Brian Jepson, writing on raspberrypi.com, walks through running an Apple II emulator on a Raspberry Pi. The tutorial comes from The Raspberry Pi Guide to Retro Gaming book and uses LinApple, a fork of the AppleWin emulator originally created by Mike O’Brien and ported to Linux by David Baucum and other contributors. The post also points to audetto’s fork, which syncs regularly with upstream AppleWin and tracks its features more closely.

LinApple is not in the Raspberry Pi OS apt repository, so the guide covers installing the dependencies, cloning the source, building it with cmake, and installing under /usr/local. It then copies the default configuration file and a sample disk image into place for editing. LinApple can emulate Apple II sound cards including the Mockingboard, which is enabled by default in the config file.

There is a short BASIC program to type in or load from the disk image in the repository.…
