PC88 emulation on OS X

[Kaladron]

I'm a bit clueless when it comes to emulators. Can anyone help me?

I've downloaded MESS for OS X and I have the PC88 system roms, but I just can't get anything to work.

Any help?

MESS is a right pain in the arse to get running. I use MESS for the ACan stuff.

Alternatively.. Are there any working PC88 emulators? I can't seem to find any.

Theres a Mac PC-88 emulator here, not sure how easy the menu's would be to navigate as it could all be in Japanese.

Failing that you could use something like WINE to run a Windows version of a PC-88 emulator, I use it under Linux to run stuff when theres no native version, I'm using it to run a windows X68000 emu and it runs perfect.

I tried PC88EM yesterday but it didn't work. Think it must not be compatible with Intel chips.

I do have a Windows partition but don't like to use it too much since HDD space is limited. Might have to, though, I guess.

I just googled "PC-88 emulation on Mac" and ended up here. Was very surprised to find myself asking the same questions 12 years ago. Still none the wiser!
