Key features
Virtual ][ requires a Mac with macOS 10.13 ("High Sierra") or better. It runs natively on both the Apple silicon Mac and Intel Mac.
- The program emulates the Apple ][, ][+ and //e
- Supports USB or Bluetooth game pad / joystick, so you can play the old games. When you need a break, or are a critical junction, just save a snapshot of the virtual machine. You can continue from that point later on.
- Fully supports popular disk image formats, such as dsk, 2mg, and woz.
- Printer emulation of the Epson FX-80 and Imagewriter II; the printed output is saved as pdf
- Full-screen mode
- Nostalgic sound effects
- Automatically indexes your disk images, allowing you to search for Apple II files using Spotlight
- Run the emulation at different speeds
- You can onfigure your own virtual machine using emulated peripheral cards and devices, such as a mouse, hard disk, serial port, Mockingboard sound card, Z80 card for running CP/M, and even cassette tape
- Debug Apple II programs
- If you have original diskettes and a working Apple II, Virtual ][ can help you convert the diskettes to the Mac via a serial interface cable.
More information on the Virtual ][ help page.
You can download and try an evaluation version for free. If you like the program, you can buy a license and fully enjoy the nostalgic fun of the old Apple II computer.

What's new in version 10.6.5
- Twenty years ago I started the Virtual ][ project! Because of this anniversary, I include a free upgrade for all users with a limited license; from now on this license includes the full matrix printer emulation.
- If an error occurred when sending bytes on a serial connection, a generic error message was shown, with insufficient information. This has been solved.
- Corrected the timing of instructions that are unsupported by the 65C02 processor. This should (slightly) improve general compatibility.
The versions listed below are still available, but are no longer supported:
Version 9.3.1, a 64-bit version for macOS 10.11 and 10.12
Version 7.6, a 32-bit version for macOS 10.11 up to 10.14
Version 7.5.4 for Mac OS X 10.7 up to 10.10
