rRootage, Wingnuts, and Maelstrom all run fine though. Bought it in 2000 and it's still my primary computer, but it's not so hot for games anymore. I've got a G3 400Mhz PowerBook with 10.4 on it. I totally forgot about Ambrosia's stuff, great games. remember to change the second number on custom.dat to 1 I'd recommend turning it off and listening to your own, the midi music also makes the game lag.īlue Wish Resurrection Plus - Runs great, no music. ogg files)Ĭho Ren Sha 68K - music glitches, otherwise perfect Patriotdark - runs great, doesnt play music (cant play. I'm using the lowest end intel mac which is the mac mini, though. Here are the games I've gotten to work with it so far. I listed some info on games using it on the linux shmups thread, I'll copy it here. If you have an intel mac, Crossover/Wine can run a lot of shmups great now. It has a PC port too due to large demand, I'd recommend trying it out there is also a large fanbase which is still making plugins and total conversions for the game. Escape Velocity Nova is a great space adventure game and I found the combat to be surprisingly fun once you have a decent ship. I like Ambrosia softwares games too, one of the games I would love to be able to play on OSX was Ferazel's Wand. Garden of Coloured lights has an OSX port and seems like White Butterfly could also be ported easily as both were made using Allegro. Nekocan's site also has a great listing of emulators for osx and also a games page with a STG section and so on. The frontend lists the roms in japanese by default, so go to preferences and appearance options and switch the language to english. apart from a rom listing where it only shows roms you have, I couldnt find that in the frontend at least. _soft.html, it looks great and has pretty much every feature you could want. for some reason audio started bugging for me on the emulator though, making a lot of games only play audio through the other speaker.įor SDLMAME I found the best osx frontend so far to be MAME Launcher by nekocan. I like the ability to use core image/video/audio and their effects in it. MAME OS X is a great mame client but it appears to be discontinued. Check out Area 2048 on osxbin as well, its a great arena shmup.
