The emulation begins almost instantly and everything I’ve tried so far has worked well. Starting a game is as simple as double clicking on a ROM. Viewing your game library as a collection of boxes in cover-flow feels awesome. You can organise your games as collections which show up in the side bar under your installed console emulators. If this wasn’t enough, the app also adds each game’s original box art to your library. If you already have some ROMs on your Mac, OpenEmu finds them automagically and adds them to your collection. You can add your own games to the app via ROMs simply by dragging them in. The app even gives you a Game (ROM) Starter Pack through their website to get you going. OpenEmu uses open source cores for emulating consoles such as the Nintendo DS, NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Sega 32X, Game Gear and more. The app comes pre-packaged with several console emulators and gives you the option to install them just by checking on which ones you want.
Apart from just looking good, OpenEmu is very simple to use. The preference pane of the app uses delightful icons and has amazingly well made versions of every supported console’s controller. The dark colour scheme in OpenEmu fits really well with the app and I absolutely love the mini console icons used in the app’s side bar. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the attention to detail. When I first opened the app, I wasn’t expecting it to be very good-looking. I’ve been looking for a way to play the Game Boy Advance version of Final Fantasy IV on my Mac and downloaded OpenEmu on Mikhail’s recommendation. The app uses a dark theme throughout and has a beautiful retro icon that is reminiscent of an arcade controller. OpenEmu is an open source video game emulation app for Mac that aims to bring all your favourite consoles to you in a single gorgeous app. In Mac OpenEmu – A Gorgeous App for Video Game Emulation on Mac
