February 23, 2012 Virtual ][, “The Best Apple II Emulator”, for Mac saw an update and now sits at version 6.5. Get it from the Box File Widget located on the blog homepage, or from their Let’s check out the changes. • Fixed an issue where the Mockingboard card could halt the virtual machine (this happened, for example, in Ultima IV). • Corrected an issue in the “floating bus” screen rendering, thereby improving compatibility.

• Fixed an issue that could cause stray pixels on the emulated screen when switching from 80-column text to low-resolution graphics. • Improved screen rendering perfomance by using Apple’s Grand Central Dispatch technology.

From a setup standpoint, it's no trickier than Catakig: create a new machine, click the Setup button, click 'Select different ROM Folder' and point the app at where your Apple II ROMs reside.

KEGS - An Apple IIgs emulator KEGS - Kent's Emulated GS An Apple IIgs emulator for Mac OS X, Win32, Linux, and Unix/X11 Download version 0.91 - Virtual Modem support • • • • (previous release) WARNING: The previous KEGS release, v0.90, has been pulled since it had a serious bug in handling Smartport devices. Large file copies from the Finder (and other GSOS applications) could have data corruption caused by a bug in new code in v0.90.

Version 0.91 and later have the bug corrected. ProDOS 8 applications were not vulnerable to the bug.

I'll write directions on how to generate the ROM file later. Some of the other emulator pages give directions on how to create a ROM file. Bootcamp for mac torrent. The are several ways to transfer files from your Apple IIgs to your machine.

The method I use is to create ShrinkIt disk archives of the 5.25' or 3.5' disks you want to transfer. Then, transfer those.SHK files to your computer. You can use modem/serial line transfer, or some other less direct method. Non-Apple machines cannot read the 800K 3.5' disk format. I admit, all of these paths are tedious. Once you have the.SHK files on the workstation, you're home free.

Use nulib to extract the disk image from the archive. Edit KEGS's 'kegs_conf' file to point to the image, and you're off! Nulib works like tar: 'nulib tv foo.shk' lists the archive and 'nulib xv foo.shk' will extract the disk image. If you have.BXY files, you need to use 'nulib xb foo.bxy' to extract the files.

KEGS information KEGS emulates an Apple IIgs accurately at between 8MHz and 120MHz on pretty much any Unix/Linux computer, Win32, or Mac OS X.
