[Bug] Simulator do not start on macos

[qlrd]

Describe the bug

• System: Apple M2 15.6 (Sequoia)

The latest develop branch raise some exceptions when running the simulator on mac:

parser.add_argument(
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
        "--screenshot-scale",
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    ...<3 lines>...
        action=argparse.BooleanOptionalAction,
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    )
TypeError: BooleanOptionalAction.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'type'

This was easy to fix with:

parser.add_argument(
    "--printer",
    action="store_true",
    default=False,
    required=False,
)

But when running again the simulator, another exception was raised:

Poe => python simulator/simulator.py --device maixpy_amigo --sd
pygame 2.6.1 (SDL 2.32.10, Python 3.14.0)

I think you have dependencies issues. Keith has Mac and is using simulator just fine. I've searched this error and it is related to some versions of pygame

Yup, the last commit is from 2024. Found a similar pygame-ce (community edition) and is very well maintained. Added it on #784.
