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.
|
||
Command-line Options
|
||
This is from source, some are experimental and not all may be built on your system.

|
||
-16 Use 16-bit display depth
|
||
-15 Use 15-bit display depth
|
||

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

|
||
40=ABD,80=SCC, 100=TEST, 200=VIDEO
