mac 7800/5200 emulators

[thursday83]

Stupid question, I've researched it before - but why can't I find a 7800 emulator for Macs that works? And that is easy to download/install, I know, it's probably me.

 

Any advice would be much appreciated. I have ProSystem on my PC, but I rarely use it and I'd like to check out more stuff. I'm a cartridge kind of guy, but there are so many protos and Groovy's Xmas thing, and what not, that I'd just like to check out quickly on breaks from work. And I work on a Mac.

 

Sorry for the stupid/ignorant post, I'm just fed up with trying - the last time I tried, I had to run through so much bullshit and it ended up not working.

 

Help me if you can, and thank you. 5200 and even 2600 would be nice too.

 

Thanks y'all, and happy holidays.

 

PS - best wishes to Curt, thanks for what you do brother - and kick that shit's ass, and all my best to PMP as always - he's the fucking man. Groovy - let's hear about these XM games for Christ Sakes.

BTW - I asked, months ago, as long as I'm at it - check an old post if you wish, for the 5200 ROMS again - I have about 13 on my multicart that don't work.....Allan said he would send me them, didn't hear back - but I'm sure he's got bigger fish to fry then to deal with my begging ass. The ones I have all came from AtariAge - they used to work but stopped......weird......

 

Alrighty! Thanks again and Happy NYE to all. Sorry for the random triple post in one. Whatever. I rarely say anything.

I used Jum52 for the 5200. Unfortunately, there is no native 7800 emulator for the Mac, as far as I know.. I used to use MacMess...

Thanks CPUWIZ. I did try that 5200 one before, to no avail..... But dammit, what's up with no 7800 Emulator for MAC? Horse Hockey.

No, there isn't. Although you can use WINE type program to make that work on a Mac.

 

I use WinonX run ProSystem on my Mac.

Funnily, there's some emus that ONLY exist on the Mac. Lucky you, you got Sara >_> lol

There's an issue with Mac SDLMESS, it's a command line app. So unless the user is used to command lines, those are pretty difficult to get running.
