Quick Reference


This section covers all the menus in Sweet16.

File Menu


Open Disk Images Folder


Opens, in the Finder, the Disk Images folder, to make it easy to add images to be mounted automatically when you start up Sweet16. Just drop the images you want to mount into that folder and you're good to go. Keep in mind that your boot disk will be the image whose name is alphabetically first in the directory.

Create New Disk Image...


If you need to make a new disk image, choose this option. A save file panel will appear; enter the name of the new image file, and choose the image format and size from the popup menus, and Sweet16 will create the image file.

Mount Disk Image


Lets you select a disk image to mount, so that you can use it in the emulated Apple IIgs.

Mount CD-ROM


Attempts to mount the disc in your CD-ROM drive on the emulated Apple IIgs; up to nine partitions will be mounted. The disc will automatically be ejected from your Macintosh when you eject all of them from the emulated Apple IIgs.

Recent Disks


This submenu lists the most recently accessed disks, so you can quickly get at them again. Chose the "Clear Recent Disks" option to remove all disks from the list. At this time, disks are listed using URLs located on your computer; this will change to be less weird looking in a future version of Sweet16.

Eject


The Eject option pops up a submenu allowing you to select a drive to eject. Empty drives are greyed out and can't be selected.

Edit Menu


Capture Text Screen


Captures the entire contents of the Apple IIgs text screen into the clipboard, so you can paste it into other Mac OS X applications.

Capture Screen as Image


Captures a screenshot of the Apple IIgs screen into the clipboard as a graphic image that you can paste into other Mac OS X applications. You can capture pictures of both text and graphic screens.

Setup Menu


Joystick Support


Turns joystick support on and off. Sweet16 supports USB joysticks and gamepads; it will first look for a joystick. If one is not found, it will then look for a gamepad.

Sound Support


Toggles sound support on and off. Note that turning off sound support disables certain types of interrupts that can cause very odd problems with Apple IIgs software, even software that doesn't use sound. You usually shouldn't turn this off.

Pause


Pauses and unpauses the emulator.

Reset


Issues a Control-Reset to the Apple IIgs.

Restart


Issues a Control-Apple-Reset to the Apple IIgs.

Open CDA Menu


Issues a Control-Apple-Escape to the Apple IIgs, opening the Classic Desk Accessory menu. Among other things, this lets you get to the Control Panel to configure your Apple IIgs.

Mount Tools Disk


Mounts on the Apple IIgs the internal disk image that contains tools that you can use and install to enhance the Sweet16 user experience. This includes the patch and extension needed in order to print using Sweet16.

Save Emupack...


Saves an Emupack—a self-contained package of all your currently mounted disk images (as seen in the Disks window, not as reported by the Apple IIgs), preferences, and current ROM. You can later start up using that set by simply double-clicking the Emupack to start up Sweet16.

Debugger Menu


Note that the Sweet16 debugger is only enabled if you turn it on in the Other panel in the Preferences window.

Breakpoints Window


Toggles on and off the breakpoins window, which lets you create, edit, and delete breakpoints, as well as to enable and disable them. This is used for debugging Apple IIgs software.

Reload all Breakpoints


Reloads all breakpoints from disk. In general you shouldn’t need to do this.

Save all Breakpoints


Normally, breakpoints are only saved to disk when you quit Sweet16 or when you click the Save button in the breakpoints window. If you want to make sure your breakpoints are saved, choose this option.

Enable all Breakpoints


Enables all breakpoints.

Disable all Breakpoints


Disables all breakpoints.

View Menu


Full Screen


Toggles full screen mode on and off.

Half Size


Makes the Apple IIgs display half its default size (320x200 or 320x240).

Normal Size


Makes the Apple IIgs display its normal size (640x400 or 640x480).

Double Size


Makes the Apple IIgs display twice its normal size (1280x800 or 1280x960).

Show System Speed


Overlays the current emulated Apple IIgs speed over the top right corner of the GS video display.

Window Menu


Online Disks Window


Toggles on and off the disks window, which shows you what disks are mounted within the Apple IIgs.
