True full-screen display at native HD resolution providing crisp output. 40/80 column text, GR / DGR / HGR / DHGR etc.
OpenGL rendering allowing for traditional raster-style display, point and 3D voxel-based low-res and high-res modes with programmable camera movement;
Colour and monochrome (B&W, green and orange tinted) modes, scanline intensity and aspect ratio;
Apple II+, Unenhanced and enhanced 128K Apple //e (IIe) “Airheart-level” compatibility (almost everything runs), emulates both 6502 and 65C02;
Mouse and USB gamepad paddle/joystick support (including dual-thumbstick Robotron support), open-apple and closed-apple keys;
DSK, PO (800K), NIB, 2MG/HDV and Applesauce .WOZ copy-protected disk read/write support, along with the ability to arbitrarily load and execute binary, BASIC and LOGO programs;
Integrated file manager with cloud-based disk library containing thousands of disk images, browse inside DSK/NIB, drag-and-drop disk mounting;
Epson colour printer emulation (compatible with Print Shop, creates PDFs in microM8/MyPrints directory 15 seconds after printing stops!) and virtual telnet-based “modem” for calling BBSes using ProTerm etc.;
