I am trying to install the decompilation of Perfect Dark found here
I placed my rom in the same folder as the script and was able to run the script successfully. The issue is that I get a prompt that says the following

"[0;35mThis script will build a native macOS version of Perfect Dark[0m
[0;35mRun the script from the same folder as your Perfect Dark N64 rom[0m
1) US (v.1.1) 2) EU 3) JP 4) Quit
Which version would you like to build?"

If I try to enter "1" or "US (v.1.1)" neither option is running correctly. Any help would be appreciated
 
Disregard- I figured it out

If anyone else runs into this issue:
I used bbedit program to copy and paste the coding from the website. The solution was to run the script in terminal. In terminal I was able to select "1" for the US version and the install went smoothly.

On a separate note, I'm really loving these decompilations. I've got Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Perfect Dark now running native at high frame rates and improved graphics. It's a great way to bring back the classics.

With BBEdit worksheets, if you see a prompt for a menu command, then you should press "return" to go to a new line, then enter the menu command, and press "enter" (or "control-return" if you don't have a number pad). Alternatively, you can type the menu command and select just the menu command (not including the prompt) and press "enter" or "control-return".

BBEdit doesn't show terminal (e.g. VT100) colors (e.g. "[0;35m") so things might not be as a clear as in a Terminal.app window.

If you want to preserve terminal colors then copying text from Terminal.app to TextEdit.app is probably the easiest method. Save the text as .rtf to preserve the colors.
