Hello guys,
i have ported KEGS, a fast Apple IIGS emulator.

It works pretty well, but obviously no virtual keyboard as i'm not a huge fan of that.
The key mapping (see below) should cover most of your gaming needs but
if you want any improvements, post a comment here.

Source code

For Apple IIGS emulation, you need :
- A ROM (the 128k version or the 256k version)
- Some games (or an already installed operating system)

Installation
To play Apple IIGS games, you need the Apple IIGS ROM.
(either the 128k version or the 256k one)

It can be found online on Apple's FTP.
As they don't allow redistribution of copyrighted roms,
i can't provide it with this emulator.

THIS IS IMPORTANT !
IF YOU USE A FTP CLIENT,
MAKE SURE YOU SET IT TO BINARY MODE OR ELSE
YOUR FILES WILL BE CORRUPTED AND YOU WONT BE ABLE TO USE KEGS !

Put the OPK file in /media/data/apps.

In /media/data/local/home, create a ".kegs" folder.
In /media/data/local/home/.kegs, put :
- All your games
- The Apple IIGS Rom renamed to ROM

The emulator "eats" text files.
These text files tells the emulator how to load the games.
This has the advantage of easily allowing multiple disk games like Rastan to be played.

Create a txt file and tell the emulator what
files it should load.
For example for Rastan, your text file should look like this:
s7d1 = rastan1.2mg
s7d2 = rastan2.2mg

You may need to swap the order of the disks, depending on the game.
If you have an operating system installed,
nothing prevents you to put several disks
in one configuration file.

Enjoy !

Conclusion

The Apple IIGS had amazing capabilites when it was released and it has some great ports as well.
(Ys, Airball, Rastan, Sylpheed, Thexder...)
So far, i'm enjoying playing Rastan on this thing.
Of course, it's far from perfect but it's already playable.

If you run into an issue, post a comment here as usual.

Thanks 

Hi, have downloaded the opk, found the bios file, followed all the instructions but all I get is a flashing cursor when selecting a game.
