If you're thinking about your childhood games on Atari, ColecoVision, or that old Commodore 64, you can relive those memories with retro gaming on your Mac. You're going to need some emulation software to help you get started. Our favorite emulation software comes from OpenEmu and we'll show you how to get it up and running.

What is OpenEmu

OpenEmu is a free (you can donate if you like their software) and open source graphical front end for many software emulators (which in turn are also open source). OpenEmu makes it exceedingly easy to get you up and running your favorite older generation titles from a multitude of systems such as Atari, Nintendo, Sega and even arcade systems.

OpenEmu features

OpenEmu allows for simple set up. You just need to download the installer, choose the emulators you want to freely download, and then drag and drop your saved titles to the program window. It automatically organizes the titles into the various systems that they were created for and makes it easy for you to configure keyboard, gamepad, and joystick controller inputs.

Getting OpenEmu

OpenEmu comes in two flavors. Press Pack and an OpenEmu Experimental Press Pack. The only difference as far as I can tell is that the Press Pack is lacking support for the M.A.M.E., which is arcade machine emulation software.

What is M.A.M.E.

For simplicity's sake, I'll define M.A.M.E. as an archive of the vintage software that runs arcade systems from yesteryear. The developers try their best to recreate the software systems that ran/run on arcade based computers and do so strictly via CPU emulation for that purpose. The developers avoid using GPU acceleration for the emulation because the actual running of the software is simply an aside to the purpose of their mission. As a result, if you want to run some older arcade games, aside from having an authentic arcade CPU board, your best option would be the M.A.M.E. project.

Here's how to get the full M.A.M.E. enabled version of OpenEmu.

  1. Head to OpenEmu.org.
  2. Click the Download Now button

Retro

Games? What games?

I purchased an X-Arcade Tankstick with trackball from Xgaming, and that purchase gave me over 200 arcade games that I can legally enjoy. M.A.M.E. also has an archive of free to download and play full-fledged arcade ROMS. On top of that you can also find a number of homebrew developers that have built and still build new games for the various emulated home consoles.

Final thoughts

Retro Games Mac Os X

I love gaming. Yes, even gaming on Mac (maybe especially so). I'm also set up for VR gaming on my MacBook pro connected eGPU. But I'll always have a soft spot for the older arcade titles from my youth. That's why I love OpenEmu. I can simply get right into the action without worrying about configuration. What emulator do you use for your retro gaming? Let us know in the comments!
