M.A.C.E. is still at very early stages of development, but will eventually add here more ways to try the emulation out. Currently, we have a couple pre-packaged Application bundles available for you to try out on Mac OS X and Windows 10 platforms below.

NOTE #1! In Mac OS X version, holding down the “Shift” key when starting an application will perform a “soft-reset” of the bundle, which may help if any of the contained files gets accidentally damaged. This will in particular restore resource forks of certain applications which are modified on the fly, for example ZeroGravity or Continuum which save high-scores in the application resources. (For Windows version, you need manually delete the file system cache folder – see below)

NOTE #2! As of MACE 0.1 beta 7, the bundles use Application Support folder in the User’s Library folder as storage for writable file system, so if you create any files and/or saved games you wish to preserve, you will find them in Application Support/MACE/<application-name>/vfs folder in AppleDouble format. On windows, the location is Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/<application-name>/vfs.
