notes: |
  SDL 1.2 port of LinApple 2b, itself an SDL port of AppleWin, reworked for
  frontends by Mark Ormond (README.md:1-6, CHANGELOG:11-14). Disks are
  mounted from the command line with -1 and -2, -r boots at once and -f
  starts full screen (src/Applewin.cpp:841-869).

  The four system ROMs are byte arrays in src/resource.h (Apple2_rom,
  Apple2plus_rom, Apple2e_rom, Apple2eEnhanced_rom at lines 5, 778, 1551,
  2581), picked from the machine type (src/Memory.cpp:963-970). The file
  loaders that AppleWin used are commented out (src/Memory.cpp:974-1023).
  The Disk II, Super Serial Card, mouse card, parallel printer and hard disk
  firmware are arrays in their own sources (src/Disk.cpp:50,
  src/SerialComms.cpp:57, src/MouseInterface.cpp:41,
  src/ParallelPrinter.cpp:35, src/Harddisk.cpp:113). Splash screen, font
  and 40 column character set are XPM compiled in (src/Video.cpp:34-35,
  src/stretch.cpp:39). No ROM is read from disk.

  RetroPie installs the binary with linapple.conf and Master.dsk, copies
  both to configs/apple2 when the user has none, links ~/.linapple there
  and starts the emulator from $romdir/apple2 with -1 and the game
  (RetroPie scriptmodules/emulators/linapple.sh:35-45, 51, 56-59, 66-73).

  Save states, the printer output file, FTP downloads and the FTP directory
  cache are written by the emulator. Disk and hard disk images are user
  content.

      Opened in append mode from ~/.linapple when that file exists, otherwise
      from the working directory, so a missing file is created empty. Each
      key that is absent keeps its compiled-in default. Shift+F8 rewrites
      the file. No size or hash check.

      checked. The hashes are those of the copy in the repository, which
      make install copies beside the binary (src/Makefile:24, 54).

      Loaded with SDL_LoadBMP from the working directory. A missing file
      costs the window its icon and nothing else. The hashes are those of
      the copy at the root of the repository, where the build copies the
      binary (src/Makefile:37). make install leaves it out
      (src/Makefile:24, 54), and so does the RetroPie scriptmodule.
