Features

Most things you should expect from an emulator

Installation

Note: To use this emulator, you must use compatibles DSK or NIB files. You also need at least the AppleII and disk bios. For resources, there is a big database in the asimov ftp or search for emulator like appleemu.

There are 2 versions of pomDS included, one runs faster but less compatibility and another version is slower but better in terms of compatbility, it is advised to choose the version that works best for the disk that you want to run.

DLDI patch the .nds file and copy it to the root directory of flashcard/SD/MMC card.

The rom files must also be placed in the root directory of your flashcard/SD/MMC card. Put your dsk files in the directory that you want.

User guide

When the emulator starts, click on the disk drive to choose a file. Use Up/Down to select a file, then use A to load it.

The default loaded file, if exists, is named master.dsk.

You can also click on the pomDS logo to have the option menu.

Compatibility

Some games would not work because the are copy protected. You can try to desactivate the FASTMODE mode in the option menu, after that you must do a RESET for the Apple II, this tip can make theses games playable. Be careful though, this mode often makes the program hangs. It is suggested to use this method at startup, load the file and do a RESET straight after.

Controls

D-Pad - Direction key (keyboard)

Changelog

Version 2.0 11/30/2008

Much faster since the integration of 6502 in ARM assembler.
Great sound improvement.
NIB format supported.
Sorting of the list of dsk and nib files.
New interface (a big thank you to zeblackos).
No need for Apple roms] [(integrated into the program).
Management of the DS standby mode (the closed cover pauses execution).
Addition of alpha lerp for a smoother appearance on the screen.
Addition the possibility of saving the screen in BMP format.
