Sweet16 2.1 released
July 23, 2009 at 09:24 PM
There was an unfortunate glitch in Sweet16 2.0, which I released earlier today. So I’ve posted Sweet16 2.1, which fixes a memory trashing bug in the “Get Clipboard from Mac” NDA, and also adds a new “View” menu, which offers “Half-size”, “Normal size”, and “Double size” options for quickly resizing the GS video window.
Sweet16 2.0 now available!

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.
