KEGS is an Apple IIgs emulator originally developed for HP-UX by Kent Dickey (thus its name Kent's Emulated GS) and since then was made available to various UNIX-based platforms. The present version uses SDL, a cross-platform library designed to make it easy to write multi-media software, implemented in KEGS 0.61 by Fr�¯�¿�½d�¯�¿�½ric Devernay. This is a port to the Cocoa environment with a lot of optimization done for "l'Emulateur-ki-tue", both on the source code and in Cocoa integration.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Could use documentation but not that difficult to get set up and going, and once it is running... wow! Set to the unlimited speed, it appears to run at about 500 times a stock GS. Really complex things work right off the bat: Softswitch, The Manager, UtilityWorks, Prosel16 (of course), and AppleWorks (classic) with complex macros. The only problem I experienced was having to frequently swap mouse settings because the mouse would work for a while and then suddenly be limited to just a part of a screen.
