Think of it this way, Apple developed Boot Camp so that one can install Windows on a Mac, and Microsoft sells Windows licenses that can be installed on Boot Camp. I’m not an attorney, but I’m just reading about the legality of this stuff. So, please check the license of the actual s/w that you want to install with emulation s/w. Yeah, I’m sure people don’t have to worry about someone knocking at your door with a lawsuit, but some people out there really frown on installing s/w illegally. I was reading about emulators and their legality, here in the US, they aren’t illegal, but what people don’t realize is that the actual app, in this case games, might be and that’s another thing one must consider if they are going to install this.

With a pretty good computer, you can expect to see full music, voice samples, and original frame rate 3D graphics for your classic games - assuming you have the legal right to play the ROM files on your Mac. Though the emulator’s performance will vary based on your specific Mac’s capabilities, quick test runs with classic titles such as Namco’s Pole Position (Vectrex), Bandai/Namco’s Tekken 6 (PSP), Nintendo’s Star Fox 64 (Nintendo 64) looked and sounded nearly perfect on even several-year-old iMacs. Other iOS- and Mac-compatible controllers work just as easily. Setting up Sony PlayStation Portable button mapping with an unsupported controller such as Hori’s HoriPad Ultimate was as easy as opening a Preferences menu and tapping each HoriPad button as OpenEmu spotlighted its original location on a virtual PSP. OpenEmu’s interface beautifully represents the individual systems it supports, while making playback of supported games as easy as dragging and dropping files atop its library window. Virtually every major 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit system is now supported, along with many popular handhelds, though there are some exceptions. In addition to the aforementioned “new” systems, OpenEmu continues to support older systems such as the Atari VCS/2600, Game Boy, NES, Genesis, and Virtual Boy, plus MAME arcade games, Sega’s Saturn, and other platforms. The new app also features a redesigned user interface, increased automap button support for controllers such as SteelSeries’ Stratus XL and Nimbus controllers, realtime gameplay rewinding, and more… Nintendo Famicom Disk System and Nintendo 64.

Released over Christmas, version 2.0.1 now allows Mac users to seamlessly play games from the following classic systems:

OpenEmu, the free Mac OS X multi-platform retro video game emulator, has received a substantial upgrade that expands both the list of supported classic game systems, and automap support for popular game controllers.
