Re: AppleIIGo 2.0 Build 301

It's great to see such positive responses!

Regarding Windows... it should be the same to compile under Linux, Mac
OS X or Windows: SDL takes care of audio/video/keyboard/mouse/
joysticks, wxWidgets takes care of the user interface, libpcap takes
care of Ethernet. The only thing I haven't researched yet is platform
independent access to serial ports. For now (as a test), I am using
Cocoa for the GUI. It's a good exercise, as I'm trying to minimize
Cocoa interaction, and keep everything in a platform independent box.

Regarding the missing .nib files, you can compile the project without
them. Just erase their reference in XCode (Thanks for noticing, I'll
update asap).

Regarding interested developers, please get in touch with me! I'd
certainly could use some help, as the project has been growing
exponentially, and I can't keep up with it.

I'd say the project is about 50% done, and my priorities are:

* develop a microcode execution unit for the MOS6502, W65C02 and
W65C816S. Why microcode? It's the most accurate emulation and it uses
little program code (so all the code runs in the CPU cache). Thanks to
Vladimir Ivanov for this idea.
* develop an NTSC color emulation, based on Blargg's NTSC code.
* develop a cross-platform GUI, so Windows and Linux users can start
enjoying it.

I guess that's what's needed to get the first 99.95% accurate Apple II
emulator. The next step is the IIGS (but I have already implemented
the IIGS's MMU, IOU, memory allocation, and IWM disk drives).

Best wishes,

Marc.-

Hello there,

I just released the latest beta of AppleIIGo 2.0, the accurate, open
Apple II emulator. Its URL is:

http://code.google.com/p/appleiigo

This build implements an Apple IIc ROM 04 with two 5.25" disk drives,
two UniDisk 3.5" disk drives, and two SmartPort hard disks. It handles
these file formats: DSK, D13, PO, NIB, V2D, 2IMG, HDV, FDI. There is
no speaker sound nor NTSC for now.

This build is only Mac OS X, I am working on portability. Windows and
Linux folks, stay tuned!
