Version 12.0 of the Virtual II Apple II Emulator for Mac OS has been released. Included in the release are the following updates:
- Virtual ][ now requires macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or better. Virtual ][ 11.4 remains available for download to run on macOS 10.13 up to 11.0, but is no longer actively supported.
- Generating a movie of the Apple II screen did not work correctly in macOS 15 (Sequoia). This has been fixed.
- The built-in Quick Look viewers for disk images and saved machine state failed in macOS 15 (Sequoia). These modules have been rewritten to fully comply with the latest macOS versions.
- Screen shots of the virtual machine can now be made using a keyboard shortcut. If you create a series of snapshots, the application suggests a file name based on the previous snapshot plus a sequence number.
- The cassette tape emulation now accepts input files with file extension .aiff or .aif (was .cass only).
- The print preview can now be closed with the esc key.
- Resetting the virtual machine while the Z80 processor is active could hang Virtual ][; this did for example happen in CP/M 3.0. This issue has been solved.
- A crash occurred when a cassette tape was ejected while being recorded. This has been fixed.
- Solved an issue where the performance monitor graph could appear outside its bounds.
- Corrected zero page behavior when the Apple //e is reset. This improves general compatibility.
