MESS merged into the MAME project at www.mamedev.org where you can probably find an appropriate download. I've created a MameApple package a few years ago, but only have one for Windows. It does things a bit differently, in particular I think the ROM files are different.

That was the only app in the table and I didn’t see mess64 in applications to add it.

I hope it works, I was looking forward to playing some Eamon, and engaging in the Inception of nostalgia, emulating my first Apple computer, the first computer I ever used, on a modern Apple computer. “The circle is now complete”! Well, it will be if I can get it working anyway.
