[comp.sys.apple2] Apple //e Emulator

russotto@eng.umd.edu (Matthew T. Russotto) (10/06/90)

Anyone know any way of speeding up Randy Frank's Apple //e emulator
(ound at isca01.icaen.uiowa.edu)? Drastically?  Just for fun, I ported
the thing to my M*c running MPW 2.0.2, added support for paddles and lores
graphics (so the things still unsupported are double-res and hires graphics,
the standard character set, mousetext, and PAGE2).  It even reads Prodos disks
placed in drive 1!  (Kind of the hard way to do it, but... :-) )  It's kind of
interesting to watch the cursor blink every 30 seconds...
(and no, a M*c IIfx is NOT an option)
I already made macros out of the address-fetch operations, except for the
indirect ones, and made macros out of the get-and-set-status routines
(why was this #ifdef NEVERed?)
