About:
OpenEmu is an advanced video game emulator designed specifically for macOS, offering users the capability to emulate numerous classic video game consoles.
OpenEmu is an open-source project whose purpose is to bring macOS game emulation into the realm of first-class citizenship. The project leverages modern macOS technologies, such as Cocoa, Metal, Core Animation, and other third-party libraries. One third-party library example is Sparkle, which is used for auto-updating.
OpenEmu uses a modular architecture, allowing for game-engine plugins, allowing OpenEmu to support a host of different emulation engines and back ends while retaining the familiar macOS native front end.
Currently, OpenEmu can load the following game engines as plugins:
- Atari 5200 / Atari 7800 / Atari Lynx
- ColecoVision
- Famicom Disk System
- Game Boy / Game Boy Color / Game Boy Advance
- GameCube
- Game Gear
- Intellivision
- NeoGeo Pocket
- Nintendo (NES) / Famicom
- Nintendo 64
- Nintendo DS
- Odyssey / Videopac+
- PC-FX
- SG-1000
- Sega 32X
- Sega CD / Mega CD
- Sega Genesis / Mega Drive
- Sega Master System
- Sega Saturn
- Sony PSP
- Sony PlayStation
- Super Nintendo (SNES)
- TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine / TurboGrafx-CD / PCE-CD
- Vectrex
- Virtual Boy
- WonderSwan
One of the standout features of OpenEmu is how it organizes all your games into one unique, unified games library. Watch as backups of the games (ROMs) you already own are gracefully added to their appropriate library and boxmagically art is added. You can even create your own ‘collections’ mix and matched from different consoles.
Any generic HID compliant USB or Bluetooth game controller should work with OpenEmu out of the box.
OpenEmu works with macOS (OS X) 10.14.4 or above. Please read special instructions for opening.
