Modern cross-platform Apple IIgs emulator and tools based on KEGS
|
||||
Manual Version: Initial Draft
|
||||
Date: 2016-05-01
|
||||
Overview & Purpose
|
||||
This is an early release of an experimental project to modernize the KEGS/GSport emulator platform and eventually extend it.
|
||||
The first steps are represented here. This release features a new SDL2 driver. SDL or "Simple DirectMedia Layer" enables the writing of one cross-platform driver to handle input and output (video, mouse, keyboard, audio, joystick). The hope is that I can leverage the multi-platform nature of SDL to provide first-class support for the major platforms supported by SDL, which includes Mac OSX, Windows and Linux.
|
||||
Currently, five builds are being supported:
|
||||
* OSX (SDL2 driver)
|
||||
* Ubuntu (SDL2 driver)
|
||||
* Ubuntu (SDL driver)
|
||||
* Ubuntu (X11 driver)
|
||||
* Window (Win32 driver)
|
||||
There are more platforms still in the codebase, and some, like Raspberry Pi will probably be added to official support. But I may drop some of the older platforms like OS/2.

|
||||
Getting started
|
||||
1. Download the emulator and put it in a folder
|
||||
2. Download the Apple IIgs Firmware ROMs, for either a ROM01 or ROM03 machine. (If you have a real IIgs, there are ways to save it from your machine as well.)
|
||||
3. Download some Apple IIgs software. (I recommend the excellent Apple IIgs dedicated site, http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/ )
|
||||
(If you have a real IIgs, you can transfer your disks using ADTPro http://adtpro.sourceforge.net/ )
|
||||
4. Edit your config:
|
||||
1. By hand… edit the config file (config.txt, config.gsplus, or .gsplus)
|
||||
2. While the emulator is running… hit F4 to enter config menu.
|
||||
1. Boot the Apple IIgs by running the emulator
|
||||
1. Windows: gsplus.exe
|
||||
2. Mac/Ubuntu: ./gsplus
|
||||
Emulator Hot-Keys
|
||||
There are several keys used to interact with the emulator while it is running. Here’s a quick list of the main hot-keys and what they do.
|
||||
F4 - Configuration menu
|
||||
F5 - Config menu
|
||||
F6 - Toggle System Speed (1, 2.8, 8, ∞ MHz )
|
||||
F7 - Toggle Fast Disk Emulation
|
||||
F9 - Invert Paddles
|
||||
F10 - Toggle a2vid_palette (?)
|
||||
F11 - Toggle Fullscreen Mode
|
||||
F12 - RESET Key (i.e. - “Ctrl-F12” = “Ctrl-Reset” on an Apple II)
|
||||
Other Input/Output
|
||||
1. Mouse and keyboard should automatically work
|
||||
2. Joystick with SDL2 driver is known to be working. The axes and buttons are not yet configurable. Better info forthcoming.
|
||||
3. There are drivers for serial controller, ImageWriter (II?) printer, and networking. I’m not currently familiar with the state of these drivers or their usage. More info will be added as I take time to research more of the modules.
|
||||
Configuration Menu
|
||||
Enter the configuration menu at any time while running gsport by hitting <F4>.
|
||||
The configuration options are loaded from, and saved to, a configuration text file. The file can be named one of the following: config.txt, config.gsplus, or .gsplus.
|
||||
If you are just starting out, it’s recommended to use the configuration menu versus editing the file yourself.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Most important, you can use the Disk Configuration menu option to “mount” and “eject” disks.
|
||||
Debugger Commands
|
||||
Enter from the debugger prompt (Shift-F6)
|
||||
GSport Debugger help (courtesy Fredric Devernay)
|
||||
General command syntax: [bank]/[address][command]
|
||||
e.g. 'e1/0010B' to set a breakpoint at the interrupt jump pt
|
||||
Enter all addresses using lower-case. As with the IIgs monitor, you can omit the bank number after having set it: 'e1/0010B' followed by '14B' will set breakpoints at e1/0010 and e1/0014
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
g Go
|
||||
[bank]/[addr]g Go from [bank]/[address]
|
||||
s Step one instruction
|
||||
[bank]/[addr]s Step one instr at [bank]/[address]
|
||||
[bank]/[addr]B Set breakpoint at [bank]/[address]
|
||||
B Show all breakpoints
|
||||
[bank]/[addr]D Delete breakpoint at [bank]/[address]
|
||||
[bank]/[addr1].[addr2] View memory
|
||||
[bank]/[addr]L Disassemble memory
|
||||
P Dump the trace to 'pc_log_out'
|
||||
Z Dump SCC state
|
||||
I Dump IWM state
|
||||
[drive].[track]I Dump IWM state
|
||||
E Dump Ensoniq state
|
||||
[osc]E Dump oscillator [osc] state
|
||||
R Dump dtime array and events
|
||||
T Show toolbox log
|
||||
[bank]/[addr]T Dump tools using ptr [bank]/[addr] as 'tool_set_info'
|
||||
[mode]V XOR verbose with 1=DISK, 2=IRQ,4=CLK,8=SHADOW,10=IWM,20=DOC,
|
||||
40=ABD,80=SCC, 100=TEST, 200=VIDEO
|
||||
[mode]H XOR halt_on with 1=SCAN_INT,2=IRQ, 4=SHADOW_REG, 8=C70D_WRITES
|
||||
r Reset
|
||||
[0/1]=m Changes m bit for l listings
|
||||
[0/1]=x Changes x bit for l listings
|
||||
[t]=z Stops at absolute time t (obsolete)
|
||||
S show_bankptr_bank0 & smartport errs
|
||||
P show_pmhz
|
||||
A show_a2_line_stuff show_adb_log
|
||||
Ctrl-e Dump registers
|
||||
[bank]/[addr1].[addr2]us[file] Save mem area to [file]
|
||||
[bank]/[addr1].[addr2]ul[file] Load mem area from [file]
|
||||
v Show video information
|
||||
q Exit Debugger (and GSport)
