The latest version of the Virtual II Apple II emulator for Mac OS has been released. Virtual II version 13.0 includes a slew of changes and updates including the following items:
- The Super Serial Card can now send and receive data through a TCP connection.
- The serial TCP connection is fully compatible with the “tcpser” virtual modem.
- Added the option to save a detailed serial communication log for troubleshooting.
- The application settings have a new option to keep the toolbar visible while working full screen. The option is off by default.
- On an Apple ][ and Apple ][+ the Term80 card now automatically switches to 80-column display when activated.
- The emulated cassette interface can now read WAV files.
- The reliability of the cassette tape input has been improved. If you use the tape emulation in a saved configuration, it is recommended to update the configuration’s cassette default setting.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the VBL (vertical blanking) status to be reported incorrectly (Apple //e only).
- Substantially improved emulated interrupt handling, to accommodate the high-frequency interrupts needed for serial TCP input / output.
- Several other bug fixes and minor improvements.
Virtual II is a full featured mature Apple II emulator which includes emulation for the Apple II, II+, IIe and IIc machines. It also includes the capability of handling large capacity disk images.
