- description: UPDATE: Here's an edited 'highlight' reel with more clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hu47_GWbtU Showing off my nearly-completed project. This software makes short movie clips (GIFs) playable on 8-bit Apple II computers! The converter is written in Python, while the viewer is 6502 assembly. System requirements: I foresee some confusion about what you need to run this. So, for clarification, you're going to need 64kB in the main bank, in addition to at least a 64kB RAM disk, for a total of 128kB of memory. (An Apple IIc/IIgs has this standard, and it's a common upgrade for a IIe. For II+ models you're gonna need a 16kB 'language card' to fill out the main bank and another 'slinky' memory card for the RAM disk).

If you can find it, I'd love to see it!
