Re: [B2-devel] [Patch] Use default ROM when ROM path preference is blank

[Kevin J. <kev...@hi...>]

If only! The last official build was 2006. Even the last unofficial  
build for Mac OS X was July 2008. See http://emaculation.com/doku.php/sheepshaver#sheepshaver_for_mac_os_x 
.

I know you have no duty to help us, and even just posting your  
knowledge on this forum is a kindness, but it seems like such a small  
additional step, if you guys are compiling from the latest patch, to  
simply upload the result.
