#Mame emulator mac el capitan for mac os x#
OpenEmu 2.0 began requiring a minimum of OS X El Capitan 10.11, dropping support for Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x) through OS X Yosemite (10.10.x). Introduced on Wednesday, Dec 23, 2015, (exactly two years after 1.0) OpenEmu 2.0 was released.

A Wednesday, Octo(296 days later) midstream update to the OpenEmu library (1.0.4) would introduce Stella, a core emulating the 2600, a 2nd generation console from Atari. OpenEmu 1.0 needed Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x) to run. OpenEmu 1.0 released on Monday, Decemwith 12 "cores" emulating Nintendo, Sega, NEC, and SNK's home, tabletop, and handheld consoles from the 3rd through 7th video game console generations. Weinberg and his friend, Ben Devacel, began searching for more developers to port other emulators to macOS, which led to the name change to OpenEmu in 2009, to better describe the multi-system emulator. I haven't yet tried SDL MAME.OpenEmu was first released on Wednesday, July 4th, 2007 as OpenNestopia, a Cocoa-port written by Josh Weinberg for then Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger of the NES/ Famicom emulator Nestopia (written by Martin Freij). The upshot is that I've gone back to MAME OSX. I found that more of my roms failed to play under OpenEmu than MAME OSX, after making the preferences correction identified by vickerrrs in an earlier post. In fairness, most games have only one joystick and fewer than six buttons, so OpenEmu should be fine. I tried crazy climber, which has two joysticks in the arcade version, and it just can't be played because the controls can't be mapped under OpenEmu. That works well enough for simple games like pac man or galaxian, which use a joystick and maybe a button or two, but arcade games that have complex controls might not be playable on OpenEmu. The mappings you choose apply to all games. OpenEmu only allows you to map the following: left, right, up, down, and buttons 1 through 6. MAME OSX allows you to map each of the arcade game's controls to your own controller. The area where OpenEmu fails to match MAME OSX is in the control mappings. No more using the tab key to get to the game control mappings as in MAME OSX. OpenEmu starts right up and has a fully graphical interface. (The regular OpenEmu build appears to emulate home consoles only.) OpenEmu even downloaded the mame "core" when it determined the core was not installed.

Make sure you install the "Experimental" build or you will lack support for mame.

OpenEmu installs seamlessly - just download it and place the app in your Applications folder. I tried OpenEmu as suggested by vickerrrs.
