I have a Uniden SDS100 scanner however the only software available for programming and firmware and database updates is Windows only. Sigh. I’m a Mac guy. Wineskin to the rescue. Download Wineskin and double click.
Here, you will find the “Wineskin” app right under Contents and a shortcut to DriveC. Open the wineskin app. It will take you to the launch utility. Now you have two choices, either you are copying an entire folder inside, or you are installing a fresh copy. Let’s go with the installation first. Click on “Install Software.”. Download Wineskin Winery for Mac to make Wineskin wrappers, manage/download WineskinEngines, wrapper updates, and build Engines.
Click on Create New Blank Wrapper and give it a name.

It takes a minute or so for the wrapper to make itself.
Now that makes the wrapper. Drag the wrapper to your desktop or wherever you want to store it.
Now right click on “Sentinel” and Open Package Contents.
Double click the Wineskin file
It opens a box and then click install software.
Then Copy a Folder Inside

Install Wineskin For Mac
Now Double Click Sentinel and install the program. Once it installs then you need to find the executable file and change it in the configuration screen.
Once you do all this and you launch the program it will forever try to install. Now that you’ve installed it you need to move the executable. To Program Files > Uniden > BCDx36HP Sentinel/BCDx36HP_Sentinel.exe
Close everything and you should be able to double click the Sentinel Wrapper and launch the program. Choose SDS100 and OK.
