It's slow as hell, but should be able to access your hard drive and whatnot to load the emulator and games from there, once the OS is up and running. The best ROMs to use are the 1MB ROMs from Macintosh Quadra computers. This wikiHow teaches how to install a video game emulator on your PC, Mac, iPhone, or Android device, which will allow you to play copies of old games from systems like NES, Sega Genesis, and PlayStation. If you're hestitant about installing Linux, you can look for a Live CD distro that works on MACs too. While using a 1MB ROM with an emulator allows users to run Mac OS 8.1 and earlier, using 512K and 256K ROMs with an emulator allow users to run only versions of the Mac OS from 7.6.1 and earlier. So is your problem getting the controller to work with the emulator? Or are you just looking for a better emulator that doesn't need the hassle of this other program you apparently need?ĭo you by chance have an Intel Mac? Or do you have the option of installing a MAC version of Linux alongside your main OS? If you can get Linux running, your emulation potential should be a hell of a lot wider.

That and the lack of good emulators en mass for MAC systems. Ive found SDL Mame that looks promising (no GUI however), but Im not able.

We don't tend to have knowledge about MAC emulators, as emulation is primarily a PC dominated field. I wonder where can I find an updated Mac version (if possible with a GUI) of Mame.
