Apple 2 emulator for Linux

I would like help finding and installing an Apple 2 emulator for Linux - more specifically, Ubuntu 22.04 lts

I may need very specific help, as I am far from being a programmer - I don't even know how to compile...

 

Regards,

linapple-pie

I use linapple-pie, you can find on github and it builds and runs for me out of the box. So I think you basically clone and make. I am not at my PC now but the steps are approximately:

git clone https://github.com/dabonetn/linapple-pie. git

cd linapple-pie

make

./linapple-pie

It will boot with its default Master.dsk in drive 1, you use the -1 and -2 switches to set the initial disks e.g.

./linapple-pie -1 lemonade.dsk

You use Ctrl-Alt-F6 to toggle fullscreen and Ctrl-Alt-F10 to quit I think, and possibly Ctrl-Alt-F1 for help, there are other keys to change disks etc. 

Build was easy for me but then again I have most packages on my system already. You might try:

sudo apt install build-essential git libsdl2-dev

but I haven't tested this and I suggest read the INSTALL file in the repo, it will list dependencies. 

Linapple (not pie) does NOT work for me on a recent system. Note Linapple is a port of a very old version of Applewin and it's not super capable. When I want more advanced capabilities e.g. CP/M card, I run Applewin under Wine. This works very well but I am told the audio might be laggy. 

cheers, Nick

I use KEGS from the Terminal.

I use KEGS from the Terminal.

 

To use KEGS, you need to get a ROM image.

curl -O https://chamberscreek.net/code/apple/apple-iigs-rom-03.gz

gunzip -vc apple-iigs-rom-03.gz >ROM

 

You'll probably need a disk.

curl https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/ftp.apple.asimov.net/images/masters/DOS%203.3%20System%20Master.woz -o dos33.woz

 

Download the emulator source code.

curl -O http://kegs.sourceforge.net/kegs.1.16.tar.gz

tar -xzf kegs.1.16.tar.gz

 

Prepare to do some compiling!

rm -v kegs.1.16/src/vars

cp kegs.1.16/src/vars_x86linux kegs.1.16/src/vars

 

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

sudo apt-get install libxext-dev

sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev

 

make -C kegs.1.16/src xkegs

 

Install it locally.

mkdir -p build

cp kegs.1.16/xkegs ROM dos33.woz build/

 

Run it!

bash -c 'pushd build; ./xkegs; popd'

F6 toggles the speeds: as fast as possible, 1 MHz, 2.8 MHz, 8 Mhz

F4 brings up the configuration menu

Disk Configuration

s6d1 = dos33.woz

Boot the disk.
