download a rom for mac

[M.Ulrich]

I'm new at this and I had no idea that there were so many fans of TSB......

Where and how can I download the newer versions of TSB for mac os x 10.4.11?

Any input would be great.

Thanks

You can download the updated ROMS from the Upload section http://www.tecmobowl.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=34.

You can find emulators for the Mac here http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/mac/

Thanks for your reply. I did find one called "nestopia" It was at http://www.bannister.org/software/nestopia.htm. Is there one that you would recommend? I was also wondering if there was other programs at the links that you gave me. I tried downloading the TSBTool and is was not compatible with my mac. I really want to learn to edit the games as others have.

Any input would be great.

If you're using a Mac, you may be out of luck (editing TSB ROMS).

TSBTool runs under the .NET framework, which is a Microsoft framework.

You may be able to get it to run on your mac using mono http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:OSX#Introduction_to_Mono_on_MacOS_X.

But the GUI may not work well.

I'm pretty sure you can use TSBTool from the command line under Mono (it's not as straight forward, but it's still much the same).

Sample command line:

# list contents of a rom, placing the data into a text file

$ mono TSBTool.exe TSPRBOWL.nes > data.txt

# apply the contents of data.txt to a new rom, using TSPRBOWL.nes as a base

$ mono TSBTool.exe TSPRBOWL.nes data.txt -out:newRom.nes

I wish that I could understand what you are saying.

So if I have the TSB tool, and a Rom of the game, am I able to edit the game, or is there something that I am missing?
