How do I get ZSNES to work on a Mac?

You have to build the app yourself on your computer (They just give the binary). How can I get it to work? I've heard you can use it on a Mac, but the site says it's only compatible with DOS and Linux. Thanks!

    Hello Lucifer Sam,

    It looks like you just answered your own question, Lucifer Sam. If the developer's site says that it only works on DOS, Linux, and Windows, then that's it. If you have Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp then you might be able to get it to work that way.

    I did a quick Google search and came up with this place:

    Maybe you can find better support by searching further.

    An alternative would be to try to find a Macintosh compatible Super Nintendo Emulator that does the same thing ZSNES does. Try going to VersionTracker and seeing if you can find a comparable application there.

    http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/

    I typed "Super Nintendo Emulator" in the text field at VersionTacker, and got five hits, from BSNES, Snes9x, ZSNES, to SNES9X Converted 1.39x6. So you might try those instead. Best of luck.
