Gerard Putter has updated his excellent 8-bit Apple II emulator, Virtual ][ to version 5.4.
What’s new in version 5.4
- Added emulation of the Thunderclock card, and made it the default clock card for all virtual machine types.
- The old “ProDos clock card” is now obsolete. It is still supported, but can no longer be selected in a new configuration.
- Added emulation of the the Saturn 128K memory card.
- Improved the support for international keyboards.
- Added additional Apple II character sets: British, French, German, Itialian and Swedish.
- Adjusted the Apple //e character set, to eliminate some minor differences with the characters in the original machine.
- Added an AppleScript property to get the path of the configured favorite disk folder.
- The RAMWorks card can now be configured in increments of 64KB (was 128KB).
- The 16K RAM card can now be inserted in all slots, not only slot 0.
- Fixed an issue that prevented 2img disk images from being recognized on an Intel Mac.
- The “generic printer card”, which has been obsolete since version 3.4, is no longer supported. It has been replaced
by the Grappler+ card and the serial printer card.
