appleii emulator

 

applewin ntsc - great rendering, no arb window size, no monochrome, no mockingboard, state save a bit strange, hgc text color seperation ok

applewin - green monitor, cp/m, mockingboard, rendering not good enough (color)

mess0.149 apple2e - rendering is too blurry (?), hgr bottom text no color separation, cp/m, text application might be great

applepc - one of the best apple iie emulator, but dos program, no cp/m

dosbox + applepc - somewhat wierd speed (u4 sea scrolling...)

smess0.149 at486 + applepc - great! almost right speed, mockingboard (ultima 5 music) bit faster, 

jace - great for midi, mockingboard (ultima5), no state save

 

 

 

C64

mess c64p - joystick 1 keyboard emulation problem, ccs64 (or vice) will be the best environment for c64 gaming

 

 

pc dos games

 

dosbox svn

the best environment for dos game, but image filter (bilinear) missing, no arbitrary sized window

 

qemu 0.11 + dos 

great for most of adlib based games, sb16 ???, 

for some of games sound weird (bard's tale)

state save avail !! (monitor mode: ctrl-alt-2, savevm ..., loadvm ..., ctrl-alt-1)

applepc  weirdly fast, no sound, cursor down not working in ultima 5 ??

        using this way, get cursor working back        

qemu -L bios -M isapc -cpu 486 -m 8 -boot c -hda \1\pc\112MB2.img -hdb fat::rw:F:\1\hde -soundhw pcspk,sb16,adlib,es1370 -vga std -sdl

 

        pc pentium still fail sound both mockingboard & speaker

        isapc 486 fail speaker sound, mockingboard ok (but noisy, speed too fast)

use fat32 usb flash one folder as hdd (mapping), WR avail !!! 

the best of arbitrary sized window

 

mess at486 + dos - good

bard's tale 1 sound ok (depending on soundcard, device driver, memory setting, nothing would be best)

once window size button is pressed, automatic resolution setting for best aspect or real screen size 

        (only for windows based mess)

arbitrary size window (with -nokeepaspect option, but min size is there)

need iso or disk img file to exchange files with host pc

 

 

how to exchange files in mess pc emulation hdd (.chd)

put into chd 

- use cd .iso image (created by imgburn)

put in / pull out

- fdd image .ima (.img) created by winimage

pull out

- chdman extractraw -o rawhddimagefilename -i chdhddfilename

   then using 7zip, can see through raw hdd image & copy files from the hdd image

put in

- make raw image of chd hdd first

- mount raw image as a hdd of qemu dos system (using qman70, very easy)

- mount a directory on a usb flash drive as an another hdd

- exchange data between raw image & usb hard directory ! 

put in

- prepare chd with dos formatted/system installed

- convert chd to raw img

- mount raw image on qemu dos machine as d:, folder as e: (see above qemu batch example)

- copy files from e: to d:

- re-convert raw image to chd

- remove old original chd file (or keep as backup)
