Honestly, I don’t know what that means but - nevertheless - it will allow us to run the Window’s programs required. Instead, it is described as a “compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications”. Wine (an acronym of Wine Is Not an Emulator) is described as not being an emulator or virtual machine.
We don’t want to install and pay for a large emulator or dual-boot our laptops so to avoid this we can use Wine. However, the programs that we want to use in this article are exclusively on Windows. If you run Mac or Linux, obviously, you cannot natively run Windows programs.
If all you want to know is how to emulate the Apple ii this should be a groovy read as well. This is part 5 of my learning assembly series, but whether or not you have read the rest should not matter (hopefully). If you aren’t familiar with ls-ing and cd-ing you can find some tips here. I will also assume a basic knowledge of how to navigate the terminal. We will compile 6502 Assembly code using cc65.
We will communicate between our modern machine and the emulator by using CiderPress.For those of us without a Windows machine, we will need a way to run the emulation (we’ll use Wine for this).We will need to find a way to emulate the Apple ii (we’ll use AppleWin).We will focus on how to get this to run on Linux or Mac, but this should also be transferable to Windows. However, this process could also be used to load on The Oregon Trail game, Ultima 1, Lode Runner, or any other piece of famous Apple ii software. The program we will load will be a small piece of code that we will write ourselves. In this article, we will go through the process of emulating the Apple ii and look at how to load programs onto it. What this success means for us is that there are a huge amount of games and programs that can run on the hardware. This was, in part, due to its appeal to not only hobbyists but also “normal” people. The Apple ii (or Apple ][, if you’re feeling stylish) is a personal computer from 1977 that sold exceptionally well for Apple, becoming the first personal computer to achieve commercial success. Long before the iPad, iPhone, and MacBook, Apple’s most successful product was the Apple ii.
