How to get BennVenn' joey-joebags working on macOS

The joey-joebags is a Game Boy cart reader/writer, it's available here.

I have tested these steps on Yosemite (10.10) and Sierra (10.12). You need to have Python 3, which is not installed by default, so install using Homebrew.

Install Homebrew:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Install Python, libusb and unrar

brew install python3 libusb unrar

Create a directory to store your virtualenv

mkdir ~/virtualenvs

Create the virtualenv

python3 -m venv ~/virtualenvs/python3

Activate the virtualenv

source ~/virtualenvs/python3/bin/activate

Install pyusb

pip install pyusb

Download the latest code from http://bennvenn.myshopify.com/pages/downloads

Extract the archive

unrar x 3_18c.rar

Start the program, the rest should be self explanatory

python JoeyJoebags3_18.py
