An Apple /// emulator!
OK, I announced prematurely. First I want to get my new computer desk built
and I need to get some stuff still, but I think I got enough info to do
this. And this will be my first new emulator in years.
I'm going to play a little fast and loose with the TTY code as there's still
some stuff I don't know (for one, how do you reload a charset on this
thing?, and for another, the only graphics modes I know how to operate are
the 280x192x2, 280x192x16/2 per 7x1 and 560x192x2 modes, so there's at least
one other mode), and probably use a 65C02 core instead of 6502 (a typicality
of my emulation work). Since there's no split screen, this will be a bit
easier than the ][.
I could also create a better /// this way... xD Like if I added an optional
Apple ][ language card to the emulation, which a real /// can't handle
because it has no slot 0 (though would there be anything stopping a person
from shoving a LC in slot 1 or 3 other than having to patch everything to
use the new addresses?)
