OpenEmu was designed specifically for OS X with an iTunes-like layout that groups the ROMs of the systems in a unified menu with a card design, as you can see in the image above, organized by each of the game platforms. The emulator also offers full compatibility with saving games, it also allows you to play multiple ROMs at the same time, scaled with OpenGL, a homebrew collection with more than 80 games, gamepad support and much more.
OpenEmu 1.0 was released in December 2013, with support for various 16-bit systems, including Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Gear, NeoGeo Handheld, NES, Sega Genesis, and Super Nintendo. The emulator is also compatible with various controllers, including those for Nintendo, PlayStation as well as those for Xbox and practically any compatible generic USB HID or Bluetooth gamepad.
