Supermodel Forum

Good evening,

right i'm running mountain lion and the emu was working fine. closed and opened the emu a few times with no problems.... but all of a sudden it's stopped working.

Here is what happens:

Code: Select all

Gareths-MacBook-Pro:~ Gareth$ /Users/Gareth/Desktop/Supermodel/Supermodel dayto2pe.zip
Supermodel: A Sega Model 3 Arcade Emulator (Version 0.2a)
Copyright (C) 2011 by Bart Trzynadlowski and Nik Henson

Error: Could not open 'dayto2pe.zip'.
Error: Failed to load ROM set.


I'm using the same rom that was working fine.

I have tried:
Deleted supermodel and all its files and re-downloaded a fresh copy.
Deleted the rom and re-downloaded a fresh copy.
Deleted SDL Framework and re-downloaded a fresh copy.
Restarted the mac.
-fullscreen.

Here is a link to my full laptop specs. I'm running the 15" http://support.apple.com/kb/SP649?viewlocale=en_US

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I think the problem is not to do with your Supermodel, SDL installation or ROM zip file, rather it is simply that Supermodel cannot find the zip file at the location you are specifying.

I assume the ROM file is in the same directory as the Supermodel executable, in which case you should either:

1) Run Supermodel with the full path to the zip file, like so:

Code: Select all

Gareths-MacBook-Pro:~ Gareth$ /Users/Gareth/Desktop/Supermodel/Supermodel /Users/Gareth/Desktop/Supermodel/Supermodel/dayto2pe.zip

Or

2) 'cd' into the directory containing Supermodel and the ROM first, and then run Supermodel from there, eg:

Code: Select all

Gareths-MacBook-Pro:~ Gareth$ cd /Users/Gareth/Desktop/Supermodel/Supermodel
Gareths-MacBook-Pro:Supermodel Gareth$ ./Supermodel dayto2pe.zip

I suspect that the first time you ran it, you were already in the correct directory and so this is why it worked.

Hope that helps, Nik.

ah yes many thanks nik. originally i had cd into the directory and did not the last time i tried.

Many thanks
