HI all! Looking for a good stable up to date Apple IIGS Emulator that will run in Windows 7 ? I have a bunch of apple IIGS warez I want to boot up but can't seem to find any IIGS Emulators that actually work the way they are supposed to.

Would be really nice to see a IIGS emulator something simular to Applewin's layout! Or even better , add-in a IIGS emulator to Applewin! Wouldn't that be nice :O)

Thanks and I look forward to your replys.

Patrick.

It's hard to know what you mean by "work like they are supposed to," but
I like GSport for opening random GS program disks. Once I teach the
Windows desktop that GSport.exe is a candidate for .dsk, .po, etc., I
can just right click on a file system icon and "Open with->GSport.exe"
and it boots off of that disk (no matter if it needs to fit into a
5-1/4" slot, a 3-1/2" slot, or a hard drive slot).

It doesn't have anything like AppleWin's polish, of course - but using
"Open with," I don't have to touch the emulation interface 95% of the time.

So I guess ActiveGS on Virtual Apple II, Kegs, Sheppy's Sweet16, etc are not good enough. As far as I can see, they all work the way they are supposed to. But then who am I to judge.

There's one problem with Sweet 16, It's a Mac only GS emulator. It's an excellent GS emulator, I use it all the time, but it's not for our PC brothers and sisters. When I've used a PC I've used both KEGS and ActiveGS, they're good but Sweet 16 beats them hands down.

Though I have a Mac, I find that when I need to run Sweet16, I just boot into my laptop OSx86/Hackintosh partition and run Sweet16 from there.

It will probably also work on a VirtualBox guest environment; maybe slower, but you're just trying to emulate an originally 2.8 MHz machine anyway. OS X runs fairly well in VirtualBox. Last I tried was Snow Leopard, and I didn't try running Sweet16 back then.

Sorry ,

Will be running on a PC Windows 7 . Home Version . For some reason or another I can only get it to run a game once :O( I go into the program and boot up manually after loading the image file to memory . and do a normal bootup and nothing. who knows , maybe Im not doing it correctly for the key sequences?

Thanks.

Patrick.

I use AppleWin1.14.0-beta in Windows 7 ultimate with no problems I've noticed yet. Granted the only thing i've been using it for is Wasteland. Do have Kegs .91 but i can't seem to get it to work right. But then, I only currently have the Wasteland disks on my computer.
