[Blindapple] Running the Apple2EE emulator on a Mac

[James Dean]

Thanks for your help, everyone! Indeed, the "cd mess" is the piece I was missing. I don't seem to get the stuttering speech, either, which is great! Now, I have another question. In the read me file, it says, "• In the disks subfolder are several talking disk images supplied so you can have fun with your virtual Apple. I have quite a few more, but these are just
some to get you started."

Where can I obtain the rest of these talking disk images that he has?

Thanks,

James

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.
