Games with specialized controllers can't be played properly, like Ikari Warriors (although turns out there's a hack out there to use a joystick rather than a rotorcontroller). It isn't set up for things like dual stick shooters, that kind of thing. For example, there's no way yet to tailor individual arcade games button/controller layouts. Since the arcade section is a beta build, there's a lot of ways the emulation could be improved. Since I installed it and downloaded the 46GB ROM collection off, I've been sifting through the 28,000 ROM files looking for classics, oddball stuff I remember playing and nobody else cares about, and generally anything playable with my trusty Logitech controller. I have a program called OpenEmu on my Macbook Air - there's two versions available, the standard one with a bunch of solidly emulated game consoles, and then a slightly less stable "experimental" version with a massive amount of "work in progress" emulation cores that also cover arcade machines. Don't forget to find the cover you'll like and drag it over the entry! GOG game shelf images work great for that purpose.I actually don't use MAME, the installation for the Mac is a bit of a nightmare.
Mame openemu archive#
Rename archive to mslug.zipħ) Drag this mslug.zip to OpenEmu and assuming you're on Arcade Library (or show all games) - you'll see new entry titled "Metal Slug - Super Vehicle-001". Select all files in mslug folder, right click and select Compress (number of) items. Copy all files from neogeo folder to mslug folder.

The one I've got had md5 2cd2ed0b076860813c776d1584fc3d84Ħ) Unpack both neogeo.zip and mslug.zip. Don't forget to enable Arcade library in Preferences > Library > Available Libraries:ĥ) Now the tricky part - you'll need to find the correct neogeo.zip BIOS for MAME 0.149, unfortunately the one supplied in the package doesn't work.
Mame openemu install#
To do so, launch OpenEmu go to Preferences > Cores and install MAME (it'll be 0.149.1). ~/Downloads)Ĥ) (Skip if already done so) In OpenEmu make sure you have MAME core installed. zip with the ROM for the game (another one I've tried was Blazing Star - blazstar.zip).

If you downloaded goodie you'll have Metal Slug.zip in ~/Downloads - unpack to get Metal Slug.app, either way make sure you have the application packageģ) Right click this package and select "Show Package Contents", then navigate to Contents > Resources and copy mslug.zip - or other.
Mame openemu manual#
Manual downloads from GOG.com work as wellĢ) After step 1 you'll end up with Metal Slug.app in the folder you've installed it to (/Applications in my case). Don't use Install in this case as it'll obviously fail, instead select BACKUPS & GOODIES and download macOS archive manually If the game doesn't have macOS support make sure you're not filtering to macOS only (LIBRARY > ALL MY GAMES). In Galaxy go to the library, if the game has official macOS support - just install it I was trying to play recently released SNK games in OpenEmu - perhaps this quick guide will help somebody as well:ġ) Install or Download SNK game - I'll use Metal Slug as an example:
