Notcher 0.2.1

Notcher 0.2.1

Download Notcher.dmg below, open it and drag Notcher into Applications. It runs on macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

This build isn't signed with a Developer ID yet. The first time you open it, macOS will block it: go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway next to Notcher. (Or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Notcher.app in Terminal.)

What's new

• Click to play. Games and ROMs now start when you click them (or pick one with the arrow keys and press Return), so moving the pointer across the notch never starts one by accident. Prefer starting games by resting the pointer on them? Choose it in Settings → Notch → Start a game.
• No stray clicks. A click in the first moment after the notch opens is ignored, so a click meant for something under the notch doesn't start a game.

Everything from 0.2.0 is here too: drag NES and Game Boy ROMs onto the notch to play them, the Library page, the demo games and the new built-in games.

Notcher doesn't include any commercial games. Only play ROMs of games you own.
