Apple II Emulation Evaluation (2022)
Check out Mariani, a port of AppleWin (Windows) for macOS and Linux. It's open-source, cycle accurate and emulates a fairly good number of devices: https://github.com/sh95014/AppleWin
The last version finally has a debugger. It lacks the killer feature of Virtual II though: the ability to mount a folder. This is gold for cross development.

AppleWin Controls Don't Have Buttons
FYI, I built a native macOS UI for AppleWin around the Linux port, which should be more convenient to use than Crossover if you’d like to give it a try. Let me know if any of the features I haven’t implemented yet are important to you.

Question About PDF Images
My example is for macOS/AppKit in Objective-C, so your mileage may vary for iOS, but basically you override drawRect:. The same calls that would have drawn into a view on the screen would render PDF for the printer.

Many Lessons Learned Building a Cocoa App
Hi! I've been away from AppKit (working almost entirely in iOS) for over a decade now, but recently decided to port an Apple //e emulator to macOS, and took the chance to try to build as "complete" an app as I could. I also decided to write down the lessons I learned along the way:

New Native macOS Port of AppleWin
The code is available at https://github.com/sh95014/AppleWin but it would take a little bit of work to build yourself. Unfortunately Apple's security features in recent versions of macOS that make it a bit complicated to distribute binaries, so I'm posting first in case some of you want to try it out before I figure out how to do it properly.

Apple ][ games for MacBook Pro?
GSplus (https://apple2.gs/plus/) is an alternate version of KEGS, developed after the original release but before Kent started working on it again. I'm not sure what the current state of everything is, but IIRC GSplus addressed some of the usability issues of the original.

Is there a Windows Apple ][ emulator that doesn't suck?
I'm not huge into the Apple II scene but isn't gsplus pretty much the definitive emulator at this point, given its KEGS heritage?

My dad hasn’t had an Apple computer since the Apple II GS. Somehow I finally convinced him to get an M1 Mac Mini and he loves it :)
Go full circle. Here's a link to an apple IIGS emulator for OSX. https://apple2.gs/plus/

Since M1 Mac can run iPad software... this is iPad's Apple IIGS emulator running on my Mac!
This is cool and all, but there already is an Apple ][GS emulator for Mac, no iPad version required: http://apple2.gs/plus/
