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... - Version: 5.5, 10/7/2006 04:59PM PST

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).
