Where Does AppleWin Store Settings?
AppleWin Apple II settings in registry with optional INI mode.
Last updated
AppleWin keeps settings in the user registry hive under its version key. Disks and savestates save wherever chosen with no fixed folders. Last-used folders persist as registry values.
An INI mode exists through a launch flag. That file replaces the registry completely. The canonical app stays Windows-only; similarly named ports are separate projects.
Where AppleWin stores this, by platform
HKCU\Software\AppleWin\CurrentVersion
Per-user registry key with version section. Disks and savestates user chosen. Last folders as values. INI mode via conf flag replaces registry. Windows-only canonical app.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up AppleWin?
Export the AppleWin registry key with the emulator closed. Disk images and savestates live wherever saved. Restoring means importing the key before launch.
How do I run portable?
Launch with the conf flag pointing at a file. The app then ignores the registry entirely. That covers portable and multi-setup use.
