On my PC, I used to use FCEUX for the emulator which as far as I know doesn't run on a Mac. What is the best developer software/emulator that is Mac compatible?
I use FCEUX for Windows in Wine on my Linux PC. I also remember there being Wine for any Mac made in about the past decade.

I got Wine to work and it runs good but I am seeing that the video output looks a little diffused. I would like nearest neighbor. What did you do?
I run FCEUX (debugging version) at 1x and on a non-Retina display. I need the extra space anyway to see the debugger, PPU viewer, or nametable viewer. Does your Mac have a Retina display? Or do you have poor eyesight that requires magnification?
Mine has retina display. I think I figured out how to get rid of the diffusion: Config > Video > Direct Draw > Create Surface in RAM. I thought I tried that before but I guess I didn't. Oh well. I feel better now.
Do you have any recommendations for a programmer's notepad type program for a Mac? I was using GVim before when I was using Windows but I'm sure there is better out there. Also, I use NESASM3 as a compiler if that makes a difference.
