I call this the PSP blue screen of death creator. All it does is lock up my PSP so far. I got a few Apple2 ROMS, but the config.ini file asks for a slot7.rom? can't find this one or 1 or 2 others either. I know posting roms is illegal, but I do believe you can post a list of the reqired roms to get this emu to work. It'd be a shame if you put all the work into making the EMU and no one can run it. So my request is a list of all files needed to get this working.

I get to the config screens and load a disk image but when I hard reset I get the blue screen of death...: (

Either way, Thanks for your efforts so far...: ))

There's a link to the official site with the original zip file, it's prolly there...
(just trying to help out though, i'm not even interested in this emu)

this is the one i've been waiting for - i had an apple II before my 8 bit nintendo - i can't believe i now have the load runner on my psp. looks awesome and joystick support is great.

[wraggster]

ive used the original release file, they must know if the roms are legal or not to include in the emu ?

[cklee]

i would really appreciate it
if there is a FAQ on this emulator
like where the dsk goes etc
if renaming is needed

many thanks

Apple II Portable Confusion
Posted by NHD on Thursday, September 29 @ 18:04:53 EDT

There has been some understandable confusion about the roms and disks you need to make AIIP work.

For II emulation you need the Integer Basic & Monitor combined roms.
For II+ emulation you need the Applesoft & Autostart combined roms.
For IIe emulation you need an Apple IIe roms.

All of these can be found at the asimov archive, allong with all the disk images you probably want.
This archive has been around for almost as long as the internet itself, and if apple was unhappy about it they would have done something by now.

Settings changed in the menus are not perminent, this will probably be solved in the next release.

You do not need to use the Hard Reset manually on the first boot, just press O to return to the emulation.

Disk images do not need any specific name, feel free to use whatever name you want.

The slot7 rom is not needed, and is related to a now removed plugin to emulate the CFFA adapter, a simpler & more reliable solution is in the works for the future (smartport disks).

Slot5 disks are also not supported currently and those lines are ignored in the config file.

Please remember this is a work in progress.

i have finally got it to work

like the authors say, no need to rename the roms

just put it in the disks folder

that's all

More good news for Apple fans:

Long story short... you can run an early Macintosh OS on your PSP. Not too shabby!

If anyone's still looking into getting this to work, you need this file structure on your PSP:

PYAE\DISKS {put all your game DSK files here)
PYAE\ROMS {put your OS ROM files and DISK ROM file here}
PYAE\ROMS\APPLEIIp.ROM {if you want to run in Apple II+ mode}
PYAE\ROMS\APPLEIIE.ROM {for 2e mode}
PYAE\ROMS\DISK.ROM {if you want to RUN anything}

THAT's about it. "PYAE" (of course) is the folder name that's in the zip file. Too bad the programmer's site is long gone.

I got this to run but I don't know how to run disk images now. Anyone know? I remember good times using Apple II's back in school but I don't remember any commands to run the disks. I'm so used to DOS.

BTW, figuring out where to download and what to rename all the images took a while so if you want help, just pm me.
