Old stable releases are here.
The Universal Binaries are no longer built or supported. Goodbye PPC, my old friend. The Intel 32/64 build is compiled on OS X 10.6.8 with Xcode 3.2.6 with and SDL 1.2.14. If these do not work for you, compile your own. NOTE: The 32/64 bit builds are only supported on OS X 10.6 or above.
If you have any questions/comments about these builds, feel free to mail me at roni@NOSPAM@parodius.com. I will not reply to ROM requests or other such nonsense. Also, I am not, nor have I ever been a member of mamedev, I just do this as a service to the community. If you have questions about the internals of the program, I'm not really the person to ask.
