  • Apple now allows retro game emulators on its App Store
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Apr 2024
    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.

  • Mac/OS OpenEmu - Any way to automatically map PS5 controller for all systems?
    1 project | /r/OpenEmu | 6 Dec 2023
    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..

  • Analog Stick AND D-Pad at the Same Time?
    1 project | /r/OpenEmu | 30 Jun 2023
    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
  • How do I play TurboGrafx 16 in 2023?
    1 project | /r/TurboGrafx | 26 Jun 2023
    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.

    Yeah should be pretty easy if you have the ISO or a disc copy, OpenEmu should do it without issue - https://openemu.org
  • Emulators
    1 project | /r/neogeo | 7 Jun 2023
    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.
