The Apple +IIgs was the most powerful computer in the Apple II line. It first was +sold in 1986. An Apple IIgs has the capability to run almost all Apple +II, Apple IIe, and Apple IIc programs. + +KEGS requires a ROM image dumped from an Apple IIgs. This will typically +be called either "rom01" (131072 bytes) or "rom03" (262144 bytes), +and will often be distributed in zip files called apple2g1.zip and +apple2gs.zip (for use with MESS). This package can optionally include +the ROM file. To do this, place the ROM image in the slackbuild +directory before running the script. The image will be installed +as /usr/share/kegs/rom03 (or rom01). If you do not include the ROM +in the package, you will need to manually copy the rom03 image to +/usr/share/kegs/rom03 before the emulator will work properly. + +Optional dependency: If you intend to run Apple's GS/OS in +the emulator, you will need macutils to extract the .sea.bin +archives from Apple's website. Download disk image(s) from +http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html and then +run e.g.: + +$ macunpack -d Disk_2_of_7-System.Disk.sea.bin +$ mv Disk_2_of_7-System.Disk.data system_disk.dsk + +Mount system_disk.dsk on slot 5 using the config menu within xkegs, +set slot 5 as the default startup device in the IIgs control panel, +and you should be booting into the IIgs native GUI environment. |
