And, while I appreciate that he gets the authors permission, I just don't think it's right.Surely this violates the GPL? I'm not making accusations, I'm genuinely just wondering. You have no chance of building a Mac version without doing tons of work. When you download the source to Nestopia, there are no Mac specific build files. He only charges for the stuff he wrote himself.Yes, but an 'Emulator Enhancer' is useless without an emulator to start with.The other thing that annoys me about this whole situation is that he isn't even contributing back to the projects he is making money from. Richard doesn't charge for the parts of his projects that were written by others. Let me rephrase.Most of my emulation fun on a Mac was procured using:1) One of the numerous programs Richard has ported Added for emphasis: (Genesis Plus, Nestopia, KiGB, TGEmu)2) Snes9x3) Mame4) DOSBoxThat was a list of four items, none of which have anything to do with each other beyond:1) The fact that they are all emulators (or groups thereof as is the case with Item #1)2) They are compatible with Mac OS X.I hope this clears it up - View image here: - Now if I had originally used a semi-colon after 'one of the numerous programs Richard has ported' then you would have a point. Green Hat:Most of my emulation fun on a Mac was procured using one of the numerous programs Richard has ported, Snes9x, Mame or DOSBox.None of those were ported by Richard Bannister.I'm well aware of that. Many of the emulators are cycle-accurate emulators (Nestopia and BSNES) as opposed to many emulators which are not cycle-accurate and contain hard-coded hacks and workarounds to get some games to play correctly. Green Hat:Most of my emulation fun on a Mac was procured using one of the numerous programs Richard has ported, Snes9x, Mame or DOSBox.None of those were ported by Richard Bannister.However, Richard has ported most of the best 8-bit and 16-bit emulators out there. Most of my emulation fun on a Mac was procured using one of the numerous programs Richard has ported, Snes9x, Mame or DOSBox.So thanks for all the hard work buddy.Īs a professional developer that does work on the side as well, I fully understand the modest charge for EE. So I would like to take this moment to thank Richard for all of the wonderful Emulator ports he made available to us. (though not in a while, time's been unpermitting)Oh, and I am a registered EE user.When I was a regular Mac user, I was a registered EE user as well. View image here: - I've enjoyed many of your emulators over the years. Originally posted by Mux:Richard- just a note of appreciation to balance things out. It's not a problem at all for a developer to request some compensation, ESPECIALLY when it's not compulsory for the very hard work and late nights they put in to an application.If you are going to bitch about it, then write your own application and release it freely. You sound like an ungrateful love free stuff as much as the next guy, but anyone who programs knows what a pain in the ass it can be. ![]() Originally posted by aoeu:That's pretty bad form IMO. The only other NES emulator for Mac that I know about is, and you might need to speak Japanese to make the most of that.Hope this is some use - and while I appreciate the offer, I've no real interest in licking your whatever. It is not limited in any way, and it never expires.If being prompted by a message at launch offends you, there is an alternative version of Nestopia, though it didn't support pads last time I looked. Supports joypads.Please tell me there is! There is nothing forcing anybody to pay for Emulator Enhancer it can be used forever in its unregistered state. Bannister can lick my sweaty expletive deleted.Surely there is an alternative out there? Preferably one that.ĭoesn't need to be compiled from source. I know this has been expressed before by hundreds of other Mac users, but I refuse to pay for joypad support. ![]() I just spent a very unsatisfying hour trying to find a decent NES emulator for my Mac.I can't believe there are all these awesome free emulators out there for Windows, but all we Mac users can use is. Not sure if because the GUI starts immediately and only after a while it gets 'active'.To play:Run once, go to your newly created./appdata/pnes/roms/ to put roms there. ![]() But takes a while longer to load than, say, gnuboy. Thanks ptitSeb, downloading now.doublepost=,/doublepostErrors:Ok, The menu says 'Press A to start', but pressing X starts a game.The Gui says Y to remove from favourites, but Y adds to favourites.Experience:Runs smooth on Pandora.
