If you have a physical Apple ][, there is an SD-card drive emulator available ( here) that should let you just copy the DH binary to SD, and load it.“dhuntera2” is my chosen standard filename for the Apple ][ hardware),.Frankly, what I ended up doing was just having AppleWin, AppleCommander, and my Apple ][ files just all in the same exact folder.Installing JAVA and making sure the “ac.jar” is available in your path and such can be a bit of a hassle, then also using the command line to navigate to the folders that contain your binary files.The JAVA command runs ac.jar (AppleCommander) with command line options to “import” (stream) the local dhuntera2 (file in the same folder) into that DSK file (like copying that file onto the disk, keeping the name identical between the copies- although you can alter the local or target name to your preference).The COPY command copies the initial/default master.dsk that is included with AppleCommander, and re-copying just ensures starting with a “fresh media” each time.Java -jar ac.jar -as dhunter.dsk dhuntera2 < dhuntera2 ![]() But if you need to prepare your own DSK, or want to create a DSK file that contains maybe a newer update to DHUNTER: The way I did this was I had to obtain AppleCommander (Java) and run it from the command-line like this: I’ve already prepared a DSK file that contains the DHUNTERA2 (A2 for Apple ][) executable.AppleWin isn’t installed, but just “uncompress to a folder” and run it.So these are just some general guidelines as of May 2021: Here is a summary of things that mat help you get AppleWin get setup, keeping in mind it may evolve in time with updates. But my experience was, AppleWin needed a little more effort to get it up and running. Perhaps AppleWin can also do these things as well (maybe command line options), and there are various other Apple ][ emulators also to try. From that, they queue in the work of attaching tape or disk drives and all the little steps to making the load happen and starting the program. The sequence should look similar to the following:įor the Commodore VICE program, they made running PRG files very easy: drag and drop. Please wait a little bit for the program to start, the emulator does emulate the red disk drive light and taking a little bit of time to actually load the program (about 5-10 seconds if taking much longer then that, there may be an issue with your web browser).The second command, BRUN, invokes the DHUNTERA2 program.The first command, CATALOG, just shows a list of the files on the disks and verifies that appears looks correct.After powering the system on, you still must type a few commands to actually run the program: This LOAD above is sort of like “inserting the disk” into the system. 2) Click the POWER button at the bottom left to actually “power on” the emulator.1) In the emulator, click Load (above on left side of keyboard), in the dialog box that opens pick Choose File, select your local copy of the DHUNTERA2.DSK file, then click the Load button that is on the file selection dialog.There are two main steps to getting this running: I am not affiliated with VirtualConsoles, and there are various emulator options available, but I can say I verified VirtualConsoles worked for me and everything in the DH program functioned as expected. The online Apple ][ emulator I used to run DH is hosted at : If you have a physical Apple ][ Enhanced), please let me know in the Comments! Here is an outline of instructions for using both of those methods. It was a dark and stormy day, thunder roared upon the Earth! And so, with nothing else to do that day, I decided to port the DH game over to the Apple ][ emulator. UPDATE: Major updates June 1st, 2021 on the DH Apple ][ joystick with DH, see the CONTROLS document. ![]()
