The '''[[wikipedia:Apple_Pippin|Apple Pippin]]''', marketed and stylized as '''PiPP!N''', is a fifth-generation home video game console initially released by Bandai on March 28, 1996 in Japan, and later the same year in the United States, with an initial MSRP of {{Inflation|USD|499.99|1996}} (2-box set) / {{Inflation|USD|599.99|1996}} (3-box set).
The hardware was based on the [[wikipedia:Power_Macintosh|Power Macintosh line]], featuring a PowerPC 603 CPU clocked @ 66 MHz, expandable RAM up to 22 MB (Bandai models have 6 MB onboard, while the KMP 2000 has 8 MB), and a largely underpowered Taos 8/16-bit VGA GPU.

:Apple Pippin isn't a hardware profile SheepShaver emulates: SheepShaver emulates a generalized PPC Mac based on a beige PPC604 hardware profile, IIRC. It doesn't know about Pippin hardware. You can, however, run many Pippin CD software titles on Mac OS 7.5 if you read Japanese, as Pippin was based on the PPC Mac and designed to run a modified Mac OS 7.5, so the applications use the standard Mac toolbox. But you won't get the Pippin interface, or be able to use Pippin controllers, or games that depend on them. See [https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7083 this thread] for more details.<ref name=adespoton>[https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=73090#p73090 adespoton's comment about Apple Pippin]</ref>
;MAME::To emulate the Pippin, you need to use MAME, which has the only Pippin emulator availablealthough [https://old.reddit.com/r/MAME/comments/13zw6x8/applebandai_pippin_questions/jmzki7w/ it's not supported yet]. Setting it up is rather complex, and you'll need the Pippin ROMs and CD images and the correct Pippin profile for the version of MAME you're using.<ref name=adespoton></ref> ==ModelsKatz Media Player 2000====Placeholder text==Pippin @WORLD & Atmark==Models=={{Infobox console|title =|developer =[[wikipedia:Bandai|Bandai]]|type =[[:Category:Home consoles|Home video game console]]|predecessor=Pippin @WORLD===[[Playdia]]|emulated ={{~}}}}====Katz Media Player 2000====Placeholder text
