Bad Apple on the Apple II - debugger view
On the emulated Apple II side (middle): Wozamp, an Apple II multimedia player: https://www.colino.net/wordpress/wozamp-an-apple-ii-music-and-video-player/ , which relies on a serial proxy to access the internet, and works without spicy modern hardware in/on the Apple II.
On the proxy side (left): surl-server, a network-to-serial proxy for 8 bits computers, with a focus on Apple II: https://www.colino.net/wordpress/surl-server-a-serial-proxy-for-8bit-computers/
The proxy runs on a modern computer (laptop, Raspberry, etc) and handles network requests and real-time transcoding of arbitrary audio/video using FFMpeg. Audio is streamed at 11.5kHz, 5bit to the modem port of the Apple II, video is streamed at 11.5kB/s to the printer port of the Apple II - video playback requires two serial ports.
Video is delta-compressed on the fly, allowing for 460 bytes per frame at 30fps. Frame drop occurs on the proxy side if the time budget isn't met.
Framerate vary with the dynamicity of the video, Bad Apple plays at 23.5fps.
