Sharp Zaurus zapple Apple II emulator

[Retrofan]

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.

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.

The author has answered me, unfortunately it seems we are out of luck:

"Thanks you for your email. I havn't archive my work regarding the emulator. Also, my zaurus has been out of order and won't work now. I am sorry about that."

I'll now try to get in touch with the users who have posted on the forum that they have tried the emulator, one of them has opened this thread:

Failing that, it could be worth to try to do again a port. Zapple is based on YAE 0.6, that version seems to have been the last one:
