Sharp Zaurus / Re: Sharp Zaurus zapple Apple II emulator

« Last post by Varti on June 07, 2026, 07:01:18 pm »

Hi and welcome!

I have checked the URL of the blog, mentioned on the forum thread, on archive.org:

http://led.e-fever.org/zaurus/modules/mydownloads/

The page has been stored, but the emulator's archive has not since it was probably downloadable only after logging in on the blog. I have also searched on the web and in my local Zaurus archives, to no avail. I have found two old email addresses of the author, I have sent him an email, I'll report if he'll answer back.

Our host has fixed the issue, I no longer see the certificate error here. Please let me know if it's fixed for you too, so that I can confirm them about the fix working.

Sharp Zaurus / Sharp Zaurus zapple Apple II emulator

« Last post by Retrofan on June 06, 2026, 11:22:41 pm »

Hi Guys,

    For many years I have wanted the Apple II emulator which is referenced  in the link below. If anyone has a copy they could share I would be very grateful. The files don't seem to be archived anywhere. Thank you.

There's already a ticket on Ibiblio, opened 9 days ago, about the certificate being expired, it seems they have not fixed it for our forum, I have notified them about the issue:

Hi koan, long time no see, glad to see you again.

Yes, unfortunately the registration emails are not being sent since a while. These days I'm doing a (long overdue) forum upgrade, I first want to check that this issue is not related to the forum software being too old for the PHP version used by our hosting service (ibiblio). In case this won't fix it I'll open a ticket to the host. In the meantime I usually manually accept all the registration requests, these days unfortunately I was quite busy, sorry for the inconvenience.

The certificate is currently invalid: according to Firefox it is not valid for www.oesf.org

Related: If you visit oesf.org and are not logged in or have not accepted the "risky" certificate, then none of the CSS or graphics show in the forum view. It makes it look like a dead site.

Hi

I understand that there are still issues with registering new accounts on this forum - verification emails are not being sent out. Is this a known issue?

Please DM me and I can put you in touch with a user who hasn't been able to register for this reason.

Thanks in advance

Zaurus - Other distros support / Re: it looks like a dead forum, is it just a bad moment or is it really dead?

Gentoo as of now still fully supports armv5, that being said, the 6.x kernel does not support zaurus hardware any more, so, while the OS itself ends up being quite up to date, the kernel doesn't.
