Description
Remaining after #1394:
- Reset button not currently implemented
- Joysticks are not implemented
- Paddles are not implemented
- Controls are buggy generally (see prince of persia - character auto-walks left at the start until you press up-arrow and Donkey Kong)
- It looks like *.nib support is in the original Virtu source, but the core will not load these files correctly
- Currently, all client methods that read the system bus (RAMWatch, RAMSearch, HexEditor etc.) have the potential to trigger the peripheral card soft-switches in the core. Altering core state just by observing it is some next-level quantum terribleness... see also #1169

Research direction
The issue covers the Apple II Virtu core, including reset, joystick and paddle input, control behavior, *.nib loading, and system-bus observation; related issue #1169 is also mentioned. Start by investigating the Apple II core and the affected client methods. Done means each listed bug is resolved and the core no longer changes state when it is only being observed.
