The fantastic 8-bit Apple II emulator for Mac OS X, Virtual ][ has been updated to version 5.1.
New in this release:
• The program now comes as a universal binary, fully compatible with both the Intel and the PowerPC Macintoshes.
• Added emulation of the ImageWriter II printer.
• Fixed an issue in the mouse card; as a result the emulation now supports the Apple II program "Blazing Paddles".
• Improved disk drive timing: as a result the Apple II program
• "Wasteland" now runs from copy-protected (.nib) disk images.
• Changed the Mockingboard card in such a way that the Apple II program "SkyFox" now detects and uses the card.
• Added a configurable option to skip the "save state" dialog when closing a virtual machine.
• Fixed an issue that resulted in wrong game paddle values when the machine ran at high speed.
• Fixed a potential crash in the Inspector when analyzing some types of copy protected disks.
• The "soft caps lock" feature doesn't affect pasted text anymore; it only affects typed characters, as it should.
• Solved an issue in sound handling that could lead to a deadlock when resetting the virtual machine.
• The "relative mouse mode" setting is now stored when saving a configuration file.
