MESS (Multiple Emulator Super System) 0.101
Gaming emulation for Apple I and II, Atari, Gameboy, more.
MESS (Multi Emulator Super System) is gaming emulation software that allows you to play games that were created for other platforms like Apple I, Apple II, Gameboy, Atari, Commodore, and more.
In a nutshell, MESS attempts to emulate as closely as possible the original hardware of various console and computer systems. As we discover how a system works, support for it is added to the emulator. This is happening at a rapid pace, so be sure to check back often for the latest release of MESS.
MESS has been ported for various systems (DOS, Windows, UNIX and Macintosh, mostly), and MacMESS is the name of the Macintosh port of MESS. MacMESS is based in a large part on MacMAME, so the user interface is mostly similar.
Requirements:
a Power Macintosh (a fast G3/G4 - or a G5 - is recommended, though it actually depends on which systems you intend to emulate)
about 20Mbytes of free RAM (some systems may require more RAM). More broadly, it is generally admitted that MacOS X requires approximately 384 Mbytes for any serious work
a video card that supports 16-bit or 32-bit video (thousands or millions of colors)
What's New in This Release:
You can forget about these horrible "UI toggle" and "partial keyboard emulation mode" hacks. I have sent them back to the Mesozoic Era. To access the MAME/MESS UI key, all you need is simultaneously pressing the Command key and the relevant key. For instance, to pause emulation, you may press Command+ESC (instead of ESC). The only exception is the 'Tab menu', which is to be accessed by pressing Command+Return (this is because Command+Tab is already used by Mac OS to switch between applications).
Also, MacMESS looks for all ROM and configuration files in the "MacMESS User Data" folder in your Documents folder of your home directory. Software to run under the emulation (disk images, tape images, etc.) and the MacMESS application can reside anywhere on your file system.
