Update 5.4 -> 5.5 breaks license - Version: 5.5, 10/8/2006 12:09AM PST

I can't update to 5.5 because doing so breaks my license. The new version runs in demo mode. Restoring from backup repairs the damage, if any.

Apple ][ forever...

The Apple ][ was recently voted the greatest PC of all time by PCWorld. I think you can say without a doubt that Virtual ][ is the greatest Apple ][ emulator of all time.
I purchased this emulator ages ago and it just keeps getting better and better.

I've played around with Virtual II a few times, but don't have that many IIe titles to justify the cost of the software. But it defintely has the most features of any of the ones out there.
I did have a question .... Ever planning to include IIgs emulation? I have a lot of old games from my IIgs days, and the small selection of IIgs emulators dont run very well (if at all).

Pres!
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this before now... Oops!
As an Apple ][+ user from way back (I was half of the "team" that frankensteined Castle Smurfenstein from Muse's classic Castle Wolfenstein), it's great to have an emulator that truly recreates the 8-bit experience. Little details, like the accurate reproduction of the sound of the disk drive mechanism shuffling back and forth as it loads from the disk images, while totally useless, are utterly cool. It wouldn't be an Apple ][ if it just loaded up without a peep! (And yes you can turn if off if you've had enough nostalgia...)
It allows you to save the state of the machine so you can resume where you were, or always start a given game at the startup screen without all that disk shuffling if you like. You can print in fully-accurate dot-matrix glory and save the output to a PDF file. It comes with a slew of virtual cards to fill its virtual slots so you can be the envy of all your friends 25 years ago.
The price of the full license feels a bit high at first, but then again thinking about all the karma I've accumulated from the games I copied back then...now that I'm a grownup with an actual income, I can certainly afford to pay the price of one game (then or now, the prices haven't changed a whole lot) to help balance the scales a bit! It took me about two seconds to fork over the license fee, and I've had that warm fuzzy feeling ever since.
It's 80's-tastic!

A large quantity of Apple II software has been released into the Public Domain. You can download the disk images here:

Where to get Apple ][ software? - Version: 3.5, 5/24/2005 08:20PM PST

It would be helpful to know where on Earth I could get some of the games (etc) that run on the Apple ][, for use with the emulator. Even if I were to locate a game, it would probably be on 5 1/4 " floppy, and I am having trouble locating the 5 1/4" floppy drive on my PowerBook...

I *really* like the ability to run faster than a real Apple ][. It makes a huge difference. I agree with the comment about color-blurred text in HiRes. I know this is the way it looked on the original machines, but I would love to see it improved.
Why use an Apple ][ emulator? Because I find many of the old games far more entertaining thant the endless twitch bloodbaths tha seem to be almost all that is made for the Mac
