Despite the Apple II<span style="font=Emulator==The two recommended plugin emulators are [[PCSX-size:75%">GS</span> nameReloaded|PCSX-R]] and [[ePSXe]]. Since ePSXe added support for most PCSX-R exclusive plugins with 2.0, it is a completely different architecture. The system has a chip called the “Mega II” which main difference between them now is an that PCSX-R supports CPU overclocking ([[Apple II Line|Apple https://github.com/SonofUgly/ePCSX-Reloaded SonofUgly's fork]] on a chip, making only) though ePSXe introduced it fully backwards compatible with Apple ][ softwarein later versions.

Colours are selected from a 12-bit RGB 4,096 colour palette; the IIGS therefore has the same total colour range as its contemporaries the Commodore Amiga, the Atari STE and the Acorn Archimedes. However it is subject to a number of deficiencies: there is a single buffer for video only — double buffering is not supported — and it supports neither hardware scrolling nor hardware sprites; and as all writes into video memory clock the CPU down to 1Mhz these are expensive to perform in software. ==Audio Capabilities== The IIGS provides a 32-channel wavetable Ensoniq sound chip, which uses 64kb for samples. The OS by default configures this as 15 stereo channels and uses the remaining two channels as interrupt counters; the IIGS is therefore often described as a 15-channel machine. {{Apple}} [[Category:ComputersRecommendations]]

Uses dll injection due to Pete's OpenGL2 2.9 being closed source. While Pete's OpenGL2 2.9 is the most accurate GPU plugin, it is missing many features and those are what PeteOpenGL2Tweak adds; most notably the ability to render at resolutions higher than 1280x960, but it also adds GTE accuracy, proper aspect correction, true vsync, and xBRZ texture scaling.

It doesn't have any button binding options, but since it's meant for mapping an emulated DualShock controller to an actual DualShock controller, you don't really need to rebind anything.
