[Blindapple] Running on Apple silicon?

Fri Nov 15 16:10:40 EST 2024

OK, I’m on the Mac
. But I thought I could use the ROMs at least. I put the ROMs in the roms directory, and copied all of the ini files and folders over to the Mac version of Mame I unzipped. If I type:

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

I get:

_Modern
2024-11-15 15:06:33.205 mame[2177:156959] +[IMKInputSession subclass]: chose IMKInputSession_Modern
sc01a.bin NOT FOUND (tried in votrsc01a apple2ee apple2e)
Fatal error: Required files are missing, the machine cannot be run.

If anybody has any ideas, I’ll happily try them.

Thanks for the help so far.

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.
