If you, like me, using Mac, but also have PC laptop (or, maybe have a virtual machine), you, probably, want to launch NESMaker on PC and stream only the application into MAC. This way you will see NESMaker window in you OS like it is native.

Step 1. Install Microsoft Remote Desktop from AppStore

Step 2. Add a remote user on Windows Machine


Settings -> Family & other users
Other users -> + Add someone else to this PC
I don’t have this person’s sign-in information
Add a user without a Microsoft account

Step 2. Allow remote access on Windows Machine

Settings -> System -> Remote Access -> Turn on remote desktop
Select users allowed to connect -> enter created user name

Step 3. Allow remote execution on Windows Machine

Win + R -> Regedit
Edit -> Find -> fDisabledAllowList -> Set to 1

Step 4. Create RDP file on MAC

bitmapcachepersistenable:i:1
remoteapplicationmode:i:1
remoteapplicationname:s:NES Maker
remoteapplicationprogram:s:C:\NESMaker\NESMaker.exe
remoteapplicationcmdline:s:
==============================

What to change: full address/username/domain/alternate shell/remoteapplicationprogram

Step 5. Launch your RDP file, enter password, have fun
You will have clipboard etc. Maybe you want a shared folder too, but this is outside our scope.
Any popup windows works excellent.
ALSO you can create a more RDP files for each wanted application and run in simultaneously!

P.S. After I've wrote this article, I successfully launched NESMaker under WINE without any crashes.
Here a post about this:

At the screenshot: Notepad and NESMaker running on laptop, but works inside MACos.

You can try to launch it via WINE too
Some people have tried to get it to work with Wine, but so far I have not heard any success stories about it:
