003- What Apple II emulators are available and where can
I get them?
The most popular 8-bit Apple II emus are AppleWin and Apple Oasis, which
run under PC Windows, and Apple-PC, which runs under PC DOS and includes support
for Mockingboard sound. These programs can turn your PC into an enhanced Apple
//e running at least as fast as the real thing using software from virtual disks
(disk image files). There are also 8-bit Apple II emus for Macs (one, Catakig,
emulates a II, II+, or IIe) and Amiga (Apple 2000).
For IIgs emulation some good choices include Bernie ][ The Rescue (for Mac
Power PC), KEGS (which runs under Win32, Mac OS X, Linux, and Unix's), ActiveGS
(an Active-X port of KEGS), XGS (runs on PC's and Macs under a variety of OS's
including DOS, Windows, and Unix), plus KEGS/32 and XGS/32 (for PC Windows).
Another good looking IIgs emu is Sweet-16.
Running on modern machines, the current emulators do well on benchmarks
vis-a-vis an accelerated IIgs. To get some idea of how the GS emus stack up, see
the benchmarks comparison chart by Gilles Tschopp in FAQs resource file
R026GSEMUS.htm . (This benchmark is a bit old and doesn't include all IIgs emus
or take into account improvements to later versions of the emulators listed.)
For more emulator information, check out the comp.emulators.apple2
newsgroup and visit some of the emu websites.
