Pixel perfect graphics from your Apple II displaying on a HDMI monitor!
Now shipping with V1.7 Firmware
This card auto detects your machine so it will work on an Apple II, II+ or IIe without any modification. It directly produces a digital video stream from Apple II’s memory content. The signal is output via an HDMI connector, connecting the Apple II to modern displays with HDMI inputs. No more analog signal conversion required.
It uses the awesome open-source MIT licensed firmware by Thorsten Brehm. This card outputs 640×480 DVI and should work with any HDMI monitor.
An HDMI cable is required and the card comes with instructions for installing the card.
Thorsten also has a configuration file that you can download from GitHub at the website below that allows you to change settings on the card and save them to the card’s memory. There are several different fonts available for different languages.
In addition to color mode, there is a monochrome mode to simulate a white, green or amber monitor.
There’s also an analog mode that will improve graphics on some games and give a more retro experience.
The configuration can also be accessed via a short BASIC program (see images)
The card is designed by Ralle Palaveev.
The card should work fine with any HDMI monitor, but the current firmware may not display on more recent TV’s that require a minimum of 720×480 resolution.
There is firmware currently under development that will display the higher resolution. The board will be programmed and tested with the most recent firmware.
You can download the latest releases of the firmware and configuration files, instructions provided.
Images show HDMI output from Apple ][+ with interlace turned off. The card will fit into any free slot.
