Fastest Apple IIgs Emulator |
Bernie's core module is a speedy 65816 emulator running at speeds far beyond that of a stock Apple IIgs - well beyond 60Mhz on high-end Macs. The emulation core - written in PowerPC assembly - has been tuned for top performance. No doubt, Bernie is the fastest Apple IIgs emulator.
