The rest of the UI is not so painless though. Well, I did have to hit the PS home button.

I didnвЂ™t need to spend any time at all in RetroArch configuring my PS3 controller, I just plugged it in and that was it. Controller support is automatic: plug and play. The reason this UI makes sense for RetroArch is that it can be entirely game-controller-driven.

The RetroArch default interface is an homage to the Sony PS3 and PSPвЂ™s вЂњcross-media barвЂќ (also known as the XMB) design. Close to 100, although many of those are variations (several choices of GBA emulator, several choices of PS1 emulator, etc.) Compared to OpenEmu, RetroArch supports many moreВ emulator cores. It also allows for far more configurability than OpenEmu, for better or worse. You can run RetroArch on your jailbroken PS Vita, Wii, or even a $35 Raspberry Pi.

RetroArch is the application for the user, and individualВ emulators can be adaptedВ or abstracted away by the LibRetro interface, turning them into вЂњcores.вЂќ This is much the same way that OpenEmu works, but RetroArchВ is portable: it works not only on MacOS, but on Windows and Linux and even smartphones and jailbroken game consoles.

Their goal is to run basically any emulatorВ onВ any machine, using an underlying middlewareВ API they call LibRetro. RetroArch is the relative newcomer on the scene. (Technically we have to call it a front-end, because itвЂ™s just providing a unifiedВ interface to a collection of already-existing emulators). ItвЂ™s a single player (and local multiplayer) multi-system emulatorВ front-end. OpenEmu does not apparently support emulator tweaking (no super-hi-res PS1 emulation or widescreen hacks), nor does it support netplay, or streaming. When you addВ a game to your library, the box art thumbnail just shows up automatically, no further action required on the userвЂ™s behalf.

As many Playstation 1 era games are turning 20 years old now and Sony has abandoned any concept of backwards compatibility, itвЂ™s greatВ to have an easy way to manage an archive of our collections. bin/.cue file pair, you just add them as a pair, and they show up correctly without any trouble. In the past, adding CD-based games to your вЂњlibraryвЂќВ in OpenEmu was hit-or-miss. When you run OpenEmu, all of the systems you see in the list are supported вЂњout of the box.вЂќ ItвЂ™s a mouse-driven UI designed to focus on your ROM collection, organized by system. OpenEmuвЂ™s strength is itsВ MacOS-native interface. Thanks to OpenEmu ( covered here previously), emulation of about 30 consoles вЂњjust works.вЂќ We also now have RetroArch, a competing multi-system emulator that works on far more than just MacOS. You no longer have to вЂњget your hands dirtyвЂќВ toВ emulate a ton of game consoles on MacOS. But the times they do startup fine, they run perfectly with no further unexpected quits during gameplay (just the volume issue).Clearly I have not been updating this blog, but one of the reasons for that is that emulation has become much more user-friendly in the past few years. I've also noticed that those same select games that play at lower volumes are the same that occasionally unexpectedly quit at the startup. I don't know if it's something easy to do, but I don't remember differences in audio levels in the past using macmame.

If not, I think this would be a great thing to implement. Is there an option I'm overlooking (similar to iTunes soundcheck) that will make all games the same level. Is there a sure way to keep these ROMs 'favorited' at startup?ДЄnother question/suggestion I have is I've noticed that some games audio is much much lower than others.

To remedy this in the meantime, I've tried simply 'favoriting' the ROMs I do have, but they won't all stay in the favorite list. One questions I have is whether or not their is an option to consolidate the list to only the ROMs stored in the ROMs folder? First, I'd like to thank you for keeping this going.
