Apple II ?

I thought there was a version of Linapple that had been compiled with changes so you can select an image from the Emulation Station list (like how ROMs work in other emulators). I don't recall if that fork is the one we use here.

I assume it is. I'm able to run images directly from ES.

@mediamogul Cool. I should take another look. I am not sure about @ortsac 's intentions (mentioned wanting to build inside an Apple II case on another thread), but in an arcade cabinet build like mine, custom key mapping per disk image is crucial. This would involve scripting config swapping which is what I have going in my MESS setup. The difference is that with MESS, I can use the GUI menu to map keys which is very nice.

I am new Linux an GitHub. I am trying to install 'linapple', the Apple II emulator for this repository:
https://github.com/dabonetn/linapple-pie

What are the steps to do this? A script in the repository named "retro-install.sh" is suppose to install the 'binaries' once I get the contents of the repository into the Pi. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!!

@ortsac Did you try installing it through the RetroPie Setup Script?

ortsac

@AlexMurphy Which option from the RetroPie Setup Script menu would that be?

AlexMurphy

@ortsac manage packages > optional > linapple>install from Binary..

@AlexMurphy Great help, you are Master AlexMurphy. I just learned a good one today!! Thanks.

AlexMurphy

@ortsac I'm really not sure if that is sarcasm or sincerity. I hope I helped!

ortsac

@AlexMurphy You did help a great deal....and now I know how to install emulators through the Setup Script...Retropie sure have a lot of hidden jewels to uncover. Apple ][ is working...

@ortsac Cool. You will find a lot of people around here very helpful indeed. Stick around and pass on what you learn.
