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.

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
