If the association isnвЂ™t working properly with your emulator, donвЂ™t fear. OpenEmu will automatically grab all the common ROM file extensions, so you can simply double-click on ROMs in Finder to launch the associated games. Some emulators will automatically assign the appropriate file extensions, while others will not. If you try and double-click on a ROM file to open it, you might find that nothing happens. Depending on the system youвЂ™re using, there are a few different ways to launch your game. Once you have the ROMs and emulators downloaded, you can actually play retro games on macOS. So donвЂ™t worry about finding macOS-compatible ROMs, since such a thing doesnвЂ™t exist. As far as the ROM is concerned, the emulator is the operating system. Note that ROMs themselves donвЂ™t care about your operating system.

A number of torrent trackers include ROM downloads for a variety of systems, typically packaging hundreds of games together in one torrent.

However, ROMs can still be found in the same places you might pirate other copyrighted content. As a result, major emulation sites have voluntarily shut down to avoid legal repercussions, removing a major resource for ROM downloads. While this was once overlooked by companies owning the copyright of emulated games, publishers have become less lenient in recent years. As you can imagine, this wasnвЂ™t exactly kosher from a legal perspective. It used to be that a number of websites offered freely available ROMs for download. It can run games from popular systems like NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Game Boy, and dozens more. The modular emulation program has quickly become the most popular emulation platform for macOS. ItвЂ™s like an emulation hub for the most popular retro game platforms. OpenEmu is a free, open-source project that can emulate multiple systems on macOS. Our strong preference, however, is OpenEmu.

If you just want to emulate one platform, you can download a single emulator from here. Emu Paradise maintains a collection of Mac-compatible emulators you can explore. Emulator Zone provides the largest collection of functional emulators to download, but it can be light on Mac emulators. Some emulation systems can handle more than one console, but most are individualized. If you want to play PS1 games, youвЂ™ll need a PS1 emulator, and so on. If you want to play NES games, for example, youвЂ™ll need an NES emulator.

Yes I can be exceptionally nerdy and lazy, but then that's why I feel at home in online communities full of exceptional people.Emulating a game requires two parts: the ROM, which contains the game data, and the emulator, which acts as the console system. I have a 'standard' profile that's good for things like using the mouse, right and left click, TAB, Enter, CTRL, SHIFT, and ALT, scrollwheel, etc., so if I need to do something I can pause the emulator, switch gamepad profiles and go do whatever, then pull up the emulator, switch profiles back to SNES9x and keep playing without ever having to get up and get the mouse. To be even more nerdy, there's also a way to assign buttons to switch to an entirely different setup while you hold that button, so I hold the select button, and I can switch to other gamepad profiles by just hitting the square or triangle or whatever button is mapped to the profile I want. Having a mute button right on my controller is nice. What's nice is with joy2key you can also map things to the mouse and have all the ALT, CTRL and SHIFT buttons, or even media buttons, so I use the other joystick for the mouse and then map the shoulder buttons to things like save and ESC and other convenient commands within the emulator. The mapping utility isn't needed for SNES9x, but I use it to make profiles for lots of different programs and games, so I just have an SNES9x profile.

Yeah, I just use a Logitech wireless PS2 controller with a PS2 to USB adapter and then I use joy2key to map the gamepad buttons to keyboard commands.
