I had an Apple IIgs computer many years ago. My family loved playing a game called "Plunder!" So now I'm trying to run it on my Windows 10 PC, using the GSport emulator.

I think I'm on the right track. The screen looks like a IIgs startup screen with a BASIC prompt. I've downloaded a file named Plunder.2mg but I just don't know what to do with it.

Can anyone please help me?
Thanks!

Hi,

I have ported the AppleWin code to Linux and I think it shares some of the network code with this project.

Everything works, except I get

ERROR opening adapter: 'eno1: You don't have permission to capture on that device (socket: Operation not permitted)'

and I need to run as root, or some annoying way to modify each executable as reported here

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/189750/how-can-i-run-script-without-root-to-sniff-network-libpcap

Do you know if there is a better way, maybe like wireshark with a user group?

Hey there,

Would it be possible to have a compiled version for modern MacOS machines, or are there major code changes required?

I see a lot of .woz disk images of //gs programs on various sites. However, there isn't a single //gs emulator supporting this format. Perhaps somebody here can implement the AppleWin support for the .woz format into GSPort?

Hi!

Could you help me please?

When I program in Prodos Basic, if I give the command HGR2 the screen goes all black and I don't see the command prompt anymore.
If I use the HGR command I see the prompt after I have pressed CTRL+ENTER for many times.

Thank you for an answer!

Hi,

I tried starting the program in GDB and get:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Continuing.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
The program no longer exists.

What can be done to fix this?

The frame buffer version works, but the X Windows version dies with a memory access error.

Memory access error (or whatever the English version reports, in German, it's "Speicherzugriffsfehler").

Before the error, a window shortly shows up, but goes away instantly.

If I open an application and exit that application, the Finder wants to scan both 5.25" drives and it's a bit of a hassle waiting.

Can anyone confirm if the windows CLI -config is still supported? I want to prebuild specific config files for GS Boot setups, but every attempt shows bad option: -config. This option is listed in the manual.

Hi David,

What would it take to support a rom card? (banks $f0-$f8)

Cheers,
Andy

Asking people what each file is for is something I've done for quite some time, and kegs is the first program I've met that actually describes it. Too bad it wasn't updated in the last 13 years.

Hi there! Can you explain the purpose of the DOS_TFE preprocessor symbol? It appears to guard the inclusion of pcap.h in tfe.c, but it also triggers the inclusion of the tfe_set_standard_interface( ) function and a call to tfe_set_standard_interface( ). The latter two things have a very nasty side effect in that they end up overriding the interface selection in the config and instead force whatever interface 0 would be. On some of my systems, that's docker0, which really doesn't help things.
