#Arcade Emulator On Mac OS X

Arcade Emulator On Mac OS X

The initial public release was loosed on December 25, 2013. It's not necessarily an easy process, in fact it's rather fiddly to tell the truth, but with the right software and some patience you can enjoy the classics on OS X.Hands down the most beautiful, elegant and functional emulator to ever grace OS X. Mac OS X isn't the hotbed of gaming and emulator action many of us wish it was, but the hardware inside your iMac or MacBook is more than capable of running classic coin-op games.

It's not perfect (as you'll discover) but it does work, albeit with little grace and some stop-start action. After an exhaustive look at what's on offer, I've decided that QMC2 is one of the best front ends available (it works for a starter, which is more than can be said for many others I tried). The software we'll be primarily focusing on here is MAMEВ (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator), but the technique works for MESS (Multiple Emulator Super System) and UME (Universal Machine Emulator) too.MAME is software without an interface, so in order to use MAME comfortably in a way that doesn't require you type lines of code into Terminal you'll need to get a front-end. It also provides all 16/18 ROMs and ZN1 and ZN2 videos.This shouldn't come as a surprise to you, but your Mac needs a few extra bits of software in order to play classic arcade games. You can get almost every Neo Geo game in this emulator. The reason is its best interface.
