Hi all,

I am fiddling with my trusty eMac and I wanted to turn it into a retrogaming machine if needed.

I have quite a long list emulators from Bannister that are quite nice but I was wondering if I could use Retroarch or Mednafen.
I downloaded 1.7.5 with cores and 1.8.8 from Mac Garden but the first one crashes as soon as I open a content (and if I open a core stops responding after showing an empty folder) and the second one just crashes on start.

So I tried compiling those but...
Hell was ahead.
Dependencies, brew, fink, macports...

A lot of pain and zero joy.

Does anyone know more about the topic or has the compiled and working versions for those emulators?

Thanks :)
