OS X Console Emulator 'OpenEmu 1.0' Launches
OpenEmu 1.0, an open source project designed to bring game emulation to OS X,
has officially launched following a lengthy beta testing period. Though there
are other emulator options for OS X, OpenEmu has been designed from the ground
up for OS X.
For the first time, the ‘It just works’ philosophy now extends to open source
video game emulation on the Mac. With OpenEmu, it is extremely easy to add,
browse, organize and with a compatible gamepad, play those favorite games
(ROMs) you already own.
OpenEmu is able to emulate the hardware of several different consoles,
including several 16-bit systems like the Game Boy, GameBoy Color, Game Boy
Advance, Game Gear, NeoGeo Pocket, Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis,
and Super Nintendo, among others.
The emulator features a native OS X interface with a design that mirrors
iTunes, offering up ROMs in a unified card-style menu organized by system.
OpenEmu includes full save state support, allowing multiple ROMs to be played
at once, and it also provides OpenGL scaling, multithreaded playback, and
gamepad support.
Multiple controllers are supported, including console controllers from
Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation, along with gamepads from Gravis, Logitech, and
more.
OpenEmu can currently be downloaded from the OpenEmu website for free. [Direct
