`epple2` is an emulator of the **Apple ][** and **Apple ][ plus**
|
||
computers from Apple, Inc.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
The fundamental principle of `epple2` is to accurately and faithfully
|
||
emulate the behavior of the original Apple ][ machines, including the
|
||
internal workings, as much as practical.
|
||
|
||
Features of the emulation include:
|
||
* individual cycles of the 6502 CPU
|
||
* NTSC video signal generation
|
||
* displaying the *strange orange line*
|
||
* other display color anomalies
|
||
* floating data bus
|
||
* Disk ][ Logic State Sequencer
|
||
* read copy-protected disks
|
||
* read/write half- and quarter-tracks
|
||
* configurable RAM chips
|
||
* cassette tape interface
|
||
|
||
The CPU and video timings are synchronized, and the emulator
|
||
is designed to run at the same speed as the original
|
||
machine (about 1MHz). It also emulates a television screen,
|
||
and color and monochrome monitors, for the display.
|
||
|
||
It includes emulation of the **Disk ][** controller card,
|
||
the ROM firmware card, and the RAM Language Card, as well
|
||
as a simple clock card.
|
||
|
||
The primary source for information about the internals of the
|
||
Apple ][ is *Understanding the Apple ][*, by Jim Sather.
|
||
|
||
`epple2` is written in C++, and is designed to be buildable
|
||
on Linux, Mac, or Windows (mingw).
|
||
[SDL](http://www.libsdl.org/) is the only dependency.
