It's slow as hell, but should be able to access your hard drive and whatnot to load the emulator and games from there, once the OS is up and running. It supports five extra sound chips and an astonishing 143 mappers. Using cycle-exact emulation, it is able to run titles that rely on precise timing, and which therefore break under other emulators.

Nestopia is a Nintendo NES emulator for Mac OS X. So is your problem getting the controller to work with the emulator? Or are you just looking for a better emulator that doesn't need the hassle of this other program you apparently need?ĭo you by chance have an Intel Mac? Or do you have the option of installing a MAC version of Linux alongside your main OS? If you can get Linux running, your emulation potential should be a hell of a lot wider.
That and the lack of good emulators en mass for MAC systems. We don't tend to have knowledge about MAC emulators, as emulation is primarily a PC dominated field.
