> you need to go into your downloads folder and copy the messapple mac folder and then go into terminal and type cd then command v to paste and then hit enter you should here something like in my case aaron’s mac book pro and then you type for example ./mess64 apple2ee -flop1 disks/EGAMES.dsk then it should work

I figured this would make it easier to access via the terminal. I also copied the SDL.frameworks folder found in the archive to /library/frameworks, this of course being the library folder found in the root of the drive, not the one in my home folder, as the instructions dictate.

I assume this is because the emulator is recording to the "session.wav" file, but I'm not sure. I thought that running it on the mac would solve this problem. I know that at least one other person got it to work on his Mac, so I just want this to work.
