ManyMC VS OpenEmu

download link here: https://github.com/MinecraftMachina/ManyMC

Looking at the github for ManyMC:

if you use ManyMC you can change the icon for each instance and that's what shows up in the dock and u can install mods directly from the interface from curseforge and some others

Hi, I had this same issue for a while! For me, I fixed this via downloading and using a m1 version of MultiMC called ManyMC https://github.com/MinecraftMachina/ManyMC

Download ManyMC it’s like multiMC but native for m1 macs I’ve been using it for 2 months now it runs great I think I have like 15 instances all modded and Theres a different Java u need to run it’s In the GitHub description get both Java 8 and 17 latest version of minecraft runs on 17 https://github.com/MinecraftMachina/ManyMC https://github.com/MinecraftMachina/ManyMC

Use ManyMC, it'll do all the patching and other workarounds for you :)

I would recommend ManyMC if you're having trouble. It allows for downloading premade packs or creating your own.

I use ManyMC, it’s a form of MultiMC that runs most Minecraft versions natively. I highly recommend it for both Forge and vanilla.

oh lmao you need to use this then: https://github.com/MinecraftMachina/ManyMC

i would highly recommend ManyMC, since it automatically patches in M1 support. I’ve been using it for months and it works flawlessly.

Tangentially related: if anybody is looking for a good way to organize a library of retro emulators and games on their MacOS laptops/desktop computers then I recommend OpenEmu. It is designed from the ground up to look and feel like a Mac app.

Just follow the link i posted. Btw you can build OpenEmu in a couple of minutes yourself. Some controllers (PS5 for example) are natively supported, more shader options, and other small stuff..

Download Openemu 2.0.9.1 https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/releases/tag/v2.0.9.1

As far as I know, devs have no plans to allow multiple bindings to the same inputs. It is apparently too complicated for them to implement. See: https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/issues/4600

The Pocket is a great device, highly recommended, get the Dock if you want to buy one. While waiting, I recommend using https://openemu.org/ on your Mac to run "roms", which are files that represent old games. To get the ROMs, google for "tubrografx roms archive.org". Then for a controller on a Mac, you can use a PS4/PS5 or Xbox (One/Series), if you have one lying around. That said, I recommend buying an SN30 Pro.

Download and Install OpenEmu

Huh? Try http://openemu.org/ and download the experimental version (with arcade support)

Yeah should be pretty easy if you have the ISO or a disc copy, OpenEmu should do it without issue - https://openemu.org

Otherwise you can try OpenEmu: it's a very Mac friendly emulator of a lot of old systems that works by dragging/dropping the roms in it. The "Experimental" (direct link) build includes support of Mame, which means support of Neo Geo roms.
