This BBC Micro emulator which has been with us since the mid 1990s is beginning to creak with the introduction of new hardware on the Apple Mac.
With Catalina (macOS 10.15), the most recent version of BeebEm on stardot that worked on the Apple Mac (last updates into 2017) stopped working.
It was in 2020 (the year of Coronavirus) I started work on a new version of BeebEm for Mac that builds and runs on Catalina. It can also work on earlier versions of macOS too. With this, it should be possible to keep BeebEm working for a little bit longer as we move into 64-bit architectures and the switch to ARM M1 processors on Apple Macs. I've created a version for Mac which works on Apple Silicon (and Intel too).

I've been working on a port of BeebEm-windows which also works on mac for Catalina and above. This mac version is using Swift and Storyboards for the wrapper around the original C/C++ codebase. It's been quite laborious and uses a lot of stubs for the windows functions. This makes merging the latest windows changes easier. Even so, I'll happily accept any help. It supports Music5000, Joysticks, and Mouse (badly) which is quite nice. Econet is next!
