PCem

I have a Mac 2012 system running OS X 10.10, and I read about PCEm on another forum. I decided to download it, but out of all the versions on offer (Win and Linux), I decided to use PCEm on Parallels Desktop 10 and have no problems with it except one. With this, I was able to run DOS 5.0 but because of this problem, I had to do everything in the MS-DOS Shell. I have no idea how to fix it inside Parallels, and running the emulator through CrossOver produces a crash right when it starts up, so I have no choice but to run it through PD. Don't get be wrong, PCEm is great, but Tom thinks OS X is not worthy of a port. So, is there any chance we will get to see an OS X port sometime in the future?

When have I ever said OS X is not worthy of a port? OS X doesn't have a port because :

- I don't own a Mac
- I don't really have time to support an OS X port as well as Windows and Linux - even Linux is barely supported at this stage
- No one else has volunteered to do one

If any one wants to port PCem to OS X then I'm quite happy to include it in the main codebase.

Yeah, Linux doesn't even support the dynarec. Or loading ISOs (oh wait windows doesn't support that either).

for what it's worth, it runs on WIne..

I'm afraid that I couldn't get it to work with Wine. I'm still having the same problem this person is having; it crashes immediately upon startup, and the logs show that this is a page fault. I even tried different engines.

Actually, my problem was that I didn't add any ROMs yet for any system and it works now. Strange that PCem crashed instead of it giving the usual "no roms detected, exiting" message. I guess I can join the community proper.
