I have yet to receive my Axim but I'm getting prepared. I'm looking forward to killing time with nostalgia and I've searched out a few apple emulators. Does anyone have experience with the programs found here:

All the games you want can be found:

Oh yeah.....:D

Just tried the 2e emulator and it works. I had the desktop emulator version, so I had some images already. I played Karateka on the PPC and it looks, plays and sounds just fine.

Thanks for the link!

Hi Guys!

I think this emulator is great, but I have a question... How do you press "Escape". I have Taipan, and to start the game you have to press Escape, but I haven't figured out that one yet!

Thanks,

Carlitos

Thanks Jake!

Yes, this emulator rocks. I am playing Bard's Tale III on it. The only gripe I have with this emulator is that it doesn't have save states, and you can't map hardware keys. A lot of games use direction keys, and it would be handy to map the d-pad to it... and not type the keyboard with the stylus in this case.

Sorry about asking again... But... I am trying to press CTRL-[ to emaulate ESC, but on my Axim, when you press CTRL and press the "123" key to go and find [, CTRL is not in effect anymore...

Any other way? Something I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Hmm... Seems to me you are doing it a bit wrong. Just press the CTRL key and then press [. Don't go in to the 123 key.

Hi Lost Dog...

The thing is that the [ key is not in the same screen as the CTRL key in the keyboard layout on my AXIM... The CTRL key is the the "letter" layout whilst the [ key is in the "number" or "123" layout...


How do I do this? Thanks!

It's not right below the backspace key?

Odd!

Carlitos

Thanks for your patience!!! Thing is that I use the large key options for the inpout keyboard layout, which places this item on the second page. I just change to the small keys and it's right there!!!


Thanks a lot again!

Best regards,

I had a problem with this emulator. I loaded it onto my SD card. When I clicked on the Apple Icon it said that the program was attempting an illegal operation. Do I need to load this program into my main memory? Any other tips for smooth operation?

Anybody know where I can get a IIe manual. I downloaded a disk image with lots of stuff on it and I dont know how to 'load' it and run it in the emu?

Thanks,

Most games for the //e loaded on boot-up from the floppy.

If you have some BASIC stuff, then the typical LOAD <filename> and RUN will (or *should*) take care of it. I think CAT or CATALOG gave you the directory.

I got a //e at my parents house somewhere. Now I want to find it and see if it still works!
