Thanks, I will definitely give it a shot! I've never had issues finding BIOS files for systems like PS2 or Sega but seem to be coming up empty on Apple II. Guess I'll try Asimov or other locations to see what I can find. I was able to find IIe and IIGS ROM files, are these what are needed? Thanks again!

Is there a tutorial for setting up MAME? I went through sundogak's and realize I'm not even ready for that, I don't have the software folder, there's no mame.ini, it looks like I need some apple2 bios files? Sorry for all the questions, kinda lost on this one... Thanks.

Can I use MAME for plain old Apple II games as well? What would the command line be for those, most are multi-disk games. Does MAME work with .woz files?

Almost all the IIGS games I want to run have already been cracked and converted to a hard drive image, usually a .po. Do I have to convert those to .2mg or .hdv in Ciderpress first? And, do I just use the command line that you use, the apple2gs -sl7 scsi -noautosave -hard1 one? Thanks again for all the help!

Thanks for the help, that worked like a charm! What do you recommend for IIGS? I read (or tried to read) the thread on setting up MAME for the IIGS: and got quite lost. Is that the best method for running IIGS games or would something like ActiveGS or some other emulator be easier to setup?

Hi all, Trying to figure out how to use AppleWin; I'll eventually try to get around to using MAME when it comes time to try IIgs games, I just want to try //e for now as I find MAME to be quite confusing. My question is, is there a way to launch games that are in hard drive format? I can launch .dsk games using the -d1 parameter, but I have a bunch of games that are in hard drive format. I enabled the hard drive controller for slot 7 in Applewin, but when I try to launch a game, it just opens AppleWin, I have to manually then mount the image in AppleWin. Is there not a way to have LB do this step? I'd prefer to not have to use a parameter if possible since some of my games are still in .dsk format, some are in .po or .hdv hard drive format, I'd want LB to just open the game based on whatever I'm trying to run. Thanks for any help.

Hi all, Looking for some help in using an older, 2-button-style joystick with LB. I have an Apple II Kraft which fits the bill...but finding an adapter to connect to USB is currently a challenge. Would I have better luck using a PC joystick and an adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078W1VT1R?pf_rd_r=D3R0PKX3VNP463E6XYQ6&pf_rd_p=8fe9b1d0-f378-4356-8bb8-cada7525eadd&pd_rd_r=75f4fa49-4aca-40a4-869a-6d558a1b3868&pd_rd_w=uC1Qa&pd_rd_wg=PSL1b&ref_=pd_gw_unk? I've seen a few of the Gravis joysticks on eBay, I used to have one, but kinda prefer the smaller ones like Kraft and CH. Just not sure which will work on modern PCs. Any help appreciated re: models you suggest and adapters to get it to work with a Windows 10 PC.

Hi all, Is there a preferred emulator for the //e/IIGS and tutorial? The only tutorial I could find was from 5 years ago and they were using MESS, it seems like many folks now use AppleWin? Thanks for any help.
