apple 1 people might find it useful.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2>Requirements</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><h3>A Browser with HTML5 Support</h3>
|
|
The most recent versions of
|
|
<a href="http://www.google.com/chrome/" target="_blank">
|
|
Google Chrome</a>,
|
|
<a href="http://www.apple.com/safari/" target="_blank">
|
|
Safari</a>,
|
|
<a href="http://www.firefox.com/" target="_blank" >
|
|
Firefox</a>, and
|
|
<a href="http://www.opera.com/" target="_blank">
|
|
Opera</a>
|
|
all seem to work reasonably well these days, although
|
|
variations in HTML5 support pop up, and occasionally a major release
|
|
will move things around out from under me.
|
|
IEs prior to 9 lacks canvas tag support and are unsupported.
|
|
<a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/ie9">IE 9+</a> renders nicely on
|
|
a modern machine.<br/>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><h3>Basic Knowledge of the Apple 1</h3>
|
|
If you don't know how to use an Apple 1, this won't be much fun for
|
|
you. A good place to start is the <a href="http://applefritter.com/apple1">Apple I Owners Club</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h2>Known Limitations</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><h3>Limited Accuracy</h3>
|
|
Unlike the <a href="../apple2/">Apple ][</a> I wrote an emulator for, I don't own an Apple 1.
|
|
My emulation is based on all the reference materials I was able to dig up, and by comparison
|
|
to the behavior of other emulators.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
