Not wanting to start a flame war here, but I am one of the members of
the Metrowerks staff working on CodeWarrior... I even tried porting
MAME 32 to the Windows tool set last summer, but hit problems with the
emulation cores. We're sorry that we've had codegen bugs for you, but
that is the potential risk we get by trying to radically improve code
optimization.
As for the DASM/MakeWave thing... me porting those is probably wishful
thinking right now. My Mac sits mostly unused, sharing a monitor with
my Win98 test machine.
Here is a possible question: I wonder if you could use the sound
output from a 2600 to write back out to a Supercharger tape to provide
a way to save a game's status? It might be an interesting experiment
