Sweet16 is an evolution of the clasic Bernie ][ The Rescue, generally regarded as one of the best -- if not the best -- Apple IIgs emulator ever created. While not yet as fully-featured as Bernie ][ The Rescue, Sweet16 is a Universal Binary running natively on both PowerPC and Intel processors, support for printing from Apple IIgs desktop applications, and broad disk image format support.
More features and improvements are planned, so stay tuned!
Here are some key features of "Sweet16":
Universal Binary
Sweet16 for Mac OS X is a Universal Binary, running natively on both PowerPC and Intel processors.
Sound and Music
Sweet16 fully emulates the Ensoniq 5503 Digital Oscillator Chip that powers the Apple IIgs sound system. Play games and music with full-quality sound, including full stereo support.
Print from Desktop Applications
Desktop applications that use the Apple IIgs Print Manager can print using a custom LaserWriter driver (included). Printed output appears in the Mac OS X Preview application, from which you can save the output in PDF format or print it to any Mac-compatible printer.
Disk Image Management
Create disk images right from within Sweet16. You can also eject, mount, lock, and unlock disk images using a simple user interface. Easily access recently-used disk images.
Use Your Favorite Software
Sweet16 should run almost anything you throw at it. Certain copy-protected games won't work correctly, but there are very, very few that won't.
Total Control
Pause and resume the emulator. Keep an eye on your Apple IIgs's progress even while the emulator window is minimized into the Dock. Control the Apple IIgs's system speed, with ZipGS™ accelerator emulation included. Or just let the emulated IIgs run at full speed. Your choice!
Screen Capture
Copy the contents of the text screen to the Mac OS X pasteboard, or grab the screen as a graphic screenshot to paste into your favorite graphics program.
Be Big Brother
Want to know what's going on? Toggle on the toolbar using the button in the title bar of the video window and you can watch how fast your emulated Apple IIgs is running.
What's New:
Speed control now works on PowerPC systems.
Fixed the timing of the 1/4 and 1-second interrupts, which improves playability of games such as GShisen.
Implemented support for the Dvorak and French Canadian keyboard layouts; choosing them in previous versions crashed Sweet16.
