[crookedmouth]

Well the Geos for apple2 booted up but needed an input device so right now Geos doesn't work.

I can't seem to find a converter for .bin to .dsk. Been trying CiderPress and it only seems to do vise versa.
No this doesn't emulate GS.

After a lot of searching I found this...

you can create a dsk from 1 or multiple bin files.

I still cant get games working on this thing, I put on the apple2e rom and all the other ones it wanted, it loads and shows them all in the ok status, yet every game I download, even ones already in .dsk format wont run! Am I doing something wrong? I shouldn't need to dldi this thing right? cuz I heard w/system firmware 1.11 you don't need to......

All I did was change the .bin to .dsk using the command prompt and it worked.

Maybe try dldi patching because most everything boots up on it I've tried. Some games won't work because of no joystick or strange repeating "key presses" , but most everything at least boots.

Keep seeing the same things over and over again, so here goes:

#1: Read the comp.sys.apple2 faq available here:
http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/A2FAQs7GAMESITES.html
If you can't find the support files you're looking for from here, then you're not looking. Or you should get a 508-compliant web browser because you lost your vision and can't see anything.

#2: CiderPress can do most of the conversions you need, in particular you want everything to be in the "Dos-ordered" format. If you get a disk that doesn't boot, you might first try converting to this format (Tools -> Disk Image Converter in CiderPress). You can also create a blank disk image, boot up a utility like "Copy ][+" and copy the .bin or other image to the newly created .dsk image by copying one "disk" to the other "disk".
More info: http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2FLUTILS.html#014

#3: Apple 2 != Mac. Jesus H. Christ people, early Apples were a completely different machine. The first Apple in "mac" form was the ill-fated Lisa. The ][, ][+, //e, //c, //c+, //gs and Apple 3 were NOT macintosh computers. They do not run macintosh software, and most of the people that used these computers (with the exception of the //gs) did not even have mice.

Please don't give up on this very important emulator alekmaul.

I somehow skipped this one. I owned a few Apples but never really enjoyed it as much as my Atari or C64. There are a few lesser versions of games on this system, but now that the Atari emu is out (and hopefully getting updated) I don't see myself bothering with this emu.

Will check it out none the less, I'm sure there were a few system specific apps or games out there somewhere that I just have to play or use.
