>From the programmer who brought you Jon Relay's Apple II Info Archives
and ProDOS File Navigator 3.0, comes the newest Apple II emulation
project - Appleblossom.
The web page is here:
http://kreativekorp.cjb.net/apple2/appleblossom.html
Appleblossom is my own open-source Apple II emulator. Initially I just
wanted to port an Apple II emulator to iPodLinux, but while there are
quite a few open-source emulators out there, most of the ones I found
were hard to read, written in C++ (iPodLinux requires C), tied to a
specific platform, incomplete, or a combination of the four. So
Appleblossom is my effort to create an Apple II emulator that is
readable, portable, and as complete as I can make it.
Appleblossom currently emulates a typical 128K Apple IIe with
80-columns, Disk II, and hard drive. All graphics modes are supported.
Sound is not. Provisions are in place for serial support, but the
hardware is not implemented.
Appleblossom is open-source under GPL, so feel free to hack at it. If
you have any useful changes, send them back to me and I'll see if I can
fold them back in. Any help with the following would be greatly
appreciated:
* Bug fixes and general improvements to emulation accuracy
* Faster Disk II support
* Sound support
* Serial ports
* Mockingboard, mouse card, Echo II, SmartPort, other peripheral cards
I haven't implemented yet
* Locating ROMs for the above
* X-Window interface
