Command Line Options

When you start Apple2TS, you can specify various command-line parameters, including a disk image. These command-line parameters are the same as the URL parameters – you can find a complete list in the apple2ts.com browser emulator. Here are some examples:

For macOS, boot a blank ProDOS disk, change the color to green, and run a BASIC program:

open /Applications/apple2ts.app --args color=green text='10?"Welcome to Apple2TS":GOTO10'

For macOS, change the speed to fast and boot the Total Replay disk:

open /Applications/apple2ts.app --args speed=fast replay

For Windows, fast speed, no-fringe color, dark mode, and run the Nox Archaist Demo:

cd c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple2TS
Apple2TS.exe speed=fast color=nofringe theme=dark Nox

For Linux, amber color, boot the ProDOS disk:

apple2ts color=amber prodos
