Post by magnusfalkirkPost by magnusfalkirkDoes anyone know if Sheppy has had the chance to do any work to update
Sweet 16 to work with the latest version of MACOS? I really enjoyed
using that emulator on my MacBook Pro up through MACOS 10.14. Thankfully
I've got a Mac Mini, one of the first ones from 2005, so I'm running an
older version of Sweet 16 on it.
To still be able to run IIGS software on my MacBook Pro I'm running
SheepShaver, running OS 9, and then running the last version of Bernie
to the Rescue in it. So I'm running an emulator in an emulator. What I
liked about Sweet 16 is the ability to change the screen size. You can't
do that with Bernie.
Thanks in advance.

You could try KEGS at http://kegs.sourceforge.net/. It runs fine on Mac OS
10.13 or later. It's got some UI annoyances.

I've used both KEGS and GS Plus, the biggest UI annoyance, with both of
them, is that you have to mess with the Config file to load dsk images
into them. With Sweet 16 you just double click on the image file and it
launches the program, or if it's already running it adds the disk to the
program. With Bernie, in SheepShaver, running OS 9, you click on Mount
in the Drive window, and select an image. It loads the image into
Bernie. So that's why I'd like to know if there is a new version of
Sweet 16 coming any time soon.

In KEGS, you never need to touch the config file manually. You can do
everything through the built-in menu system (it looks like ShrinkIt's menus)
you get when you press F4. Press F4, select Disk Configuration, then select
which drive (say, s6d2), and then an ShrinkIt-style file selection dialog
selects the image. Pressing a letter key jumps to that position in the list.
This is not as nice as double-clicking images, I'll admit.
As for making it so that double-clicking the image opens it: I don't know
how to implement this on current Mac OS X. If someone could
assist me with this, that would be helpful (even just pointing me to the
documentation would be great). I know how this used to work 15 years ago,
(special fields in Info.plist) but it's all different now.

In Kegs using the menu system is still more cumbersome than just being able to double click on the disk image, at least to me. Especially if you decide you want to open another disk image. You have to go back into the config.menu and go find your image and add it to the config. I don't know if you've ever looked at Sweet 16, http://www.sheppyware.net/software-mac/sweet16/ , but you might take a look and see if it can give you some help.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock Kegs, once you have the config.menu set the way you want it it works fine. I just find Sweet 16's way of mounting images easier.
