Runs on 10.7.5. Note that I don't actually have an SD card here or any Vectrex ROMs on this Mac. But run it does.

Awesome!

 

I found some options for changing the Target Platform, but failed to get a PowerPC build to compile.

You need an Xcode before 4.0 to build for PowerPC, I believe.

I'm not using Xcode to build this. The original source Richard sent me was written using Delphi, a Pascal compiler for Windows, so I'm using Lazarus:

Lazarus is a Delphi compatible cross-platform IDE for Rapid Application Development. It has variety of components ready for use and a graphical form designer to easily create complex graphical user interfaces.

Getting the initial version to work mostly involved changing the directory separator from "\" (what Windows uses) to "/" for (what Mac and Unix use). I then ran across some example code using a constant called DirectorySeparator, so I updated all my "/" changes to use it instead. This way the code could be used to create new executables for any platform that Lazarus supports.
