Need a little help to get Apple II working

speeddemon

Hi, I need a little help getting apple ii working I have put the .dsk files in the apple2 folder and they do show up in the gui but when I try to run one of the games it just exits back to the gui.

I guess Batocera does not support Apple ii

jendrix

If is not in the comparability list on the main website, must likely it is not supported.

It is on the comparability list on the main website but I have had no luck getting it to work I have not had any problem getting any other system to work.

nadenislamarre

it is supported and it works.

speeddemon

I wish I could figure out why it's not working for me.

nadenislamarre

can you post the content of the files logs/es*, there is possiblythe error inside.

I have same issue (RPi3 with v5.11, roms launched from the USB stick - not sure if that is important). I've tried dozen different disk images always with the same result. After game is launched from ES, screen switches for few seconds showing garbage ASCII characters on the majority of the screen, then it returns to the ES.
I have deleted all log files and launched random game. Only two log files were created. First was es_launch_stdout.log (this one has 0 bytes length) and second was es_launch_stderr.log.
Heres "stderr" content:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/emulatorlauncher.py", line 221, in <module>
exitcode = main(args)

command = generators[system.config['emulator']].generate(system, args.rom, playersControllers)

nadenislamarre

oh, i guess you've an external usb key for data ?

symlink doesn't exist on fat32. it's why it would not work for you,
but i guess it's fixable.
i guess it may be done differently : https://github.com/nadenislamarre/recalbox-configgen/blob/master/configgen/generators/linapple/linappleGenerator.py#L60

i've to check on a running batocera because i don't find why it goes here just by reading the code.

adriansos666

nadenislamarre yes, I have bios and rom folders on the USB stick. Thanks for the reply.

nadenislamarre

try with the internal memory, you'll see, it will work.
i've added to fix it in my todo list.

adriansos666

nadenislamarre Thanks, I'll do so.

Good afternoon, I have the same problem with apple II, I would like and better understand your post on the https://github.com/nadenislamarre/recalbox-configgen/blob/master/configgen/generators/linapple/linappleGenerator.py link # L60, I create the file and put in that folder to work?

Hi ! I use batocera 5.27.2 in an External 1tb USB hard drive x64 pc. I cant run apple2 games. When i launch a game, back to gui. Only works in internal drives?
Thanks!

Using an external drive is not the problem as long as you use an appropiate file system on it.

What is the file system on your external harddrive?
