OpenEmu VS pcsx2

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.

I still think TellowKrinkle's version (https://github.com/tellowkrinkle/pcsx2) is better, even if it doesn't have a native M1 version. The most important thing performance related is the Metal renderer, and that version has it, as well as a Vulkan and an OpenGL renderer. I tried Aether, but still has some bugs, and I think the original interface is better suited for computers

Release : macOS 1.7 Dev 2022-04-10

Just use Tellowkrinkle's PCSX2 port for Mac. It also features a Metal renderer giving much better performance compared to older releases. Here's the link: https://github.com/tellowkrinkle/pcsx2. Also, I'm not sure if it would run that great on a dual core or even be able to open on 10.15, but it's worth a shot.
