04.003 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, the current speed and compatibility leader is Bernie ]
[ The Rescue. Bernie is shareware which runs on the Mac Power PC.
The chief competition for Bernie is probably KEGS (v0.82) which runs under
Mac OS-X, Win32, Linux, and many Unix's. Another IIgs emu, XGS, runs on PC's
and Macs under a variety of OS's including DOS, Windows, and Unix. KEGS/32 and
XGS/32 are for PC Windows. Another good looking IIgs emu is Sweet-16 (BeOS).
On modern machines, Bernie, XGS, and KEGS 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.
