Chris, excellent work on your Apple II emulator! The Apple II is still one of my favorite computers. I really appreciate your efforts in the Apple II community and I am so glad that there are others that love the Apple II like I do.
CT, much respect. But never understood why the Double Hires version of Injured Engine does not emulate well (notice when you start the engine). MAME is the only emulator that does it right. Why?
That is an excellent question. I started the game and pressed the spacebar on an engine part and the screen filled with vertical lines (is that what you see?). I just tried Virtual ][ and it shows the same behavior. Injured Engine must be doing something either "wrong" or very very subtle. I'm guessing it's doing something "wrong" that isn't supposed to work - like setting some soft switch without setting another one. Obviously it must work fine on real Apple II hardware (?). I'll try to dig into the behavior and see what I find.
@@SnapCraft316 I figured it out. Injured Engine requires an unenhanced Apple IIe - it fails on an enhanced IIe. I temporarily substituted the unenhanced ROMs into my emulator and it worked fine. I might add an option to select different ROMs... Thanks for pointing out the issue!

Thanks so much for the kind words!
Great work, Chris.
Thanks Bryon!
Really great overview. I love this emulator.
Thanks!
That is awesome.
Thanks! More work still to do...
I've played Aztec regularly ever since it came out. Seeing you change the screen like that was just amazing! 🤯
Cool! Aztec is still one of my favorite games (hence the t-shirt 🙂)
Very cool. Thanks for posting!
thanks for watching!

@@CT6502 Right on all questions. Lines in screen, works on original hardware, and MAME works. Thanks!
