First, choose your Apple and load its ROMs

The Apple can't switch on without the ROM chips Apple built into it. They are still under copyright, so they aren't included here: choose or drop your own ROM image files. They stay in this browser and are never sent anywhere. The browser remembers them, so you only need to do this once for each model.

Machine Apple IIe (1983): 128K, 80 columns, double graphics Apple IIc (1984): the IIe as a portable, no slots Apple II Plus (1979): Applesoft BASIC, 64K Apple II (1977): Integer BASIC, 64K

• Apple IIe ROM Required

  Applesoft BASIC, the Monitor and the built-in firmware: 16 KB (16,384 bytes), or the two 8 KB chips it comes as. The enhanced IIe's (342-0304 and 342-0303) runs the most software; the original IIe's (342-0135 and 342-0134) works too.

  Often named Apple2e_Enhanced.rom, Apple2e.rom, or 342-0304-a.e10 and 342-0303-a.e8

• Apple IIc ROM Required

  The IIc's firmware: 16 KB (16,384 bytes) for the first IIc, or 32 KB (32,768 bytes) for ROM 0, 3 or 4 (342-0033, 342-0445). The IIc boots its drive from this ROM, so it needs no Disk II ROM.

  Often named apple2c.rom or 342-0445-b.bin

• Video ROM Required

  The characters on the screen, chip 342-0265 (the IIc's 341-0265 is the same; the original IIe's is 342-0133). 4 KB (4,096 bytes).

  Often named Apple2e_Enhanced_Video.rom or 342-0265-a.chr

• Apple II Plus ROM Required

  Applesoft BASIC and the Autostart Monitor. 12 KB (12,288 bytes).

  Often named Apple2_Plus.rom or apple2p.rom

• Apple II ROM Required

  Integer BASIC and the original Monitor. 12 KB (12,288 bytes). The Apple II starts in the Monitor: type C600G and Return to boot a disk.

  Often named Apple2.rom

• Character ROM Required

  The Apple II's and II Plus's 64 characters, chip 341-0036. 2 KB (2,048 bytes).

  Often named Apple2_Video.rom

• Disk II ROM Required

  The disk controller's boot ROM, chip 341-0027 (16 sectors). 256 bytes.

  Often named DISK2.rom or 341-0027-a.p5

Pick several files at once, or a .zip containing them (a whole ROM collection works too). The AppleWin emulator keeps them in its resource folder.
