Yes, I know about Xcode. I already have it. High v101 just released for Windows. I am trying to compiling Higan v101 on Mac.

To anybody on these boards are, please kindly, to help me out how to compile on MAC? ^_^

I don't know how you'd go about compiling it, but if there's not any particular reason you need this specific emulator you can install OpenEmu. It's an all-in-one wrapper for many emulators that comes with a ROM library that downloads box art and you can select between different cores. I really like it.

I understand but I am just asking for Higan.. Nothing else. I do have OpenEmu but i just want to try Higan on Mac.

Send me the Xcode file, see what I can do

Just talked with Higan developer and his people. Here:

Everything *may* be good for v102 if the above changes get merged by byuu before then. He has a problem with Mac code. So I guess I will have to wait for v102.

By the way, DavidR099.. A step by step tutorial will be nice from you until v102 is release.

I didn't say I will succeed I wanted to try... couldn't you use wine or even better WineBottler so you can convert it into a mac app?

They did and it didn't succeed. Higan developer and his people found the problem and will release v102 soon. So don't waste your time. Again, if you want then go to bsnes site and download the source. :)

Yes, I did try Wineskin and it won't run this emulator at all. I have no problem with any emulators using Wineskin and this one is the problem. I rather to have a small file since Wineskin can convert them into a larger file than emulator actually size file.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
