We combine some of the best emulation projects together into one beautiful unified application that simply organizes your personal games library. Watch as you drop in backups of your games (ROMs) & they are gracefully added to their appropriate library along with original box art!


As companies move away from older consoles and new operating systems render many games unplayable, it becomes harder to play all your favorite games from the past. Game conservation has never been more important, but the industry as a whole has mostly failed here.


Valiant efforts have been made by the Internet Archive and GOG.com(Opens in a new window) to preserve classic arcade(Opens in a new window), console(Opens in a new window), and computer(Opens in a new window) games, but the major game developers could be doing more. As nice as it is to have subscriptions to Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Now, or Nintendo Switch Online, those services can be shut off at any time. Nintendo's shuttering of the Wii's Virtual Console in 2019 is proof that these aren't real solutions.


For example, OpenEmu has a built-in library that shows you box art for each of your games, and automatically sorts by platform. It also lets you make custom collections across multiple platforms and universalizes controller schemes for each emulated system. It all comes wrapped in an easy-to-understand and attractive interface.


The best part is that OpenEmu takes care of the core emulation engines behind each platform. You don't have to hunt down the right core that is compatible with the ROM you have. When you download OpenEmu, it already comes packaged with a large selection of integrated cores. Many systems have multiple cores included, so there's never an issue with incompatibility.


While we can't directly link to any ROM sites here, they're pretty easy to find. Most sites are reputable but some may look sketchier than others. Use your best judgment when downloading files from the internet, and you can run them through an anti-malware app to be on the safe side.


In theory, OpenEmu is also compatible with some arcade ROMs, but support is experimental and your success getting these games to run may vary. In general, MAME(Opens in a new window) ROMs are the only type that can be played inside OpenEmu. If you come across JAMMA or Neo Geo games in your search, they won't work.


When you download a ROM file, they typically come zipped inside a zip or 7-zip file. The built-in Archive Utility on your Mac should be able to open these files, but if you're looking for something more powerful, you can download The Unarchiver(Opens in a new window).


When you successfully add a file, you might notice that the original ROM continues to exist on your computer. This is because OpenEmu doesn't just move a ROM's location, it actually duplicates the file itself. One version will exist inside your hard drive's Application Support files, while the original will continue to exist on your desktop, downloads folder, or wherever you have it saved.


This is important only because you should probably keep an eye on how much you're downloading. While most 8- and 16-bit game ROMs only take up a few kilobytes or megabytes of room, files for more modern system will begin to take up hundreds of megabytes or even several gigabytes. Some PlayStation and GameCube games can even require you to download multiple discs to get the whole game.


One major complication when playing retro games is that some systems require BIOS files to work. If you want to play games for the original PlayStation or Sega Saturn, for instance, you will first need to track down these special ROM files. OpenEmu has a user guide on BIOS files(Opens in a new window), but it's not too complicated that you can't figure it out yourself.


The good news is that OpenEmu is smart enough to know what's missing. If you run into an issue like this, a message will appear on the screen to tell you exactly what files you need to download. From there, it's just a matter of hunting down the right files and getting them into the system.


For PlayStation games, you will need several BIOS files, including scph5500.bin, scph5501.bin, and scph5502.bin. If you can't find the last one, but have found scph5552.bin, you can simply rename it to match the necessary file name. Sega Saturn games will require files named sega_101.bin and mpr-17933.bin.


Some console add-ons like the Sega CD, Sega 32X, and the TurboGrafx-CD are supported, but may also be a little finicky. OpenEmu will ask you to read the user guide before you try to add any disc-based games.


If you don't feel like messing with ROMS at all, OpenEmu actually includes a decent number of custom-built games called Homebrews. These titles are built by hobbyists to run on proprietary hardware, resulting in games that look and feel like classic console installments.


Open the program's main menu and select the Homebrew tab to view the list of games available. You'll find fan-made titles like Halo 2600 for the Atari 2600, an SNES remake of the Donkey Kong arcade game called Classic Kong, and a compilation of several Pac-Man titles called Pac-Man Collection for the Atari 7800.


The PlayStation DualShock 3 and 4, and the Nintendo Pro Controller can be connected via Bluetooth. OpenEmu is even compatible with the Wiimote. Controllers for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One may require you to download special drivers to work. Put your preferred controller into pairing mode and open your Mac's Bluetooth settings menu. Select the controller from the list of devices to establish the connection.


Each action has a field next to it that you can change to your preference. Directional input can be mapped to a modern joystick or to a D-pad. OpenEmu also adds special functions like quick save, mute, pause, and screenshot that you can match to any button. You can also add rewind and fast forward buttons, if you want to make old school games just a little more forgiving.


One thing you may want to do is add a screen filter, otherwise it's screamingly obvious on a 1080p monitor how low-res all of these games were. Head to OpenEmu > Preferences > Gameplay, and open the Shader drop-down menu. I typically leave it set to Pixellate, but the CRT and VCR settings make games look like you're playing on an old TV screen with scan lines and everything. Play around with what you like best, just make sure to close and reopen the game so new styles can be implemented.


Besides running your games through OpenEmu, the program also offers a few additional features. If you're done playing for the day, save your progress on the Save States page. OpenEmu can even auto-save for you and preserve several different save states, depending on the save method used. If you want to take screenshots while playing, use the Command + T keyboard shortcut (or the button you've assigned to the feature) to save the screen in the Screenshots page of the program.


If you're on a weaker device that stays away from Ubershaders... maybe after these optimizations you might finally be able to make the leap. Raw performance in Dolphin is up across the board thanks to many optimizations to the GPU emulation thread (which is emulated on CPU). Because this optimization affects the very core of Dolphin, pretty much every game should be faster, with a few select games seeing improvements of roughly 50%!


And, for our Android users, a lot of the performance improvements also affect tablets and phones, but we also have a special treat only for you. The Android GUI has also seen a huge overhaul that should make it easier to use and easier on the eyes. And for those having problems with particular games using features Dolphin can't reasonably emulate, we have a few presents from an old friend to patch them up.


The open-source multi-system game emulator is designed especially for macOS and comes with a plugin interface that supports games released on platforms like Genesis, Game Boy, and others. Setting it up is pretty easy to add and browse with a compatible gamepad. Originally launched in 2013, the platform made some significant changes in its recent upgrade version 2.2 with added support for a downstream and much more.
