Technical notes

Apple II emulator written in Go by Ivan Izaguirre. Boards: Apple ][ and ][+ with 48 KB, Apple IIe and //e enhanced with 128 KB, and two clones, the Copam Base 64A and the Basis 108 (setup.go:36-58).

Every ROM the machine needs is compiled into the binary. The whole resources directory is embedded with //go:embed (resources.go:25-26) and the 17 machine configs with //go:embed configs/*.cfg (configuration.go:51-52). LoadResource routes a name by its prefix: / reads the embedded filesystem, http:// and https:// fetch over the network, anything else is a path on disk (resources.go:55-88). The shipped configs name main ROM, character ROM and boot diskette as / paths, so the emulator starts into DOS 3.3 with no file on disk. The base64a and basis108 configs set rom: , which dispatches to loadMultiPageRom over six embedded PROM dumps each (setup.go:189-199, boardBase64a.go:7-16, boardBasis108.go:28-37).

Two of the 27 registered cards name an image the emulator downloads instead of carrying: prodosromdrive and prodosromcard3 (cardBuilder.go:85-86). Both read the card slot ROM out of that image, so neither card has a boot ROM without it. No shipped model uses either card, they are reached with -sN. prodosnvramdrive is left out of the factory (cardBuilder.go:87).

-rom and -charrom replace the embedded main and character ROM with a file of the user's choosing, and every disk, hard disk and cassette parameter takes user media and defaults to empty.

Seven frontends besides the core: a2sdl, a2sdl3, a2fyne, a2ebiten, a2wasm, console and headless. ES-DE runs a2sdl, built as izapple2sdl_linux_amd64 or izapple2sdl_windows_amd64.exe, and passes the image as a positional argument. The libretro core in frontend/a2libretro builds from source only, is absent from the buildbot and the RetroArch online updater (doc/libretro.md), and its izapple2_libretro.info declares firmware_count = 0. It exposes the machine as a model option and no card configuration, so the two card images cannot be reached through it.
