Pom2 v1.2.0 is released. Pom2 is an Apple ][ , ][+ , //e , //c , //c+ emulator.

🌟 Why POM2?:
🎞️ Beam-raced to the scanline. Soft-switch flips mid-frame land on the exact scanline the CPU touched them — split-screen demos, hi-res/text mode swaps and AN3 DHGR toggles render correctly. The composite NTSC path beam-races too, so artifact colour follows the same event log the RGBA path does.
🧊 Tilt the screen into 3D. A MicroM8-style voxel view lifts the Apple II framebuffer off the glass into an orbiting 3D scene — pixels become extruded voxels you can fly around with a real camera.
⏪ Rewind time. A snapshot ring buffer records the machine as it runs; scrub backwards through your last seconds of execution and resume from any point. Same serializer feeds the AI-control HTTP /snapshot endpoints, so they can never drift.
πŸ“Ί CRT you can dial in. OpenEmulator-style composite NTSC shader and AppleWin's CPU IIR-LUT NTSC, plus mono phosphor with an adjustable phosphor curve (luminance Ξ³) and persistence (temporal glow), barrel distortion, hue/BCS — the full Display → CRT Settings panel.
πŸ’Ύ Disks that sound right. Cycle-stamped mechanical floppy samples: the Disk II head step and the Sony 3.5" drive whir, timed off the CPU clock — disk-turbo collapses wall-clock gaps but the nibble stream stays cycle-correct via an event-driven LSS.
🌐 Online, from 1984. The Uthernet II's W5100 is a hardware TCP/IP stack, so POM2 runs it straight on host sockets — point a period IRC, telnet or FTP client at the real internet with no extra dependency and no privileges, on Linux, macOS and Windows. The Uthernet I (CS8900A) is there too for IP65 / Contiki, bridged by optional libslirp (Linux/macOS).
🎡 A whole sound-card era. Speaker, cassette, Mockingboard A/C, Mockingboard C Sound II with SSI263 speech, the Applied Engineering Phasor (2×VIA / 4×AY), and the Cricket / Echo SSI263 line.
πŸ”¬ MAME is the source of truth. Every hardware port cites the MAME file + line range in a comment and is pinned with a smoke test under tests/. CPU → audio/UI events carry a CPU-cycle stamp, never wall-clock.
🌐 Runs in your browser. The full emulator builds to WebAssembly — play it now, no install.

Pom2 Changelog:
Porte Parole: speech synthesis now uses SΓ©bastien Pourcel's MEA8000 engine.
DIX calibration: improved PAL raster synchronization on //e and //c.
DIGIDREAM SID runs on //c; pausing preserves the picture. Thanks to
Grouik, fenarinarsa and French Touch for the sources and timing references.
Reliability: safer disk writes, correct MAX boot timing, safer browser
speech snapshots, insertion sounds tied to media changes, and quieter IWM diagnostics.
Browser: A2FileCmd downloads on demand; startup shrinks from 50.3 to
18.3 MiB. Choose File > Boot A2FileCmd.
Network: built-in NAT supports Uthernet on desktops without libslirp,
including Windows.
Input: keyboard joystick, second controller, improved paddles and Sirius Joyport.
Disk tools: create DOS 3.3/ProDOS disks, bootable binary disks and repaired WOZ copies.
