Apple II Still In Use

Submitted by 6502enhanced on April 1, 2017 - 8:03am

Why still using an Apple II for daily work?
Well, the Apple II is an extraordinary computer. The Keyboard is very comfortable to use. There is so much perfected software for every task you want to solve. The slots make him intelligent and give the possibility to add still new hardware to it. And I think one of the reasons why we are all here: It has a special atmosphere that makes you love it.
So I like to use it for tasks in my ordinary work and private life.

What is DHGR really capable of? Not content with existing A2 graphic converters?

Submitted by lukazi on March 25, 2017 - 9:53am

Hi All,

I've spent the last few months trying to see what Double High Resolution Graphics (DHGR) is really capable of. It's a work in progress but the results look promising.

Game I/O port issues

Any game I try to play with joystick support seems to be stuck in one position regardless if the joystick is plugged in or not.

On the theme of BASIC I happened to find this.
An Apple II emulator for the Nintendo DS.

It's not new, but interesting none the less.

Aztec

Submitted by wishtoknow on March 20, 2017 - 11:46pm

This game has struck me as being an oddity.

I remember it being it in Hi-Res.
Which it is isn't?

Upon close inspection I noticed that it has
purple borders.(Assuming you have a colour
monitor or TV. Sorry for those that do not)
This is not Hi-Res, but Lo-Res.

How do you get Hi-Res and Lo-Res on the
screen at once?

C056 - select Lo-Res
C057 - select Hi-Res
C054 - Hi-Res Page 1
C055 - Hi-Res Page 2
C053 - Mixed Mode - Hi-Res/Text Mode ONN
