MAME OS X INSTALL AND SETUP SOFTWARE

This is very useful when using terminal emulation software on the Aplle II, or in my case when developing terminal emulation software. Taking things further, it is possible to use socat to connect that SSC port to a local bash shell. Once this has been run, you can attach a terminal to this port. mame apple2p -noreadconfig -skip_gameinfo -verbose -speed 10 -window -nomax -sl2 ssc -sl2:ssc:ssc_rs232 null_modem -bitbanger socket.127.0.0.1:2023 -sl3 videoterm -sl4 applicard -flop1 TestDisk.po mame apple2p -noreadconfig -skip_gameinfo -verbose -uimodekey CAPSLOCK -speed 10 -window -nomax -sl2 ssc -sl2:ssc:ssc_rs232 null_modem -bitbanger output.txt -sl3 videoterm -sl4 applicard -flop1 TestDisk.poĪn altogether more interesting configuration is to bind the bi-directional SSC to a socket and then connect to that socket using a network terminal.įor example the following command connects the SSC to local host port 2023. The following example configures the SSC for slot 2, configured as a Null Modem, sending all output to the file output.txt.

MAME OS X INSTALL AND SETUP SERIAL

The Apple II Super Serial Card (SSC) can be emulated, however, typically the I/O of the card is mapped to a stream such as a file or a socket. mame apple2p -noreadconfig -skip_gameinfo -speed 3 -window -nomax -sl3 videoterm -sl4 softcard -flop1 TestDisk.poĪlternatively a PCPI Z80 Applicard mame apple2p -noreadconfig -skip_gameinfo -speed 3 -window -nomax -sl3 videoterm -sl4 applicard -flop1 TestDisk.po The following command replaces the default Mockingboard in slot 4 with a MS Z80 Softcard and the TestDisk.po disk image in floppy drive 1. Example: Replacing the Mockingboard with a Z80 Card Mame with Videoterm Card shows both 40 and 80 column screens. mame apple2p -noreadconfig -skip_gameinfo -speed 3 -window -nomax -sl3 videoterm -flop1 TestDisk.po The following command adds the Videx Videterm Card to slot 3 and the TestDisk.po disk image in floppy drive 1. The MAME documentation ( ) will explain the remaining switches. mame apple2p -noreadconfig -skip_gameinfo -speed 3 -window -nomax -flop1. Notice that in this case the emulation is being instructed to run at 3 times normal speed ( -speed 3) and that the disk image is located in the parent directory. To create a default Apple II+ with the above configuration, with the disk TestDisk.po in floppy 1, the following command can be used. The default settings for the Apple II+ emulation include an Apple II 16K Language Card in Slot 0, a Sweet Micro Systems Mockingboard in slot 4 and an Apple Disk II NG controller in slot 6. To see the default slot configurations execute the following command mame -listdevices apple2p

MAME OS X INSTALL AND SETUP FULL

To see a full list, execute the following command. The romset includes several peripheral card emulations including the Videx Videoterm. From the ~/mame directory execute mame (see Emulating the Apple II+ below).Īlternatively the path to the ‘roms’ directory can be specified using the -rompath parameter (see ) Within that directory create the roms directory containing the zipped rom files. zipped) into a directory called roms in the directory that you will be running mame from.

MAME OS X INSTALL AND SETUP ARCHIVE

The romset will be a zip archive file, copy this file as it is (i.e. These will need to be obtained before going further. There are others for the GS, IIc and so on. This is a specific MAME romset, and for the Apple II+ it is called apple2p the Apple //e romset is called apple2e.

$ brew install mameīefore running the mame binary, it is necessary to obtain the Apple II+ romset. SDL Mame can be installed using the brew package manager ( ) e.g. SDL 2 can be installed with the brew package manager ( ). This is a multimedia library that lets MAME display graphics, sounds and read keyboards and game controllers. However, for the purposes of this article and to keep things simple, I will only be looking at emulating an Apple II+. MAME is quite remarkable in the number of systems it can emulate, as a result some of the concepts can take a little time to get used to, and configurations can take some time to perfect. To get a true emulation of the Videx card, it seems the only emulator to use on MacOS is the cross platform MAME software. Whilst I can heartily recommend this emulator, for me at least, the inability to accurately emulate the Videx Videoterm 80 column display has been a serious problem. In the article, the emulator described was the Virtual ][ emulator ( ).

The article 6502 Cross Assembly for the Apple II using MacOS, describes, as the titles suggests, how to use a modern text editor, cross compiler and Apple II emulator for developing software for the Apple II using MacOS.
