There is an Apple //e emulator named Pocket //e, and an Apple II+ emulator named AppleCE. I use both of them all the time on my iPAQ and they work pretty well. I have had some problems with AppleCE running my favorite game - David's Midnight Magic. It seems to work fine except when it is adding bonus points to your score. The bonus doesn't decrement correctly and it seems to get caught in a loop. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the source for either, and neither seem to be worked on right now - so I don't know if they will ever be improved. Still, they both work pretty well. I have dozens of disk images on my SD card that I can access at any time now.

Unfortunately, until recently there were bugs in ADC/SBC in that code. (It affected old versions of Dapple) I'm familiar with that bug, and that was the problem. :\ Too bad he didn't release the source - hacking it to use the newer M6502 or Dapple M65C02 - both of which correct the bug - would be trivial. -uso.
