So, there's a program which runs on Windows to back up a 64mb usb EMS cart:- http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/usb-64m-smart-card
There's even now a program which runs on Android to back up a 64mb usb EMS cart:- http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/15904 … 64m-carts/
Just curious when will a standalone program be made to back up a 64 EMS usb cart on a MAC/OSX OS? Surely it can't be that hard to create if it exists for the programs above?
Thoughts.etc?

I've tried this one a few times. Not sure If I'm doing something wrong.
I downloaded it, and installed it into Applications. I open the read me and it says
---
BUILDING
make
On Mac, prior to building you must install pkgconfig and libusb from
ports, like so:
sudo port install pkgconfig
sudo port install libusb
(thanks to hyarion for this info)
----
I try putting it in Terminal and it says
Name-MacBook-Pro:~ name$ sudo port install pkgconfig
sudo: port: command not found
-MacBook-Pro:~ Name$ sudo port install libusb
sudo: port: command not found
Name-MacBook-Pro:~ Name$
----
Am I going wrong somewhere?
Have you tried to run it w/o install pkgconfig and libusb? Worked for me.
If not, I remember installing xcode before, but don't even know if that's usefull.
by default su/sudo is disabled, you have to enable it first:

There's already a precompiled binary for os X on the main page so normally you shouldn't need to compile it yourself. Bearing in mind I use linux and know nothing of the mysterious mac world.
maybe this will help, but yeah you'll need sudo working first

Good luck, I love this tool so much.
2xAA is working on a program and it should be coming very soon. In the meantime...
This should work.
