Virtual lets you play all 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.

When you want to temporarily interrupt gameplay, Virtual ][ allows you to save the entire virtual machine, and continue later on from where you left off.

But Virtual also supports more "serious" software, because it emulates many peripheral devices: floppy disk, hard disk, mouse, matrix printer, even cassette tape! It is also able to emulate the Z80A processor, allowing you to run the CP/M operatng system.

And 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.

Here are some key features of "Virtual":

· Emulates the Apple ][, ][+ and //e
· Supports USB game pad or joystick
· Save a machine and resume later on
· Full-screen mode
· Epson FX-80 emulation
· Many configurable peripheral cards
· Realistic sound effects, including Mockingboard emulation.


Whats New in This Release:

· The A2V2 utility now supports transfer of Apple II disks containing half-tracks.
· Finished the implementation of the floating bus, and added an example Applescript to demonstrate this feature.
· Optimized graphic rendering, resulting in lower overall CPU load.
· Improved the compatibility of the Epson FX-80 emulation; it now works with the Fontrix application.
· The Inspector now shows the total CPU cycle count of the emulated 6502.
· Added an Applescript command to slow down text input from a script, and used it to make the included demo scripts easier to follow.
· Solved an issue where the text "Paused" could remain on the screen after a restart of the machine.
· The program could crash when a new diskette image was created and ejected. This has been solved.
· Solved an issue that could cause one disk image to be mounted in multiple drives at the same time.
