Catalina throws up too many warning dialogs if they live elsewhere. If no major problems are found, I'll submit a merge request. The code for this has all been uploaded to a branch called mac-minimal-changes in my GitHub fork. Here's a barebones build which works on 10.12 through 10.15. If users ask about the status of Snes9x on Catalina, you can point them to this Github issue.
Dolphin recently released a statement warning users to delay upgrading to macOS 10.15. Snes9x isn't the only emulator in this boat.
I'll prioritize features requested by users if we get any.
After that, I hope to add multicart, video options, video recording, cheats, and music box back as time allows. It still may be a few weeks before this release is done. I plan to release a version with the ability to load games/freeze states, and play with keyboard/joypad as soon as I can. I still plan to finish the work, but it will take time. Every part of the code except the audio code has required large changes, and I have not had enough free time to finish the work before Catalina's launch. Apple released macOS 10.15 Catalina today, and Snes9x does not run on it.Įarlier this year, I volunteered to update Snes9x for Catalina, but I severely underestimated the amount of work this would require.
