Doesn't appear to support the Macintosh (and forget about Internet Explorer on the Mac) though there's a small chance it may work under Firefox 3. Too bad, ActiveGS is incredible....nothing to install or set up really, it just instantly gives you an Apple IIGS from any computer any where in the world (I'll admit, I've sneaked in a few games of Zany Golf at work now and then). <img src='https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/sapphire/images/smilies/smile.gif'> <br><br>Posted to: Zany Golf, Sweet16, and mouse support <a href="https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188?start=0#post209">Show Thread</a> | <a href="https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/reply/188?start=0#post209">Post Reply</a> Sun, 01 Mar 2009 04:57:01 +0200 Mitchell Spector https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188?start=0#post209 Re: Zany Golf, Sweet16, and mouse support https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188?start=0#post194 Thanks to both of you!

I've only used "KEGS32" personally, which is a user-friendly front end for Windows, although worth mention since there's now the option of running Windows XP natively under Boot Camp these days. </p><p>KEGS has the 'F8' option which locks in the mouse cursor, so you can't accidentally move outside the window (perfect for something like Zany Golf!). There's even the 'F12' option in some versions to add simulated scanlines. I wish that was taken a step further and video interpolation was added. </p><p>Not sure if this will work on the Mac, but there's a web-based version of KEGS that runs under Firefox, and yes, Zany Golf is there so you can try the 'F8' option. <img src='https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/sapphire/images/smilies/smile.gif'> </p><p><a href="http://portune.net/gs/">http://portune.net/gs/</a> <br /><a href="http://www.virtualapple.org/">http://www.virtualapple.org</a><br><br>Posted to: Zany Golf, Sweet16, and mouse support <a href="https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188?start=0#post192">Show Thread</a> | <a href="https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/reply/188?start=0#post192">Post Reply</a> Sat, 28 Feb 2009 07:51:03 +0200 Mitchell Spector https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188?start=0#post192 Re: Zany Golf, Sweet16, and mouse support https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188?start=0#post190 I've just had a play with Sweet 16 v2.0Beta18 and yes, it's difficult to play because the mouse cursor doesn't behave as it should. This happened in both windowed and full screen mode. It might even be worth trying Sweet 16 v1.7.3, the previous version not in beta. </p><p>Otherwise, I can only suggest using an alternative emulator - I STILL use Bernie ][ the Rescue, running in Classic on my Dual 2.3Ghz G5 as my primary IIGS emulator. While it's not perfect, it's still very functional and I find most things still work better in Bernie than they do in Sweet 16. However music timing is a little off when run from Classic (after all, we are running 3 operating system simultaneously), which might not be ideal for gaming. </p><p>The other alternative is KEGS - definitely less user friendly, but once you get the hang of it (F4 key gets you into KEGS menu, where you can select disk images, speed, etc) you'll find it provides the most accurate emulation of any IIGS emulator. </p><p>All links to the different emulators can be found on this site's homepage. </p><p>- Alex<br><br>Posted to: Zany Golf, Sweet16, and mouse support <a href="https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188?start=0#post190">Show Thread</a> | <a href="https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/reply/188?start=0#post190">Post Reply</a> Sat, 28 Feb 2009 01:44:24 +0200 Alex Lee https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188?start=0#post190 Zany Golf, Sweet16, and mouse support https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188#post188 Hello all- </p><p>Zany Golf for my IIgs is an all-time favorite, and I still play regularly on the original hardware with my old floppy. I have issues with it in the Sweet16 emulator, however. My in-game mouse pointer responds to my real mouse, but when my actual mouse pointer drifts out of frame and can't get the two to line up, and clicking just switches me to whatever application is sitting in the background. Is there a setting for mouse capture somewhere that I'm missing? </p><p>Thanks in advance, <br />Bill<br><br>Posted to: Zany Golf, Sweet16, and mouse support <a href="https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188#post188">Show Thread</a> | <a href="https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188#post188">Post Reply</a> Fri, 27 Feb 2009 19:17:34 +0200 thefcpguy https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/games-forum/show/188#post188
