KEGS is an Apple IIgs emulator for Mac OS X, Linux, and Win32. The Apple
|
|
|
|
|
IIgs was the most powerful computer in the Apple II line. It first was
|
|
|
|
|
sold in 1986. An Apple IIgs has the capability to run almost all Apple
|
|
|
|
|
II, Apple IIe, and Apple IIc programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
KEGS requires a ROM image dumped from an Apple IIgs. This will typically
|
|
|
|
|
be called either "rom01" (131072 bytes) or "rom03" (262144 bytes),
|
|
|
|
|
and will often be distributed in zip files called apple2g1.zip and
|
|
|
|
|
apple2gs.zip (for use with MESS). This package can optionally include
|
|
|
|
|
the ROM file. To do this, place the ROM image in the slackbuild
|
|
|
|
|
directory before running the script. The image will be installed
|
|
|
|
|
as /usr/share/kegs/rom03 (or rom01). If you do not include the ROM
|
|
|
|
|
in the package, you will need to manually copy the rom03 image to
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/share/kegs/rom03 before the emulator will work properly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optional dependency: If you intend to run Apple's GS/OS in
|
|
|
|
|
the emulator, you will need macutils to extract the .sea.bin
|
|
|
|
|
archives from Apple's website. Download disk image(s) from
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html and then
|
|
|
|
|
run e.g.:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ macunpack -d Disk_2_of_7-System.Disk.sea.bin
|
|
|
|
|
$ mv Disk_2_of_7-System.Disk.data system_disk.dsk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mount system_disk.dsk on slot 5 using the config menu within xkegs,
|
|
|
|
|
set slot 5 as the default startup device in the IIgs control panel,
|
|
|
|
|
and you should be booting into the IIgs native GUI environment.
