[Blindapple] Running on Apple silicon?

[Byron Stephens]

I'd love to get that. I just don't know why but I've always tended to like the speaking style of the older textalker 1.3. I can tell the two apart because 1.3 says the letter n rather than in like 3 x does.

  Can't help with a mac, 
  I have mame on my windows seven with lots of disk images I'm 
  making from my 2 e as well as others I've gathered.  Sounds and 
  runs just like a 2 e.  Kind of fun.
  I can put my whole folder on drop box if you want.  Just unzip it 
  and open the folder and there is the program plus a couple 
  folders of disks and One I'm making called butch batch files so I 
  can just run the batch file instead of going to the command line 
  every time and typing all the stuff needed.

  Cool...so...if we get Mame, can we make the IIe emulator to run?

    Hi.  If you’re going to use Mame on the Mac, your best bet is to probably get it through Homebrew.  That it will automatically install all the various required libraries and what not.
    You can find home-brew at http://brew.sh <http://brew.sh/>.

      Hi,

      I have no idea if MESS will even run on Apple Silicon, since the MESS project hasn't been a going concern for years. 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.

        Hi all.

        So I grabbed the Mac version of the emulator, unzipped it, put the SDL library in /library/frameworks, allowed mess64, allowed the SDL framework, and allowed terminal to monitor keystrokes, it complained about something but I couldn’t catch the message because it just opened system settings. That was the only app in the table and I didn’t see mess64 in applications to add it.

        If I run it like so:


        ./mess64 apple2ee -flop1 ./ae/dos33/eamontlk.dsk

        It says it’s not responding a lot, says something about sdnsync window is sleeping, (again can’t quite tell what this is), and either ends on its own or interprets cmd-opt-esc to enter forced quit as a signal to kill it.

        Anybody know the right incantation to get this working? Alternatively, if it doesn’t work on M-seires processors, is there an emulator that does? With Echo naturally.

        TIA for any help. 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.
