Emulators on macOS: Difference between revisions

{{NEL}}

 

: This page is about emulators that run on macOS (previously Mac OS X).

{{for|software that emulates macOS on other hardware|macOS emulators}}

; Operating System - Classic Mac OS | macOS

 

The Mac has had two main operating systems over its history: The "Classic" Mac OS versions 1 through 9, and Mac OS X (Ten, not pronounced as "Ex") which is now referred to simply as macOS. Classic was a closed-source proprietary OS, whereas macOS is based on an open-source Unix variant called Darwin. This Unix base helps with Linux compatibility.

; CPU Architecture - PowerPC | x86 | x64 | ARM64

macOS has supported three major CPU architecture changes: IBM PowerPC (PPC), Intel x86/x64 and most recently Apple Silicon (ARM64). There have also been minor architectural changes such as moving from 32-bit PPC processors to the 64-bit PPC G5, or from Intel's 32-bit x86 to 64-bit x64. Each time there was a hardware transition, Apple provided ways to continue to support older software on the new systems.

Rosetta was a software emulation layer that helped PPC applications to run on x86/x64 Macs. It was built into 10.4.4 Tiger, but was an optional install in macOS 10.6 Snow Leopard and not available at all for 10.7 Lion. Rosetta 2 currently facilitates x64 software to run on ARM Macs. While Rosetta performs very respectably for most software, it adds extra overhead which can reduce performance on demanding games and emulators.

Apple also introduced Universal Binaries that bundle software for different architectures into a single app bundle. For example, Universal 2 app bundles contain x64 and ARM versions of software in one app. This is very useful for portability, or for people who don't know or care about their Mac's specs. If you know what CPU your Mac has, the advantage of getting the specific version for your CPU is that it will have a smaller file size than the universal binary. However the size difference is usually tiny, so just using the universal binary is usually the way to go.

 

 

One issue with this is that a lot of emulators are cross-platform, and Metal is only for Apple's platforms. The Vulkan backend for Windows and Linux is similar to Metal, but does not have support on macOS. So, many emulators will develop a Vulkan backend and use a translation layer, like MoltenVK or KosmicKrisp, which will take Vulkan instructions and convert them into their respective Metal equivalent. However not every Vulkan instruction has a Metal version, so either workarounds have to be designed, or some features cannot be supported at all. There are two Vulkan-to-Metal translation layers: MoltenVK and KosmicKrisp. MoltenVK is older and was originally developed when Macs were still using Intel CPUs. KosmicKrisp is newer, and is targeting ARM chips and Metal 4 which is a closer match to Vulkan. KosmicKrisp is still in early development but has the potential to be superior to MoltenVK, with the drawback of dropping support for Intel Macs.

; Before diving in;

;* Remember that emulators can have different levels of completion or compatibility. If a game you are trying to run does not work properly with a recommended emulator, try a different one. All this means that to find an emulator that works well for your Mac you should understand its specs first. Choose an emulator that supports your CPU architecture natively where possible. The emulators shown here will indicate the processor architecture it supports. Generally you should choose an emulator that supports Metal where available if you are on a modern Mac. MoltenVK should be more performant than OpenGL, although there may be compatibility issues. KosmicKrisp should be more compatible and performant than MoltenVK. OpenGL may work, but some emulators need to use a version newer than OGL 4.1 that macOS doesn't support. In cases like this the emulator will be marked as not having OpenGL support. This list shows the latest versions of the emulator software. If you have an older CPU and the latest version does not support it, some emulators will keep archives of older versions that might, check out their website.

;* See each Wiki Category [[:Category:Consoles|Consoles]], [[:Category:Computers|Computers]] and [[:Category:Arcade|Arcade]] for individual dedicated system pages to see provided up-to-date listings and in-depth information on specific aspects like hardware features, peripheral support, compatibility and also enhancements features etc.

;* Some games have native [[Source ports on macOS]], which can be better than playing through an emulator. Also see [[Game engine recreations and source ports]] page for a list for all platforms.

 

 

=== OpenEmu ===

[[OpenEmu]] is an excellent desktop frontend designed for macOS that provides a clean iTunes-like interface. The systems emulated are listed [https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/wiki#supported-systems here]. It supports shaders that can improve many 2D games, but some advanced features such as upscaling for 3D games are generally not available.

OpenEmu has not been actively developed for several years, and there has never been an official ARM release. However, there is an actively developed fork called [https://github.com/nickybmon/OpenEmu-Silicon/releases/latest OpenEmu-Silicon] that is a Universal Binary and has added several more cores and features such as cloud sync, retro-achievements and alternate cover-art sources.

=== EmulationStation ===

=== RetroArch ===

[[RetroArch]] is fullscreen frontend that supports many cores. It is popular but the UI is poor, it is not user-friendly and many of the cores are not updated.

=== Attract-Mode ===

 

=== Fightcade ===

[[Fightcade]] is a desktop matchmaking frontend for playing many arcade fighting games online with other players. There is currently no ARM build.

=== Ample ===

== Game-specific emulators ==

Some emulators target specific games rather than emulating whole systems, with ScummVM alone supporting over 300 games from various systems and more being added all the time.
