• Apple now allows retro game emulators on its App Store

  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. https://openemu.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

• How do I play TurboGrafx 16 in 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. Source: 10 months ago

• Desmume emulator not working

  Hey there, for an emulation beginner and macOS user, and as an easy workaround, I'd recommend you use OpenEmu . It's a frontend for multiple Nintendo/Sega/Retro console emulators at once (Nintendo handhelds up to DS, and consoles up to Gamecube), and works completely out of the box with controller support. Best of luck! Source: 11 months ago

• Granny OP

  OpenEmu Is a collection of most retro emulators with the most beautiful and user friendly front end. It is Mac only though and you must supply your own games. My favorite source is Internet Archive. Source: about 1 year ago

• How do I change language within OpenEmu?

  The language used in OpenEmu is the one set in your System Settings > General > Language & Region (in Ventura). The other possibility is that you downloaded it from some shady site. Make sure you get it from https://openemu.org. Source: about 1 year ago

• Where to find game saves?

  Mine started misbehaving after Ventura. I ended up using the Experimental release (the little "Experimental" link beneath "Download Now" at openemu.org), in which they've addressed many of those kinds of issues. Source: about 1 year ago

• would my iMac be good for gaming?

  Also, it doesn't support PS2/3, but if you want to get into emulation on a Mac, check out OpenEmu. It's by far the most hassle-free emulation software I've ever used and your computer should be able to run any of the supported systems no problem! Dolphin might also be worth a shot if you're interested in GameCube/Wii games. Source: about 1 year ago

• Advice on games or recommendations as I have no idea what I'm doing

  The main gaming thing that I’ve found works well is emulation. There’s an emulation front end app called OpenEmu (https://openemu.org) which has support for everything from Atari 2600 to PS1. Dolphin (https://dolphin-emu.org) is also phenomenal for Wii/GameCube games, and there’s an experimental port of Cemu for macOS (https://github.com/cemu-project/Cemu/releases/tag/v2.0-10) that runs Wii U games incredibly well...
