This is a Wiki ReactiveMicro page to share the Raspbian Pom1, for all Raspberry pi Distribution. POM1 is an Apple 1 emulator and I have compiled it inside Linux to boot at startup in full HDMI screen. Some Raspberry pi can show a mouse pointer for less than a second on your screen before loading the POM1 emulator (on a Raspberry pi 4b the mouse remain visible, you can move it with your mouse device in a non visible screen area or dont connect any mouse in your usb port seeing Pom 1 Software dont need mouse.) I advise a 1 A+ Raspberry pi also Raspberry pi Zero works with it. Raspberry pi 4B has 2 HDMI ports one Full HDMI and one 4K, use the Full HDMI one to fill the full tv or monitor screen.

To install it, unrar it with winrar or similar program, then connect your preformatted SD card from 16gb or more and with win32DiskImager upload the image inside the SD. When ready connect it to Raspberry pi and after connecting to it Keyboard, HDMI cable and power supply give it current, wait some seconds a @ will appear.

INSTRUCTIONS

TO LOAD A MACHINE CODE PROGRAM (WOZ MONITOR) INSIDE POM 1 RASPBERRY PI: 1)Press CTRL - Q to exit from apple 1 to linux terminal 2)Write startx to enter Raspbian 3)Save from your usb pen to Desktop the .txt file with the apple 1 code you prefer (for example called NIM.txt) inside the / folder by writing in terminal before "cd Desktop" return then "sudo mv NIM.txt /" return. 4)Reboot the Computer and press CTRL - L to load the file and write his full name NIM.txt then select ASCII pressing 1 on your keyboard PRESS 1 for keyboard and return. 5)GO TO Apple 1 and write 4AFR retrun it will display the GAME.

TO LOAD A BASIC PROGRAM INSIDE POM 1 RASPBERRY PI: 1)Press CTRL - Q to exit from apple 1 to linux terminal 2)Write startx to enter Raspbian 3)Save from your usb pen to Desktop the .TXT file with the BASIC code you prefer inside the / folder by writing in terminal before "cd Desktop" return then "sudo mv AI.txt /". 4)Reboot the Computer 5)Write E000R in Apple 1 screen and press CTRL - L to load the file, write his full name AI.txt return, then select ASCII pressing 1 then 1 for keyboard and return. 6)Write RUN in Apple 1 screen, press return.

To shutdown the computer press CTRL-Q while in the apple 1 screen then write in the terminal command line sudo shutdown -h now and press return.



Pom1 is an Apple 1 emulator being ported to C from the original Java version. It uses the Simple DirectMedia Layer library and works on most platforms.

Options

Pom1 has many options to configure and utilize the emulator. They are accessed by Ctrl+<letter>. Some options also have corresponding command line parameters.

Option Letter Parameter Description


Load Memory L Load memory from a binary or ascii file. Save Memory S Save memory to a binary or ascii file. Quit Q Quit the emulator. Reset R Soft reset the emulator. Hard Reset H Hard reset the emulator. Pixel Size P -pixelsize <n> Set the pixel size (1 or 2). Scanlines N -scanlines Turn scanlines on or off (pixel size 2 only). Terminal Speed T -terminalspeed <n> Set the terminal speed (Range: 1 - 120). RAM 8K E -ram8k Use only 8KB of RAM or entire 64KB of RAM. Write In ROM W -writeinrom Allow writing data in ROM or not. IRQ/BRK Vector V Set address of interrupt vector. Fullscreen F -fullscreen Switch to fullscreen or window. Blink Cursor B -blinkcursor Set the cursor to blink or not. Cursor Block C -blockcursor Set the cursor to block or @. Show About A Show version and copyright information.

I and a friend have design and build a case similar to the one that fitted A**le Computer 1 in mid 70's, for Raspberry pi A+ to 4B. here is the link to the page where you can download the files to 3d Print it!

      Running the Monitor:

This is an example of how in 43 years the computers are miniaturized and also with the little effort i made is possible to have in a gum packet size computer an Apple 1 with my distro POM 1 in a Raspberry pi Zero for the price of 25$ complete with cables and SD you see on the top left of this picture, on the right an Apple 1 very similar Clone.


WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE MADE BY A WRONG INSTALLATION TO YOUR SD CARD AND TO ANY DAMAGE YOU MAKE TO YOUR RASPBERRY PI AND YOUR PERSON USING IT. THE OPERATIVE SYSTEM WAS TESTED ON MORE THAN ONE MODEL OF RASPBERRY PI AND WORKED FINE.

DIY POM 1 BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
 1. Here the script. Go to Terminal than write sudo nano /etc/rc.local and write before the line exit 0 this sudo pom1 home/pi/pom1-1.0.0/pom1
    press ctrl-X on the keyboard to close the windows.
    Then you must install pom1 emulator from the arch version found here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pom1/ under source 1 the tar.gz file
    with this commands from terminal: 
    The simplest way to compile this package is:
 2. install SDL2:sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev zlib1g-dev libzip-dev


 3. Uncompress the file writing tar xvzf /cd/Downloads/pom1-1.0.0.tar.gz or cd the folder it is inside.
    Open a Terminal and write: 
    cd Downloads or the directory and go in /pom1-1.0.0/src and type
    `./configure' to configure the package for your system.  If you're
    using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
    `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
    `configure' itself.
    Running `configure' takes awhile.  While running, it prints some
    messages telling which features it is checking for.
 4. Type sudo make or make in terminal to compile the package.
 5. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
    the package.
 6. Type then sudo make install or make install to install the programs and any data files and
    documentation.
 7. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
    source code directory by typing `make clean'.  To also remove the
    files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
    a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'.  There is
    also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
    for the package's developers.  If you use it, you may have to get
    all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
    with the distribution.
 8. Then  go to terminal and write sudo raspi-config and select the voice boot options then select Desktop/CLI
    and text autologin as pi.
 9. Then go back with esc to the voice Advanced Options than Resolution than 720x480 save with finish.
    Reboot
    Enjoy your new APPLE 1 emulator directly booting from startup as a real computer.
    You can find my Operative System ready to be installed in your Raspberry sd with Balena etcher and with instructions here:
