If you’re a nostalgic old-school gamer and you haven’t yet found a satisfactory emulator for your Mac, prepare to pick up your jaw off the floor in 3... 2... 1...
“OpenEmu is about to change the world of video game emulation, one console at a time,” reads an enticing announcement over at openemu.org.
A multi-console emulator, OpenEmu is preparing to leave beta and launch as a finalized product on Mac OS X really soon. The app is nothing short of mind boggling when you consider the possibilities.
As the screenshots show (gallery below) it comes with an iTunes-like interface for storing and organizing your ROMs into specific folders that act like virtual machines / consoles.
It runs games that originally launched on Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Gear, NeoGeo Pocket, Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
Support for PlayStation, N64 and NDS is coming in a future update.
Best of all, you’ll also get full support for various controllers so you can play Castlevania, Contra, and every Mario game ever released on SNES just like you did in the ‘90s.
Just play it safe when it comes to fetching those ROMs from the web. As hardcore gamers should know, you actually need to own the games (on cartridge, compact disc, etc.) before you go downloading them, in order to avoid piracy.

I've written in the past about emulation and OpenEmu, a multi-console emulator front end that uses multiple emulation cores to provide a unified experience to macOS (OS X) emulation.
OpenEmu also sports MAME Arcade emulation support, but its a bit tucked away.
Step 1: Download OpenEmu Experimental
Go to openemu.org and click the swatch and download OpenEmu Experimental, and install it.
This scfeenshot of the OpenEMU site is old. The design on the OpenEMU website has slightly modified to make the experimental version easier to find
Step 2: Install the MAME core
Once installed, launch OpenEmu, open preferences, and select cores. Click the install button next to MAME.

Step 3: Install games
Games can be nabbed from the usual suspects like emuparadise (defunct), the legality of this is fairly grey. OpenEmu only supports zipped ROMs, so if the ROM comes in a .gz or .rar, be sure to decompress its contents and rezip it. Name it the exact name as before (but with the new extension of zip). OpenEmu's MAME core is version 0.149.1, so its significantly behind the windows version (from 2013 to be exact). Some sites will list the earliest known support needed for the rom in question.
Notably, you'll want access to the dipswitches, hitting F2 repeatedly while the game is launching will take you to most ROM bios screens that enable modes like free play. Note, I had issues resuming games and had to force quit MAME resuming so you may want to hold off resuming games.
Optional: NeoGeo Emulation
Emulating NeoGeo games requires one extra step, you'll need to get the NeoGeo ROM, the one I used is from emuparadise which is now defunct, try a popular search engine and search 'Neo Geo BIOS'. Drag the Neo Geo zip into OpenEmu. You'll see the NeoGeo ROM in your game list, but ignore it and double-click the games as you normally would.
Good luck with OpenEmu. I suggest checking out the Dolphin Emulator as it has a great macOS port for GameCube and Wii, and PCSX2 for Windows for Playstation 2 emulation. Both are able to play old games in HD and UHD depending on your CPU/GPU.
