Has anyone managed to run a game?

I tried it but had some issues... first of all, on Mac, I had to run `brew install sdl2` as that's a native dependency required...

Now, I seem to need a ROM:

> Where path to rom is a string

I tried to use this one: https://www.emulatorgames.net/download/?rom=super-mario-bros

But just got lots of nonsense error messages no matter what I did.



I tried more in-depth. MacOS hang there and not even sdl examples can run. I switch to windows wsl2 sample run and a windows also pop up. But as you exprience a lot of message which seems strange. Anyway at least I guess it is NOT the main-thread issue (e.g. one said bad op code.)


Further testing and basically two kind of err code for the 6 rom I tested, example here:

;(nes:setup-and-emulate "1943.nes") #| The value NIL is not of type 6502-CPU::INSTRUCTION when binding 6502-CPU::INST |#

;(nes:setup-and-emulate "DKJU.nes") #| invalid number of arguments: 6 |#

I test both Rom using fcuex64.exe and both worked. Hence, I guess it is not usable. Sadly as the source code is very readable, unlike well python one.


I'm not sure what changed up break everything. When I can get back to my computer in a week or so, I'll take a look.


I've not tried to run this repo in "a long time" :tm: even back then, it had some fun and exciting sharp edges that I never got around to fixing. Apologies.
