Sat back with iPhone Explorer tonight, copied over some dsk images and then editted the XML file and voila! Full working emulator. Too bad I haven't found a way to enable the tab bar at the bottom nor the ability to switch dsk images in game (for Multi disk games). The dev even included System 6 for the IIgs, add that to the XML and enjoy! Just hit enter past all the errors. --- Anyone else explored this app?
Apple2gs Could you post the games that you have running, is it possible to run GEOS They have an apple 2 version
Apple 2 I figured out how to load multiple diskimages put them all in a zip archive called game.dsk.zip it should work, orgen trail did.
Are all the file formats 2mg (or something like that) ? and do you have to create all those png files for the images ?
I'm not getting the items in my main list I edited the list.activegsxml file but no luck? I have several of these in that file now <config version="2" id="Space Ace"> <name>Space Ace</name> <year>1991</year> <publisher>FTA</publisher> <desc>A Stellar7 tribute! </desc> <pic type="thumbnail" width="64" height="40">bouncinferno_4.png</pic> <format>2GS</format> <image slot="5" disk="1">Space Ace.dsk.zip</image> <bootslot>5</bootslot> </config> Is there anither file, or am i doing something wrong?
Do I need to put the games in the Documents folder? I tried tons of things and not getting anything to work. Could you give us a small explanation on how and where to put things? Thanks so much
Back in high school in 1985, the math lab had a powerful mac (wish I knew which one). It had a function where you input a simple formula like X + Y = 16, and it created different graphic effects loops across the entire screen. I loved it and it was always in the back of my brain all these years trying to figure what it was. Any one know what that was? Any chance of that in this program?
The games can go in the .app directory And for multiple dsk Images you could try: disk="1">Space Ace1.dsk</image> disk="2">Space Ace2.dsk</image> To divest the dsk files, it worked with APPLE GE OS
I'm not even getting single disks to work. The files are ending with 2gm and did it the way as everything else, except the images.
What file needs to be modified ???? I did the list.activegsxml but that's not the right file. I replaced it with something else, and it still has all the games in it, while I deleted all except for 1. So it's using a different file.. but what? All I have are Plist files. unless there is something else?
I don't get it I have system 6 running from the list.activegsxml and GEOS and orgen trail. Here is what text I added for coustom games: --> **<config version="2" id="system 6"> ** *<name>system 6</name> ** *<year>1977</year> ** *<publisher>Apple</publisher> ** *<desc>Mac OS 6</desc> ** *<desc> ** * *<![CDATA[ ** * *<p> ** * *The Apple II (often rendered Apple ][ or Apple //) was an 8-bit home computer, one of the first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products, designed primarily by Steve Wozniak, manufactured by Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) and introduced in 1977 source : wikipedia. ** * *This is a system 6 emulator for iOS you cann launch all prodos files, recoded by sciencematthew .</p> ** * *<p> ** * *System 6 ** * *</p> ** * * ** * *]]></desc> ** *<pic type="thumbnail" width="64" height="40">noisetracker_1.png</pic> ** *<format>2GS</format> ** *<image slot="5" disk="1">SYSTEM6.2MG</image> ** * * *<pic type="screenshot" width="320" height="200">noisetracker_0.png</pic> ** * * * * * * *<pic type="screenshot" width="320" height="200">noisetracker_1.png</pic> ** * * * * * * *<pic type="screenshot" width="320" height="200">noisetracker_2.png</pic> ** * * * ** *<bootslot>5</bootslot> (I did not bother to change the images attached.) Hope this helps!
Some of the text is changed when I posed it once my server is running again I will post the activegsxml and working games there.
Think I figure out why. you have to close the program on the ipad and also in the background. If not, and you copy the new file, the end task in the taskbar will create a new XML file..
How to add system 6 ( and other games/os) to active GS Step 1: open iPhone explorer and locate best of fta.app directory Step 2: copy list.activegsxml to desktop. Step 3: scroll down to the last "boot slot 5" and paste: --> **<config version="2" id="system 6"> ** *<name>system 6</name> ** *<year>1977</year> ** *<publisher>Apple</publisher> ** *<desc>Mac OS 6</desc> ** *<desc> ** * *<![CDATA[ ** * *<p> ** * *The Apple II (often rendered Apple ][ or Apple //) was an 8-bit home computer, one of the first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products, designed primarily by Steve Wozniak, manufactured by Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) and introduced in 1977 source : wikipedia. ** * *This is a system 6 emulator for iOS you cann launch all prodos files, recoded by sciencematthew .</p> ** * *<p> ** * *System 6 ** * *</p> ** * * ** * *]]></desc> ** *<pic type="thumbnail" width="64" height="40">noisetracker_1.png</pic> ** *<format>2GS</format> ** *<image slot="5" disk="1">SYSTEM6.2MG</image> ** * * *<pic type="screenshot" width="320" height="200">noisetracker_0.png</pic> ** * * * * * * *<pic type="screenshot" width="320" height="200">noisetracker_1.png</pic> ** * * * * * * *<pic type="screenshot" width="320" height="200">noisetracker_2.png</pic> ** * * * ** *<bootslot>5</bootslot> Step 4: Then u can rename system6.2nd to any other .dsk or 2mg file(case sensitive, only apple 2gs support at this time) Step 5: copy list.activegsxml back to where it came from. Step 6: re-start the best of fta app on the idevice. Step 7: enjoy!!! Edit: please take out the * I will make a pre edited one on my server when it is back online.
This should be enough it seems to work for the games also <config version="2" id="system 6"> <name>system 6</name> <format>2GS</format> <image slot="5" disk="1">SYSTEM6.2MG</image> <bootslot>5</bootslot> for multi disks you use <image slot="5" disk="1">SYSTEM6 disk 1.2MG</image> <image slot="5" disk="2">SYSTEM6 disk 2.2MG</image> <image slot="5" disk="3">SYSTEM6 disk 3.2MG</image> Don't change the slot number, if you use 1, then it's doing some kind of a test
