Software for iigs
Posted by: mloret on 2022-08-25 16:45:07 Hey guys, i decided to move away from vintage Macs for a bit and try my hand at an Apple iigs. I saw that there are quite a few places online that advertise software downloads for iigs. I am wondering which of these sites the experts would recommend? Again, I am a neophyte here. Thank you for any recommendations!

Posted by: Skate323k137 on 2022-08-25 17:21:52 If you use a FloppyEMU, which can be a great experience with the IIgs or any Apple II, you need the Apple II firmware flashed. If you did not know there are both a Macintosh and Apple II firmware. You can switch but it is a couple step process on the floppyemu. I eventually bought a 2nd unit since I use them enough on both types of computers. This site is a good spot to start exploring apps and games: What is the Apple IIGS? > Action Games www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za For permanent internal storage IMHO the microdrive Turbo is best bang for your buck, if you start sinking money into this guy 😛
Posted by: magnusfalkirk on 2022-08-26 12:46:16 One of the best places to get software for the Apple IIGS is: What is the Apple IIGS? > Home This site is dedicated to the preservation of the Apple IIGS computing platform. It is hoped that one day this archive will feature a complete library of Apple IIGS applications, games, educational software, hardware references, drivers and publications. www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za This site is strictly dedicated to the Apple IIGS Another is: Index of / With this site you can download GS software aas well as regular Apple II software, which the GS can run.
