FujiNet Apps¶
FujiNet unlocks a new category of software for vintage computers: network-aware applications that use the N: device to pull live data from the internet or communicate with other users.
What makes an app "FujiNet-enabled"?¶
A FujiNet-enabled app uses one or more of:
- N: device — to fetch live data (weather, news, Wikipedia) or communicate in real time
- High score server — to submit and retrieve scores over the network
- TNFS — to stream disk images or data files from community servers
- Printer/clock emulation — for productivity software that needs real hardware

Writing your own FujiNet app¶
Interested in creating a FujiNet-enabled program? The N: device works like a standard file/serial interface in each platform's native language:
- Atari — CIO calls with
N:device, or useOPEN #n,mode,0,"N:..."in BASIC - Apple II — ProDOS file calls against the FujiNet volume
- C64 — Standard IEC device reads
See the FujiNet firmware wiki for protocol documentation, and ask on Discord for help getting started.
