CocoaMSX: New port of blueMSX to OS X

Just gave it a quick test run, works fine on my retina Macbook Pro

Of course it's still an alpha and could use some work in the settings and it needs an alpha, but very good to see a new MSX emulator on the Mac!

Actually, I upgraded from Snow Leopard, and I hardly considered it a downgrade

But the real reason is that I I just don't have the time to support a wider scope of OS's.

Actually, one of the first things I did was rip out SDL
There is no makefile to speak of, since the app is Xcode-based, but if you want the source, check out http://cocoamsx.com

I did have to tweak the sound engine slightly to get sound working correctly on my Mac - it was a single #define. I don't remember whether I kept the #ifdef, or whether I removed it completely (since I never planned to target PPC Macs), but you're welcome to take a look at the source of aquaMSX (http://code.google.com/p/aquamsx/), which CocoaMSX is based on - the #ifdef should still be there. Let me know if you can't find it.

As to the color palette - I don't recall having any issues with that. I do recall seeing some code to reverse the color palette in certain cases, but that code was already part of aquaMSX, and I didn't have to do anything.

All in all, to get things in "workable" state (meaning, to a point where I could run a single game from a shell without any obvious aberrations), I only recall having to tweak the sound engine, by using the correct #ifdef to fill the sound buffer correctly on Intel (the #ifdef was already there, it's just that the #define wasn't set correctly).

My goal is to integrate CocoaMSX with OS X as smoothly as possible. That includes things like saving state on shutdown, so that the emulator can resume with the rest of the OS, as if the system was never shut down. I also intend to make it feature-equivalent (as much as possible) with the original Windows version.

Any reason why it can't run under snow leopard?. I refuse as said by other people here to downgrade my operating system.
