This interesting modular project is an Open Source emulator for classic consoles like Sega’s Master System, Nintendo’s Virtual Boy and other consoles. The software emulates classic computer consoles to provide an environment to run all those classics in gaming history. Also to study the evolution of 30 years of technology in computer games, this emulator promises to support the vast majority of nostalgic computer consoles. Nintendo Gameboy, Super NES and Sega classics brought to you back to life by Openemu 1.0 software emulation app.
The Openemu gaming console emulator project is ready to use for Mac OS X exclusively at the moment. Included are several modular Open Source projects by community members from different development teams. Based on individual cores running in together in a clustered system, single cores can be activated and deactivated. The project history involved community feedback and experimental developments from other Open Source projects. One of the current project is Nintendo 64 console as well as Nintendo DS as a gaming handheld console.
Good news for Nintendo gaming fans as nearly all consoles of the Japanese mother company Nintendo which was so popular for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Super NES later, before the whole Nintendo 64 and 3D graphics started to flood the gaming consoles.
Openemu Supports Neo Geo Pocket and PC Engine
For worldwide users in U.S. and Europe, the emulator software also provides NEC’s Turbografx 16 and SNK’s Neo Geo Pocket which never made its way out of Japan that time back in gaming history.
Emulator Configuration
While testing the version 1.0 of Openemu, the configuration is really simple. Users select the available console hardware and start games via drag and drop into the emulator app. All graphical configuration and monitor adjustments for RGB color schemes are automatically set by the Openemu emulator software.
The emulator project has been release in Version 1.0 and we hope it will be available also to Windows users soon. Expects further community features and development improvements for this project as it evolves to a great software app for emulating classic gaming consoles on Mac (and Windows soon).
Openemu is available on the project homepage openemu.org and can be downloaded together with 15 homebrew games for different console types.
