This emulator came about because of ApplePC. It was a DOS only application with a horrible interface, and you had to tune it to get it work at the correct speed for your machine. But it had absolutely the most accurate looking screen that I have even seen on an Apple emulator at that time or ever since. Current emulators still to this day can’t match the fidelity of what that old DOS program could do.

+So, to make a long story even longer, ApplePC disappeared off the face of the earth and I thought it was a shame that the screen rendering of that emulator should disappear with it. Also, there are, for some reason, absolutely no Apple II emulators for Linux! A deplorable situation! And so I resolved to fix that by figuring out how ApplePC did its video tricks and by writing an emulator for Linux. At the same time, since I write pretty much all my software cross-platform, Windows and MacOS X ports come along for free!

+Apple2 emulates an enhanced Apple //e with the following features:

+By mousing over the right side of the screen, the emulator control bar will appear; moving the mouse off of the bar will cause it to disappear. On the bar are seven icons, labeled (from top to bottom): power, disk one, disk two, swap disks, save state, load state, and configure. Here’s what they do:
