[SigSig]

Wow, that UI is beautiful :O

 

[nkarafo]

Looks like LaunchBox.

Or is the other way around?

 

[CyberPunked]

Soo good

 

[T-0800]

I have it updated but none of the new systems are listed.

 

[Atilac]

....... Mac only?

It's the other way around, but it doesn't really matter

....... Mac only?

Yes, other platforms have other options for something similar.

 

[gingerbeardman]

Make sure you are running 2.0.1, just released as I posted the OP.

 

[Dead_Pixel]

Yes, other platforms have other options for something similar.

Can you provide some examples? As a recent PC convert, I'd love to use an emulation 'wrapper' like OpenEmu.

 

[Aeana]

....... Mac only?

On Windows, you can use RetroArch, or EmulationStation+RetroArch for a better UI.

 

[internetwolf]

my favorite emu app ITS GREAT

 

[Guess Who]

Easily the best emulator solution on OS X. Nothing else comes close.

They're working on Dolphin and Reicast integration, too, so get hype.

 

[HUELEN10]

Maybe this one will actually work for me; prior versions NEVER worked.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

On Windows, you can use RetroArch, or EmulationStation+RetroArch for a better UI.

God Retroarch is such a pain in the ass to get set up. Can't even run PS1/N64 games without the entire thing crashing.

The N64 core is iffy, although N64 emulation in general is iffy. As for PSX, as long as you put the BIOS files in a place it can find, it should run fine.

 

[gingerbeardman]

This is more than a frontend or wrapper. But RetroArch is OK on other platforms, I use it on my N3DS.

As for PSX, as long as you put the BIOS files in a place it can find, it should run fine.

Drop BIOS files on game window to add them.

Gotcha, thanks.

 

[HUELEN10]

How do you dump a legit BIOS for Playstation though? I've yet to figure that out.

 

[T-0800]

I went to the site and downloaded v3 but not seeing any other content.

[ponpo]

Are any consoles new compared to the old Experimental build? I think most of these have been in that build for quite a while but not sure.

 

[HUELEN10]

gingerbeardman, I've never been able to run any game with this. I can't find others who have experienced similar issues. any tips?

 

[Guess Who]

They've polished up a lot from the Experimental build (for instance, you can savestate PSX games now! And there's support for multidisc games!)

Odyssey²/Videopac+ are new for example.

version 2.0.1

Everything else on screen still looks the same. No added consoles.

Try https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/wiki or https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/issues

But let us know here what you're trying and where it's failing.
Start with something easy like a NES/MD/SNES ROM.

Oh cool. N..not like I ever save state!!!

Like literally load up whatever.nes, double-click...

Nothing happens. No black screen, no crash, literally nothing happens. All cores installed and whatnot. What should I submit to have it fixed if technically nothing is happening?

I'm just a user, not a member of the OpenEmu team. But before you file an issue let's try some things. I have PM'd you.

Literally nothing.

 

[jon bones]

dope! i'm a big fan of open emu, shit is so clean

 

[PaulloDEC]

The UI on this thing is drool-worthy.

Not too often do I wish I owned a mac, but seeing this is one of those moments.

 

[Tar-Miriel]

looks lovely, i'll be able to save ps1 games now (it previously ran the ps1 but you couldn't do saves states)
I will have to upgrade to El Captain though which does not make me happy

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Damn very nice. Loved it already!

 

[Tar-Miriel]

Easily the best emulator solution on OS X. Nothing else comes close.

I am now hype. would love pcsx2 integration as well though i heard their are issues with that

 

[The Llama]

I don't really do emulators, but the UI on this is amazing.

 

[Candescence]

The N64 core is iffy, although N64 emulation in general is iffy.

Which is a surprise, considering so many beloved and popular titles are on that system. I've heard pretty much nothing about any advancements in N64 emulation in years (Project 64 seems kinda dead, for example). What happened?

 

[gingerbeardman]

Literally nothing.

Enable Secrets (Debug Mode)
https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/wiki/User-guide:-Preferences:-Secrets

Then see what Console.app says when you double click a game in OpenEmu to launch it.

 

[Emarv]

My favorite emulator got better? Yes!

 

[SURGEdude]

A great solution for Mac users. The UI is where so many similar apps fall down.

 

[WordAssassin]

COLECOVISION FINALLY YEEESSSSSS

 

[Blastoise]

Sucks about the El Cap requirement. Will have to wait a bit.

Hows the PSP emulation?

 

[Elixist]

that is so pretty! i want it for windows! *sobs* *throws hissy fit*

 

[RowdyReverb]

Holy shit, real-time gameplay rewinding? That's such an excellent feature in Rare Replay. I'm glad to see it make its way here

 

[Exentryk]

Been using this since release. Great application with a beautiful UI. Updated to 2.0 just now, so thanks for the thread, OP.

 

[nkarafo]

If you want a decent N64 emulation solution, you won't find any luck with either RetroArch or OpenEmu.

Here's what you need:

Emulator: Project 64 2.2.0.3

GPU Plugins: GlideN64, Glide64 Final, z64gl, along with the default Jabo.

Sound Plugins: Azimer's XA2 Audio 0.70 WIP 4, Azimer's HLE Audio 0.60 WIP 2, Shunyuan's HLE audio, along with the defaulr Jabo.


Pj64 allows you to save different plugins per game. So you have to test which combination works the best for every game. With these plugins i can play my whole collection (50+ games) with minimal problems. And i'm pretty picky, i won't allow even the slightest sound crackling.

With this, even hard to emulate games like World Driver Championship can work, although this one has a few graphics glitches.

In other words, you need to make it work by yourself.

 

[vio]

Can you control any of these, 100% with a controller?
