Apple II emulator

[estephan500]

Hello -- your last answer helped perfectly.

Now I have the Morpheus installed, I realize that my goal is really to emulate an apple II. I looked at your documentation but couldn't find answers to the below, huge thanks for any help you can give:

1-- is the best apple emulator the very same one that was installed when the neo6502 was out of the box? OR is there an apple II emulator for neo6502 that is more complete? (FOR EXAMPLE, I could not acccess the USB memory stick when it was out of the box, even though it was formatted FAT32. But I *can* see the memory stick now that I installed Morpheus.)

2-- How do I go back to installing the Apple II emulator now that I have installed Morpheus?

3-- If I was looking at emulation sites and I downloaded a .dsk image ... how can I get that .dsk to run on the neo6502?

These emulators are constant work-in-progress so the best version is the one at the GitHub of the emulator project.

Maybe try with this one:

https://ftp.olimex.com/Neo6502/apple2e-5.uf2

If it doesn't work well, try with the original one:

https://ftp.olimex.com/Neo6502/old-uf2/apple2_800x600_400MHz.uf2

Important! To use the apple emulator, you also need to format a USB flash drive with Total Replay. You can find it here:

https://ftp.olimex.com/Neo6502/Total%20Replay%20v5.1.hdv

Just place it in main folder of the USB flash drive and after that plug the USB flash drive in the Neo6502 that is prepared with apple2e-5.uf2. Finally power the Neo6502.

Hi,
sorry to revive an old thread. I'm suffering getting the Apple II emulator running at all...

I'm copying the uf2 file over to the Pico's flash by starting in bootloader mode. About 1 second after the copying has finished, the drive disappears, so my assumption is that the flash succeeded.

However, when plugging in the Neo6502 to a display, the screen stays black.

Tried the following files, both with the same result (no success):

https://ftp.olimex.com/Neo6502/apple2e-5.uf2

uf2 inside the following archive:
https://ftp.olimex.com/Neo6502/blank_disk_for_apple2e_code_development_apple2e_ProDOS_2_4_3.zip

I verified that my board is good by flashing the official Morpheus firmware (v1.0.0) which works flawless.

Any ideas? Do I need anything else to get started? I'm just interesting in running AppleSoft BASIC and ProDOS on the Neo6502.

With kind regards,
Egon

Did you read and follow my advice from the previous post (aka you also need to have USB flash drive with Total Replay):

1.  To use the apple emulator, you also need to format a USB flash drive with Total Replay. You can find it here:

https://ftp.olimex.com/Neo6502/Total%20Replay%20v5.1.hdv

Just place it in main folder of the USB flash drive and after that plug the USB flash drive in the Neo6502 that is prepared with apple2e-5.uf2. Finally power the Neo6502.

2. If it still doesn't work try preparing the board with the original apple2 binary:
