OpenEmu is an open-source multi-system game emulator designed for macOS. It provides a plugin interface to emulate numerous consoles' hardware, such as the Nintendo Entertainment System, Genesis, Game Boy, and many more. The architecture allows for other developers to add new cores to the base system without the need to account for specific macOS APIs. At the moment, OpenEmu supports ROMs for the Game Boy Advance and Color, NeoGeo Pocket Color, NES, SNES, Sega Game Gear, Master System and Genesis, and others, with new open-source and publicly licensed emulation cores added periodically. The original Atari 2600 was recently included, utilizing the Stella emulation core. OpenEmu is an amazing tool that's made emulation available to those without bachelors degrees in Computer Science. By following the steps in this tutorial, you're now able to relive the experience of almost any classic console right on your Mac. What games are you most looking forward to (re)playing?

Samsung all share for mac. I've written in the past about emulation and OpenEmu, a multi-console emulator front end that uses multiple emulation cores to provide a unified experience to macOS (OS X) emulation.

OpenEmu also sports MAME Arcade emulation support, but its a bit tucked away.

Step 1: Download OpenEmu Experimental

Go to openemu.org and click the swatch and download OpenEmu Experimental, and install it.

This scfeenshot of the OpenEMU site is old. The design on the OpenEMU website has slightly modified to make the experimental version easier to find

Step 2: Install the MAME core

Once installed, launch OpenEmu, open preferences, and select cores. Click the install button next to MAME.

Step 3: Install games

Games can be nabbed from the usual suspects like ~~emuparadise~~ (defunct), the legality of this is fairly grey. OpenEmu only supports zipped ROMs, so if the ROM comes in a .gz or .rar, be sure to decompress its contents and rezip it. Name it the exact name as before (but with the new extension of zip). OpenEmu's MAME core is version 0.149.1, so its significantly behind the windows version (from 2013 to be exact). Some sites will list the earliest known support needed for the rom in question.

Notably, you'll want access to the dipswitches, hitting F2 repeatedly while the game is launching will take you to most ROM bios screens that enable modes like free play. Note, I had issues resuming games and had to force quit MAME resuming so you may want to hold off resuming games.

Optional: NeoGeo Emulation

Emulating NeoGeo games requires one extra step, you'll need to get the NeoGeo ROM, the one I used is from emuparadise which is now defunct, try a popular search engine and search 'Neo Geo BIOS'. Drag the Neo Geo zip into OpenEmu. You'll see the NeoGeo ROM in your game list, but ignore it and double-click the games as you normally would.

Good luck with OpenEmu. Amanda for mac. K lite media codec for mac. I suggest checking out the Dolphin Emulator as it has a great macOS port for GameCube and Wii, and PCSX2 for Windows for Playstation 2 emulation. Both are able to play old games in HD and UHD depending on your CPU/GPU.
