Vinace - VINtage Apple Computer Emulator
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Vinace needs gtkmm-2.4 and libpulse0 packages to be installed.
|
|
|
|
Vinace needs ROM image which are copyrighted and which can not be distributed with Vinace.
|
|
|
|
Current version uses file named APPLE2E.ROM contained in zip file located at :
|
|
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/apple_iie_rom.zip
|
|
|
|
How to test Vinace ?
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to build it from source :
|
|
|
|
1 - Download the source
|
|
2 - Enter trunk directory
|
|
3 - ./configure
|
|
4 - make
|
|
5 - Enter src/gui directory
|
|
6 - Copy ROM file APPLE2E.ROM into this directory
|
|
7 - ./vinace
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to build it from source but still want to try it :
|
|
|
|
1 - Download the binary
|
|
2 - tar xvf vinace.gz
|
|
3 - Enter the vinace directory
|
|
4 - Copy ROM file APPLE2E.ROM into this directory
|
|
5 - ./vinace
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to try it, get back to the dull 64 bits world.
|
|
|
|
Inside Vinace
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Now you should see a color screen and two disk drives.
|
|
|
|
Use the keyboard to type text in. The special keys are :
|
|
|
|
On your machine On the emulated Apple
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Ctrl-Break or Ctrl-Pause Ctrl-Reset
|
|
Left Alt Open Apple (joystick button 0)
|
|
Right Alt Closed Apple (joystick button 1)
|
|
|
|
You can issue a first Ctrl-Break to try Applesoft basic. And of course, a
|
|
Alt-Ctrl-Break will restart the computer (the Apple, not your actual computer).
|
|
|
|
If you want to use floppy disks, you can go to
|
|
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images
|
|
|
|
Vinace accept any file but works only with .dsk and .do files (DOS ordered disk
|
|
images). To insert a disk, just drag the file onto the disk drive 1. The lid
|
|
should automatically close. Then restart with a Alt-Ctrl-Break.
|
|
|
|
Disk drives are emulated with the same original speed which is quite... slow.
|
|
|
|
You can look if something is happening on the terminal output (look after
|
|
drive's head position changing, which means that the program is still alive).
