OpenEmu For Mac

Retro games still retail their charm, even if you cannot play them on a modern computer without an emulator. OpenEmu is a macOS application designed to offer support for multiple emulation engines in order to help you keep all your vintage games in the same place.

To help you configure the application correctly, OpenEmu comes with a streamlined setup wizard. Right off the bat, you must specify which video game systems you want to deploy. Keep in mind that this is not the complete list: these are only the cores that require user confirmation.

The next step is to allow OpenEmu to scan your Mac for ROM files located on your computer: this way the app will automatically add your games to the app’s library. However, importing games manually is just as easy: simply drag and drop the game image on top of the OpenEmu main window.

OpenEmu is able to emulate various consoles, such as the Virtual Boy, the Sega Genesis, the Nintendo DS, and more. As a result, on top of being able to organize your vintage games, you are also able to run them right on your Mac anytime you like.

For your convenience, besides the default smart folders, OpenEmu offers you the possibility to catalogue your games into various collections: you get to group the games included in the library any way you like. Last but not least, via the OpenEmu Preferences window you get to quickly adjust the control keys for each supported console.

OpenEmu proposes a simple, intuitive, and user friendly solution for managing your video games collection. The best part is that OpenEmu is also able to emulate the original consoles, so you will be able to play vintage games on your brand new Mac.
