unofficial-mac-v14-opengl3-beta does not start on Mojave

Hi,

Could tell me how run PCem on MBP on Mojave ?

The app doesn't start, step by step after copying the pcem in the app folder what can I have to do ?

Hi,

unfortunately I'm in greece atm and have no laptop with me. Can you open up a Terminal, right-click the PCem app image, click "Open package contents" (or smth like this it is called), change to the Contents folder in there, until you find a "pcem" executable binary. Then type "cd" in the terminal, put a space, and drag & drop the folder where the pcem binary is located in to the terminal window. The full path will be printed in the terminal after "cd " -- hit enter, followed by ./pcem

It should then start the program and print a lot of debug information in the terminal window. I'm curious about this. Maybe we need some compiler or linker flags, need to link other shared libraries in or even have to do some opengl hacks for Mojave.

Thanks and best,
Aron

I ran this based on the developer docs brew install wxmac sdl2 openal-soft

And now when I run ./pcem, I get different output.
Set fullspeed - 0 0 0

Menu item not found: 1404

Ah. I forgot to install the ROMS. After doing that and installing those packages with brew, I got it running.

Thanks @halfnibble for reporting and updating on this. Glad it works for you 👍
@Alessandro1970 Does this issue still bother you?

Hello. I tried running on Mojave.
I used your suggested troubleshooting step above. Here is the out put
/Applications/PCem.app/Contents/MacOS/launch_pcem.sh
Set fullspeed - 0 0 0
Menu item not found: 1403
Menu item not found: 1404

I had manually add the support folder

I'm running Mojave myself now and will port V15 once I've got some spare time

FYI -- Similar issue happened with Catalina, just FYI.
(and is there a Catalina build available yet? Just curious)
It generated a mprotect: Cannot allocate memory after I got this part straight.. (so I moved to that ticket)

I'm on Catalina 10.15.4, I'm having the same message. I downloaded the ROMs and saved them where they should be. But the app is still showing that message to me. How do I fix this?

Hi, I have Catalina and the same as halfnibble. I tried is brew command but it installs a newer version (3.0.5.1) of wxmac. Can I do something to get the right wxmac version ?
