I'm having an error running roms on Mac
 
I'm sorry if this is not the right section for Errors, and if so please tell me where I should post this.
But anyway I've recently hacked a copy of Pokemon Silver, it works fine for me and a many others who have tested it for me, but for some reason it will not work on mac. Is this a common issue when editing roms and is there a way around it? Thanks in advance.

You should using something like Wine (is it Wine?) so you can emulate and hack ROMs.

Yeh I use wine to run .exe files. It works great.

My friends were using VBA for Mac, Is Wine an emulator also or is it for hacking roms? I don't have a problem with the hacking aspect it's just that my friends can not use the end result on their Mac's

I feel like there should be a giant announcement made for mac users, there is now a program out that runs the majority of emulators all in one for mac

http://openemu.org/

If your hack isn't running on any of the programs you can find, try this, I've been using it since it came out and it's such a godsend because I could never play GBA hacks without it

Wine is a program that runs .exe files on Mac
