You no longer have to “get your hands dirty” to emulate a ton of game consoles on MacOS. Thanks to OpenEmu ( covered here previously), emulation of about 30 consoles “just works.” We also now have RetroArch, a competing multi-system emulator that works on far more than just MacOS. OpenEmu’s strength is its MacOS-native interface.

When you run OpenEmu, all of the systems you see in the list are supported “out of the box.” It’s a mouse-driven UI designed to focus on your ROM collection, organized by system. In the past, adding CD-based games to your “library” in OpenEmu was hit-or-miss. bin/.cue file pair, you just add them as a pair, and they show up correctly without any trouble.

When you add a game to your library, the box art thumbnail just shows up automatically, no further action required on the user’s behalf.Īs many Playstation 1 era games are turning 20 years old now and Sony has abandoned any concept of backwards compatibility, it’s great to have an easy way to manage an archive of our collections. OpenEmu does not apparently support emulator tweaking (no super-hi-res PS1 emulation or widescreen hacks), nor does it support netplay, or streaming. It’s a single player (and local multiplayer) multi-system emulator front-end. (Technically we have to call it a front-end, because it’s just providing a unified interface to a collection of already-existing emulators). RetroArch is the relative newcomer on the scene. Their goal is to run basically any emulator on any machine, using an underlying middleware API they call LibRetro.

RetroArch is the application for the user, and individual emulators can be adapted or abstracted away by the LibRetro interface, turning them into “cores.” This is much the same way that OpenEmu works, but RetroArch is portable: it works not only on MacOS, but on Windows and Linux and even smartphones and jailbroken game consoles. You can run RetroArch on your jailbroken PS Vita, Wii, or even a $35 Raspberry Pi. It also allows for far more configurability than OpenEmu, for better or worse. Close to 100, although many of those are variations (several choices of GBA emulator, several choices of PS1 emulator, etc.) Compared to OpenEmu, RetroArch supports many more emulator cores.

The RetroArch default interface is an homage to the Sony PS3 and PSP’s “cross-media bar” (also known as the XMB) design. The reason this UI makes sense for RetroArch is that it can be entirely game-controller-driven. OpenEmu 2.0 introduced 16 new cores along with hundreds of bug fixes and lesser features.Ĭontroller support is automatic: plug and play. The new cores added several 2nd generation cores, support for optical media-based-image games, additionally emulating systems from Sony, Mattel, Bandai, Magnavox, Milton-Bradley, and Coleco. Another midstream update, 2.0.6.1, released Tuesday, (727 days after 2.0) added support for Mednafen's Sega Saturn branch, with a suggested quad-core i7 CPU to emulate. OpenEmu 2.1 ( Friday, October 15, 2019, 675 days after version 2.0.6.1 "coincidentally," exactly 5 years after the 1.0.4 Stella update) was significant, not for any new cores, but for supporting Metal, Apple's visual API successor to OpenGL and OpenCl, giving OpenEmu significant gains in both performance and battery life. OpenEmu 2.2 ( Friday December 27, 2019, 63 days later) added support for a downstream, Metal-forked version of Dolphin's GameCube branch, building on 2.1's foundation. This brings OpenEmu's number of supported cores to 31. Now if I need to use the pointer I just start up the Wii so that the sensor bar becomes active and that's it, there doesn't need to be any direct connection between your sensor bar and your pc.Limitations 32X Hybrid Games Īs confirmed by the OpenEmu developers on their official subreddit, Sega 32X-CD hybrid games (versions of games that could use a 32X cartridge and Sega CD at once, such as Night Trap, Corpse Killer, and Fahrenheit) are not supported.

If you don't have a sensor bar there's nothing there to receive the signal and it's as good as flinging a stick in front of the screen hoping the cursor will appear, what I did is I connected my Wii besides my pc and I have the sensor bar right beneath my monitor. It's basically what paulda says here, your wii remote pointer won't work because it's actually not pointing at anything. The sensor bar is just a set of infrared lights, so you can use a wireless sensor bar, a Wii that's turned on with no remotes connected, two candles, the sun (it works, barely it'd work better if we had two suns like on Tatooine) or hack together your own solution with infrared LEDs.
