Legally it doesn’t matter - Even if you own the physical cart, you still have to have a legal license to that rom - something I doubt that you have.
As far as I know OpenEmu doesn't come with any BIOS files, as you can see if you open preferences > bios. Drop these on that window.
Yes, I'm using a Horipad Ultimate from the Apple Store. It works well, though you have I manually map it in the current version. Future versions should have it automapped (ie. All button mappings set automatically). But I can send you my config file if you want?
Phew, I just completed all the libraries. I'm a bit disappointed that 30% of them are missing their box art though, and it's way too many for me to individually fill in.

What I started doing was just filling the libraries with the so called top 100 games of each one, you can search the net for top 100 lists. That way you should get most of the best and less art gaps to fill.

I know this is a long shot, but any chance that that (bolded) means that 2 separate games could be running at the same time (like in 2 multitasking windows controlled by 2 separate controllers)? For example, Pacman on the left and Pole Position on the right OF THE SAME SCREEN?
Or, is this more likely saying that because there are save states, one can play one for a while, save, play another, save, switch back to the first and pick up where they left off?
I realize it's very likely the latter, but just asking if anyone is still following this thread. I keep thinking how cool it might be to use one big screen split for 2, 3 or 4, players all able to run different games if they want. Or maybe left half playing one 2-player game and right side playing another 2-player game. If this can't do that, anyone aware of ANY emulator able to do that (even on the Windows side of the pond)?
It's referring to save states.
Seems decent, if one could actually get its to recognize some system BIOS files. No luck getting the Odyssey2 to work, and I've tried multiple BIOS files from various sources. It doesn't recognize the files as a BIOS (but they are, I know), so not sure what this program really wants. No help on their main site.

it won't let me use it.
Anyone else get the following message:
"Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."
Anyone know what i need to do?

Just right-click on the app and "open" (you only have to do this the first time)
I'd change my security setting preference so I don't see that crap every time I install something that isn't approved by Apple.
Many notebook keyboards don't work right with emulators in OS X. I remember two different versions of Mame for OS X where one worked with notebook keyboards and one did not. Plug in a USB keyboard and it will work every time. I'm guessing whomever made whatever emulator wasn't using a notebook and so they didn't notice the issue (I read long ago the technical reason for the issue, but forget what it is offhand. The emulator has to support some library/call that isn't part of the regular USB standard).
A better question is why anyone would want to keep using OS X 10.10 (the worst version of OS X ever made outside of Lion). It got way uglier and 4x slower. Nothing else to see there. Frankly, I'm still wondering why I bothered going to 10.11 when I have yet to see a single game support Metal and the GUI is only faster in the sense that it undid the damage of 10.10 (XBench reports way slower traditional scores).
That's a good point... but it neglects the fact that some people hate all change and love complaining.
Okay Grandpa, back to your rocking chair...
I guess you missed the Austin Powers quote reference entirely....
