OpenEmu

OpenEmu is an open-source project whose purpose is to bring macOS game emulation into the realm of first-class citizenship. The project leverages modern macOS technologies, such as Cocoa, Metal, Core Animation, and other third-party libraries. One third-party library example is Sparkle, which is used for auto-updating. OpenEmu uses a modular architecture, allowing for game-engine plugins, allowing OpenEmu to support a host of different emulation engines and back ends while retaining the familiar macOS native front end.

Currently, OpenEmu can load the following game engines as plugins:

• Atari 2600 (Stella)
• Atari 5200 (Atari800)
• Atari 7800 (ProSystem)
• Atari Lynx (Mednafen)
• ColecoVision (CrabEmu)
• Famicom Disk System (Nestopia)
• Game Boy / Game Boy Color (Gambatte)
• Game Boy Advance (mGBA)
• GameCube (Dolphin)
• Game Gear (Genesis Plus)
• Intellivision (Bliss)
• NeoGeo Pocket (Mednafen)
• Nintendo (NES) / Famicom (FCEUX, Nestopia)
• Nintendo 64 (Mupen64Plus)
• Nintendo DS (DeSmuME)
• Odyssey² / Videopac+ (O2EM)
• PC-FX (Mednafen)
• SG-1000 (Genesis Plus)
• Sega 32X (picodrive)
• Sega CD / Mega CD (Genesis Plus)
• Sega Genesis / Mega Drive (Genesis Plus)
• Sega Master System (Genesis Plus)
• Sega Saturn (Mednafen)

Required BIOS Files for Cores

Hello,

I am searching for a repository of all BIOS files that are required by the cores. First, I am wondering if it is legal to keep the cores all in one location. My goal is to make it easier for someone like me to add the BIOS files without having to do a lot of digging. For example, I compiled the three BIOS files for Playstation from doing an Internet search. After a few trial and error attempts, I found a blog post that helped me through one of the BIOS files that was not labeled correctly. Once that was fixed then I got a game to launch okay. I am struggling to locate the BIOS for Odyssey. I can't find it online anywhere.

Has anyone gone through this process and obtained all the BIOS files? If so, can I get them from you? Thanks for any assistance. The list of files is here https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/wiki/User-guide:-BIOS-files
