About This File
My first attempt at posting a full setup. The result is not up to the usual high standard here but I don't think that this system has ever been proposed, so I post it anyway.
The Apple I was short lived, sold less than 200 units handmade by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs but it has a great historical significance.
The process is the same as for the Floatingyeti releases except that I have zipped the files in their own directories. The emulator is Retroarch/mame_libretro.
For the people allergic to Retroarch, you can use Mame and type the command lines for each game manually (or create a command file). The instructions to launch the games are on the hash file (good luck to you...).
So you must go through the following steps:
1. Extract the media.zip in Hyperspin/Media
2. Extract the Main Menu.zip in Hyperspin/Media/Main Menu
3. Extract the games where you want and point Rocketlauncher to this directory
4. Extract the Retroarch.zip to your Retroarch folder
5. Extract the Databases.zip to your......Databases folder !
6. Choose Retroarch as the emulator in Rocketlauncher and mame_libretro as the core in the module global settings.
7. you must add the following lines in the Retroarch module for Rocketlauncher where it's needed:
MSystem := "Apple I"
mTypeVar:= Apple I|mame_libretro|apple1
You should be ready to go. I have included the savestates in the retroarch folder so you don't have to go through the tedious process of typing all the command lines. If the save states doesn't start automatically in retroarch you have to put the corresponding option on in the core options, or hit F4 (or your hotkey+F4) each time you start a game.
It is my first release so please be tolerant. I will update the files if I have made any mistakes.
There was little to none artworks available for this system and the games have no graphics so it was tough to create the media. I know I have done a pretty subpar job and I hope someone will pick up the job and improve the media dramatically. I didn't made a Bezel as I am using a Megabezel in Retroarch. It's an old wooden TV that fits well with the homemade Apple I built by Steve Wozniak.
Credits goes to Floatinyeti for his help and inspiration, to Duimon who created the nice megabezel I am using for the videos and for whoever created the original database and main theme I have borrowed.
