GBA EMULATOR FOR MAC OS X YOSEMITE UPDATE

A unique feature of OpenEmu is its ROM library, which allows one to import ROM files and view them in a gallery type setting, similar to iTunes. It also uses modern macOS technologies such as Cocoa and Quartz. OpenEmu features a backend that uses multiple game engines while maintaining the familiar, native macOS frontend UI. OpenEmu GameCube emulation also does not support the 22 multi-disc GameCube titles at present (despite the main Dolphin branch doing so). GameCube Limitations ДЄt present, GameCube emulation doesn't support Save States (due to continual updates breaking compatibility with saved states) users are encouraged to use in-game saves. Users are prompted with a 'This game requires the Sega 32X attachment' error if attempted. Limitations 32X Hybrid Games ДЄs confirmed by the OpenEmu developers on their official subreddit, Sega 32X-CD hybrid games (versions of games that could use a 32X cartridge and Sega CD at once, such as Night Trap, Corpse Killer, and Fahrenheit) are not supported.

This brings OpenEmu's number of supported cores to 31.

OpenEmu 2.2 ( Friday December 27, 2019, 63 days later) added support for a downstream, Metal-forked version of Dolphin's GameCube branch, building on 2.1's foundation. OpenEmu 2.1 ( Friday, October 15, 2019, 675 days after version 2.0.6.1 'coincidentally,' exactly 5 years after the 1.0.4 Stella update) was significant, not for any new cores, but for supporting Metal, Apple's visual API successor to OpenGL and OpenCl, giving OpenEmu significant gains in both performance and battery life. Another midstream update, 2.0.6.1, released Tuesday, (727 days after 2.0) added support for Mednafen's Sega Saturn branch, with a suggested quad-core i7 CPU to emulate. The new cores added several 2nd generation cores, support for optical media-based-image games, additionally emulating systems from Sony, Mattel, Bandai, Magnavox, Milton-Bradley, and Coleco. OpenEmu 2.0 introduced 16 new cores along with hundreds of bug fixes and lesser features. OpenEmu 2.0 began requiring a minimum of OS X El Capitan 10.11, dropping support for Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x) through OS X Yosemite (10.10.x). Introduced on Wednesday, Dec 23, 2015, (exactly two years after 1.0) OpenEmu 2.0 was released.

OpenEmu 1.0 released on Monday, Decemwith 12 'cores' emulating Nintendo, Sega, NEC, and SNK's home, tabletop, and handheld consoles from the 3rd through 7th video game console generations. Weinberg and his friend, Ben Devacel, began searching for more developers to port other emulators to macOS, which led to the name change to OpenEmu in 2009, to better describe the multi-system emulator. OpenEmu was first released on Wednesday, July 4th, 2007 as OpenNestopia, a Cocoa-port written by Josh Weinberg for then Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger of the NES/ Famicom emulator Nestopia (written by Martin Freij).
