Download  Boycott Advance 0.4.1
Boycott Advance can run the majority of existing Gameboy Advance software to some degree. High quality sound emulation is supported, with many games sounding as good, if not better, than they do on the real hardware. Having said that, Boycott Advance is not a substitute for the real hardware. If you want to play Gameboy Advance games, then buy a real Gameboy Advance. A number of hardware devices exist for backing up original Gameboy Advance titles for use on Boycott Advance. These include the Flash Advance Linker and the XGFlash.
Download  BSNES 0.6.9
BSNES has a somewhat different purpose to most emulators; it focuses on accuracy over performance. To that end, it does not include any game specific hacks, or idle-loop skipping optimizations commonly found in other emulators. To add to the fun, it uses a cycle accurate hardware emulation. The net result of all this is the highest system requirements of any software I've released to date; those without a G5 class machine need not apply. If you meet the requirements, however, this is the most accurate SNES emulation available on the Macintosh platform.
Download  DeSmuME 0.9.11
Nintendo DS Emulator.
Download  Dolphin 5.0

Download  Frodo 4.4.1
Frodo is a robust Commodore 64 Emulator for the Macintosh. Frodo was developed to reproduce the graphics of games and demos with higher precision than the existing C64 emulators. To that end, Frodo can display raster effects correctly that only result in a flickering mess with other emulators. In addition to the precise VIC emulation, Frodo features a processor-level 1541 emulation that is able to handle about 50% of all fast loaders. There is also a faster 1541 emulation for four drives containing .D64, .X64, .T64, or .LYNX files. Sound (SID) emulation is also provided.
Download  Genesis Plus 1.3.2
Genesis Plus is a Sega Genesis/Megadrive emulator for Mac OS X. Genesis Plus features very accurate emulation of the original Sega Genesis, even to the point that some software which has problems on the real hardware exhibits the same behaviour under emulation. This emulation comes with accurate sound support, saved states, and saved game support.
Download  Jum52 1.1.1
Atari 5200 Emulator Jum52 supports reasonable compatibility with Atari 5200 titles. At the present collision detection is a bit hit and miss (no pun intended) but otherwise the emulator is solid enough. High quality sound emulation is provided.

Download  Nestopia 1.4.2
Nestopia is a Nintendo NES emulator for Mac OS X. Nestopia is by far the most compatible of any NES emulator for Mac OS X. Using cycle-exact emulation, it is able to run titles that rely on precise timing, and which therefore break under other emulators. It supports five extra sound chips and an astonishing 143 mappers. This accurate emulation comes at a cost; Nestopia requires an 800MHz machine for full speed; but if you have one, this is the best available NES emulation for Mac.
Download  OpenEmu 2.2.1
Retro video game emulation for macOS. For the first time, the 'It just works' philosophy now extends to open source video game emulation on the Mac.

Download  ScummVM 2.1
ScummVM is not an emulator. ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed! ScummVM lets you run these adventures: Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system. SCUMM is used for many games, including Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. Compatibility with supported games is continually improving, so check back often. Among the systems on which you can play those games are Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, PSP, PS2, SymbianOS/EPOC and many more...

Download Download Download Tutorial - Running MAME on Mac OS X by Bamf2048  SheepShaver 2.5 (2019-09-08)
SheepShaver is an Open Source PowerPC MacOS run-time environment. That is, it enables you to run PowerPC Classic MacOS software on your computer, even if you are using a different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a PowerMacintosh ROM image to use this program. SheepShaver is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). If you are using a PowerPC-based system, applications will run at native speeds (i.e. without any emulation involved). On other systems, SheepShaver provides the first PowerPC G4 emulator, though without MMU, to enable the execution of MacOS Classic. Performance with the current CPU emulator using basic just-in-time (JIT) translation techniques is roughly 1/8-th of native speeds. Features - SheepShaver runs MacOS 7.5.2 thru MacOS 9.0.4 - PowerPC G4 emulation on non-PowerPC platforms, direct execution otherwise - Basic but portable JIT engine (x86, x86_64, mips) - Copy and paste of text between MacOS and the host OS - File exchange with the host OS via a Unix icon on the Mac desktop - Color video display with support for run-time resolution switching - Run-time depth switching from 1 bpp to current host depth settings - Native QuickDraw 2D acceleration for BitBlt and FillRect operations - CD-quality stereo sound output - Networking: SheepShaver supports Internet and LAN networking via Ethernet and PPP with all Open Transport compatible MacOS applications
Download  SMS Plus 1.3.4
SMS Plus is a Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear emulator for Mac OS X. The hardware for the Sega Master System and Game Gear consoles is almost identical from a technical standpoint, which means that when you emulate one, it is trivial to emulate the other. SMS Plus features accurate emulation of both systems, with full sound support. Just like most of the other emulators on this site, it can use GZ compressed ROMs transparently.
Download  sixtyforce 2.0b1
sixtyforce is an emulator that runs Nintendo 64 games. It does this by dynamically translating the code that a Nintendo 64 uses into something your Mac understands.

Download  Stella 6.0.2
The Atari 2600 Video Computer System (VCS), introduced in 1977, was the most popular home video game system of the early 1980's. Now you can enjoy all of your favorite Atari 2600 games on your PC thanks to Stella! Stella is a multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Stella was originally developed for Linux by Bradford W. Mott, however, since its original release several people have joined the development team to port Stella to other operating systems such as AcornOS, AmigaOS, DOS, FreeBSD, IRIX, Linux, OS/2, MacOS, Unix, and Windows. The development team is working hard to perfect the emulator and we hope you enjoy our effort.

VICE is a program that runs on a Unix, MS-DOS, Win32, OS/2, BeOS, QNX 4.x, QNX 6.x, Amiga, Syllable or Mac OS X machine and executes programs intended for the old 8-bit computers. The current version emulates the C64, the C64DTV, the C128, the VIC20, practically all PET models, the PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610/C510). An extra emulator is provided for C64 expanded with the CMD SuperCPU.
Download  VirtualC64 3.3.2
VirtualC64 emulates a Commodore 64 personal computer on your Macintosh. I started the project in 2006 to create a virtual CPU environment that can be used as a demonstrator program in a first or second year of computer technology. Over the years I have added more and more features and the accuracy of the emulation has steadily increased. Despite one or two compatibility gaps, VirtualC64 is now able to run a large number of C64 programs without errors.
Download  Virtual ][ 9.2
Virtual ][ is a program that emulates the vintage Apple ][ computer on your Macintosh. Key features: Emulates the Apple ][, ][+ and //e Supports USB game pad or joystick Save a machine and resume later on Full-screen mode Epson FX-80 emulation Realistic soundeffects Virtual ][ lets you play all the old Apple games, because it supports all graphics modes, lets you control the game paddles with a USB game pad or mouse and emulates the internal speaker. When you want to temporarily interrupt gameplay, Virtual ][ allows you to save the entire virtual machine, and continue later on from where you left off. But Virtual ][ also supports more "serious" software, because it emulates many peripheral devices: floppy disk, hard disk, mouse, matrix printer, even cassette tape! It is also able to emulate the Z80A processor, allowing you to run the CP/M operatng system.
