I was wondering what the system requirements are for the Mac port ? There are not mentioned anywhere.

On 10.2 the last version I managed to run was v1.51, because as of 1.52 the .dmg archives won't open anymore (Apple broke backward compatibility in the archiver program at some point).

If 10.2 is still supported, could the Mac port author also distribute the port in an archive format that is 10.2-compatible (perhaps a .zip ?)

I'm sure the system requirements are the same across all ports (hardware wise):

to run simple games (such as Super Mario World, Ms. Pac-man, Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts, Zelda: A Link to the Past, etc), you'd need a 300MHz CPU and 64MB RAM. for more complicated games (special chip games, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III, Earthbound, etc) you'd need 128MB RAM and a 600-1,000MHz CPU.

From the mac help files:
Code:
System Requirements

Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
QuickTime 7.0 or later
PowerPC G3 300MHz or later
G-Force/ATI Rage 128 or later

Certain games use added hardware which will require a faster Mac. The specs listed above is the minimum to use Snes9x in any playable form. It is recommended that you get a semi-modern Mac with a 800MHz PowerPC processor if you want good results. A 1GHz PowerPC or Intel Mac is recommended for those that want a near perfect experience.


zones is rather busy atm, but I'm sure he'll comment when he comes around.

Thanks. :wink:
Probably I'll remove the codes for 10.3.x in the next version... It's now too hard to maintain.
