AppleIIGS emulator. Get it HERE

 

Sweet16 2.0, the latest version of the Apple IIgs emulator for Mac OS X, is now available!

 

The major improvements in Sweet16 2.0 are:

 

- Networking support using the Marinetti TCP/IP stack.

- 16-bit color graphics, rendered using OpenGL.

- Added Emupack support; Emupacks are self-contained packages containing disk images, ROM, and preferences that you can double-click in the Mac OS X Finder to start up an Apple IIgs configured in a specific way.

- Resizable video window.

- A handy, scriptable Debugger to make developing Apple IIgs software easier than ever.

- Full-screen support.

- Joystick and gamepad support.

- You can now copy text between the Mac and Apple IIgs clipboards using NDAs provided with Sweet16.

- CD-ROM media can now be mounted in the emulated Apple IIgs.

- An Apple IIgs desk accessory for switching between full-screen and windowed mode.

- The video window’s title changes to show you the name of the Apple IIgs application you’re currently using.

- A new preference lets you mount 800K disk images on the SmartPort instead of as IWM devices.

- Added a preference to automatically slow to 1 MHz when booting from 5.25” disk images.

- Improved showing and hiding of the Mac mouse cursor.

- Unpartitioned ISO images can now be mounted in the emulated IIgs.

- Disk image format detection is much better.

- The EMUBYTE I/O location now correctly identifies Sweet16 and version 2.0 again.

- The mouse scroll wheel now sends up and down arrow keys to the emulated Apple IIgs.

- If you’re currently at the “It is now safe to shut off your Apple IIgs” screen, quitting Sweet16 no longer asks for permission; it just quits.

- Apple IIgs code can read and write the 640x400 pixel, 16-bit graphics buffer in banks $E2 through $E9.

- Fixed a number of bugs.
