This simulator was tested on ARM MacBook.

Updating Simulator for macOS

macOS requires genromfs and X11 Libraries to run Simulators.
* Added instructions to install genromfs
* Added instructions to install X11
Adding Xorg Server

The linker was unable to identify the location of X11 libraries.

removed -L/opt/X11/lib from ln 145

+Prerequisites For macOS
+-----------------------
+
+We need ``genromfs`` to build simulators(NON GUI).
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      $ git clone https://github.com/chexum/genromfs.git
+      $ cd genromfs
+      $ make 
+      $ make install
+   Now Copy the built `genromfs` `exec` to /opt/local/bin
+
+For GUI Applications we need X11 Libraries, libx11 can also be built using Homebrew or by Installing XQuartz.
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+   
+      $ sudo port install xorg-libX11
+      $ sudo port install sudo port install xorg-server
