Description:

Virtual ][ is an application that emulates the vintage Apple II computer on your Mac

Key features

• Emulates the Apple ][, ][+ and //e
• Supports USB game pad and joystick
• Save and restore snapshots of a running machine
• Full-screen mode
• Works with popular disk image formats, such as dsk, 2mg, and woz
• Epson FX-80 and Imagewriter II emulation
• Many configurable peripheral cards
• Realistic sound effects, including Mockingboard emulation
• Convert original Apple II diskettes
• Index your Apple II disk images
• Debug Apple II programs

Virtual ][ lets you play the old Apple games, because it supports all graphics modes, lets you control the game paddles with a USB game pad or mouse and emulates the internal speaker.

If you arrive at a critical point in a game you can save a snapshot of the virtual machine. You can then return to that point in case your game character doesn't survive.

Virtual ][ emulates many peripheral devices: floppy disk, hard disk, mouse, serial port, matrix printer, even cassette tape! It also emulates the Z80A processor, allowing you to run the CP/M operating system.

For the technically inclined: you can configure the machine by "inserting" and "removing" emulated peripheral cards, change the CPU speed, or even install your own emulated character generator ROM. The "Inspector" feature allows you to closely observe the behavior of the emulated machine and debug Apple II programs.

If you have original diskettes and a working Apple II, Virtual ][ can help you convert the diskettes to the Mac via a serial interface cable.

The program automatically indexes all Apple II disk images on your Mac, so you can find an Apple II file instantly, by entering its name.

You can download an evaluation version and try the application for free. If you like the program, you can buy a license and fully enjoy the nostalgic fun of the old Apple II computer.

Virtual ][ requires a Mac with macOS 10.13 ("High Sierra") or better.
