This software allows free and open source game emulation on Mac OS X devices.
If you're looking for a powerful and modular emulation platform for your Mac, Open Emu might be the software for you. This platform is built on a modular architecture, which means it supports a wide range of game-engine plugins. This results in the ability to access many different kinds of emulation engines and back-ends while maintaining a familiar and easy-to-use OS X native front-end.
One of the great things about Open Emu is that it incorporates modern technologies from the OS X environment, such as Cocoa, Core Animation, and Quartz, as well as leveraging 3rd party libraries like Sparkle for auto-updating. This makes it a robust and modern software solution that is easy to keep updated.
To add to its flexibility, Open Emu also integrates a number of game engines as plugins. These include Nestopia (offering support for NES/Famicom), Gambatte (offering support for Game Boy and Game Boy Color), CrabEmu (offering support for Sega Master System, Game Gear, and SG-1000), and Visualboy (offering support for Game Boy Advance). This means that you can play games from a wide-range of different systems and consoles all in one place.
Some of the other features that Open Emu offers include high-quality scaling using Open GL, multithreaded video and audio playback, and a range of individual features and preferences per game engine. For example, the Nestopia Core provides NTSC video signal emulation for even more accurate replication of the original gaming experience.
All in all, if you're looking for a powerful and versatile emulation platform for your Mac, Open Emu might be just what you're looking for.
