[Blindapple] attempting to get apple 2 ee imulator working on debian linux system

[Darcy Burnard]

Hi Mark.  I don't have a Linux system I can test this on, so can't say how well these instructions will work, but maybe it will be a point in the right direction.
First, use your package manager to install Mame. I have no experience with Debian, so don't know anything about it's package manager.
Next, get the Mac version of the emulator.  I'm sure this is still available on Jayson's site.  Since macOS is unix based, I would expect that the ini files will be closer to what you'd want in Linux then the Windows version.
When you have the emulator, unzip it and cd into the directory that's created.  Try typing the following.
mame apple2ee -flop1 disks/EGAMES.DSK
It may work, it may not.  If it doesn't, let us know what errors you get.
Also, before you try anything, you may want to research the keystroke to shut Mame down.  On the mac it's FN delete, and then escape. I think in Windows, I think it's insert scroll-lock, and then escape. Don't know what it is in Linux.
Anyway, hope this helps.  Let us know how it goes.
Darcy
