How do I install gopher2600 on MacOS? I can't build binaries for the Mac unfortunately so I don't distribute binaries on the github page. Both @Andrew Davie and @SpiceWare can build binaries for the Mac though. Hopefully, they will see this and share their builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a good idea. I was going to wait until v1.0.0 is released before doing that kind of thing. The other option is to get github to build the binary with a github "action" but I've never investigated it fully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Al_Nafuur Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I was able to build with: git clone https://github.com/JetSetIlly/Gopher2600.git cd Gopher2600 brew install go brew install pkg-config brew install sdl2 brew install freetype2 make release @JetSetIlly are there any other package dependencies? Gopher2600 seems to work fine on my MacBook now, but the Zelda binaries I have build don't work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll implement a better fix but for now, you can comment out lines 61-63 in the file hardware/memory/cartridge/mapper_3eplus.go if len(data)%cart.bankSize != 0 { return nil, fmt.Errorf("3E+: wrong number of bytes in the cartridge file") } That seems to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with actions but I know Duckstation uses them to build releases for multiple systems. The Universal(ARM/x86) releases for Mac are unsupported because they don't have any Mac hardware. Don't know if action configurations can be viewed by anyone, but if so it might be a starting point. I run Duckstation on the Mac mini that's hooked up to my 4K TV, it's the only PS1 emulator I'm aware of that will render the games at higher resolutions on a Mac. I've posted about it here, it's amazing how much detail can be extracted from PS1 games that we only saw rendered at 240p back in the day.

LatchKeyKid Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the working bin to try. I'm enjoying the demo! This will unabashedly sound n00bish but I really like the use of both mirrored/reflected and updated playfields to make the terrain with added ball/player sprites on occasion to spice things up. I know that uses up alot of CPU cycles from Spiceware's blog so it's nice to see it in action here as well.

0078265317 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Nothing compares to the original. But givin the limitations of the 2600 this is pretty good. Edited March 25, 2023 by 0078265317 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatchKeyKid Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Has anyone gotten the boomerang and/or bow in the game? I've been unable to get the bow and remembered the boomerang is supposed to pick up items at range but it's not in the same dungeon unlike the original. Any thoughts?

mzxrules Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) the game isn't really in any state to be released as a playable demo at the moment, which is why I haven't posted a public binary of it on this thread. I am interested thought to see if/how it works on real hardware. The bow cannot be obtained because I hadn't gotten around to implementing appropriate behavior for the room where you'd normally obtain it. The boomerang has not been implemented either, but that's more because I'm not sure that it makes sense to implement one due to limit of being only able to use one item at a time.

LatchKeyKid Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Thanks for making it! It's definitely great to see something so close to Zelda working on the 2600; the music especially adds to the experience. I just figured I'd ask in case I missed something.

If you are using player 2 controller button for pause anyway, why not use joystick position as functions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatchKeyKid Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 1 hour ago, Yurkie said: If there is anyone that has some good controller ideas please? From what I read, the controller input has two extra functions that can be used for additional buttons but "borrowing" the paddle function inputs. The genesis controller gets a second button because it uses one of those inputs and I think another controller (the CBS booster grip add on) had two additional buttons. I suppose you could instead map the pause and second item (less used) to the console difficulty switches instead if they're not being used.

+fdr4prez Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Is it possible to use the joystick for the player and on the second port use the little keyboard/keypad controller? Then you'd have all kinds of buttons for functions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The .bin runs correctly in Stella 6.7 and reports the bankswitching as 3E+, but I know that Stella is more forgiving than real hardware. The first screen rolls one time in Developer mode when you start, but doesn't prevent playing the game, - James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
