Hi all. I’ve found an emulator pack of sorts, that is one app with many emulator cores within it. It is fairly accessible, with help tags in place of labels, but the preferences tabs aren’t available at all to voiceover, either in tabbing or the voiceover cursor. I hope that we can make this emulator accessible, going as far as being able to either OCR the screen automatically, with free OCR packages, or grab text information right from the rom. I really believe video games, as part of culture, could be made far more accessible to blind people than has been seen so far, as shown by “accessible mario” attempts, and even a Chrono Trigger project, for windows of course, that seeks to make Chrono Trigger accessible. Now, with open source projects like open emu for the mac, we can take advantage of this and make video games work for us. Of course, this will probably not happen, but it’s worth a try to see how many blind developers, or sighted ones who could help, would help us. The Open-emu staff may or may not be willing to help, but seeing as it’s all open source, we could make a fork of it anyway, with or without their help. At least we could make the application accessible, at most we could make some games accessible, like text of story-lines and such. Then we could have Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy, and the host of them all, accessible. We just need people willing to try and explore. Oh if only I knew programming in depth, I’d gladly help a lot. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --->
