Ps3 Emulator Macbook Pro

[Raguel Charrette]

I am having the same problem w/ an M1 2020 Macbook Air, OS 11.7 Big Sur. I reinstalled the emulator and aistarter is running and listening on port 8004, but it goes for infinite time saying 'this might take a minute or two.' I tried it on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Same result. Is there something else I can try? Is there a log file I can look at? Is there an uninstaller? Thanks.

I posted this as a reply to an old post (though to the newest one I could find on emulator problems) and am not sure how / if / that it is visible. I have checked and tried everything suggested in the responses (though many of the old issues seem to be with the PC version). At one point, the emulator worked on my Mac (though I haven't tried to use it since during remote teaching and learning). I appreciate any help you can offer.

Since you're on a M1 Mac, you'll need to follow another approach. Our emulator package only works for Intel Macs at the moment, but it's built on top of the Android Studio emulator package. You'll need to do the following:

At first I believed that in Xcode, when I went to run my app, was running an emulator, but I was mistaken. I guess it's a simulator. The difference is they have different compatibilities, so if you take an .ipa (iOS app) file and install it onto the Simulator, the app will crash.

There is a recently announced service Corellium that offers virtualised cloud instances of iOS. It's not publicly available yet though and no word of how much it will cost. I'm not aware of any way of running them on your desktop though other than the Xcode simulator.

It is the kind of thing I imagine Apple would have been quick to clamp down on in the past although there is lots of talk about the two app stores converging in the near future so who knows what will happen.

Apple is attempting to slowly destroy Corellium. The user daeken on Twitter has been developing an emulator for iOS simulator on macOS that they have stated they are close to releasing (May 2020) though, but will be a commercial product. They appear to have put in a huge amount of work and have demonstrated a number of apps working on it.

Hi guys.

Once upon a time (well, it was 2015) I was stuck with the flu and only a MacBook laptop, and unable to test Mecha-9 and other games sent to me because the available emulators just don't handle VDP nuisances, Megacart, and even less Super Game Module.

So I ported my private emulator with support for Megacart and Super Game Module. It has a pretty simple user interface but it works like a charm on my Mac, and you can play any game from the original ones till Pac-Man Collection

Later it has been greatly improved, and I've included some of my games that have been released freely, and also some games contributed graciously by Team Pixelboy. The package includes binaries for Mac OS X, Linux, Windows, and Raspberry Pi 3 (this one in the _all marked ZIPs), and also the usage instructions.

For people having Retroarch running on Mac OS X, or Pi 4 running Retropie, I've uploaded an alpha version containing a .dylib file (for Mac OS X), and a .so file (for Pi 4). It is really amazing being able to use the CRT filters and the rewind feature. Because of my lack of knowledge about Retroarch, it handles the keypad like in FreeIntv, pressing one of the action buttons to make a tiny keypad appear, selecting the key you want, and then using another action button to enter that key.

Edit: Jan/17/2022 uploaded a alpha version for Retroarch, compiled only for Mac OS X and Pi 4. For Retroarch is enough to add the dylib to the cores, for Retropie are included instructions on how to install it. Also because of my lack of knowledge about Retroarch, it handles the keypad like FreeIntv where you select keys by using a tiny keypad.

Edit: Jun/13/2020 v0.6.7, now support for random number generation on games like Word Feud (using RAND_GEN from Coleco BIOS). Paused windows doesn't show trash if minimized/maximized or something passes over. Pause shows a message. Added Mecha-9 to the game collection included. Now finally includes libsdl to avoid installing it.

Oscar, I want to reach through the internet and hug you right now! I've been using Mugrat for so long and it's supporting less and less now that Richard hasn't updated it in years. I got everything installed, testing an SGM cart and it worked instantly!

I'm having the darnedest time trying to get it to work. Veteran Mac OS X user, very fluent with terminal/command line. I'm getting either "No cartridge found" or "No Coleco BIOS ROM found" even though I have a) Many carts in ROM format in a specific directory and b) The Coleco BIOS in the same folder, called "coleco.rom". I'm running Yosemite 10.10.4.

Okay, got it to work. Thanks for taking the time to help me out nanochess! Once I actually navigated to the directory, everything worked. I'm sure it just needed to know where the parent directory was in order to work properly.

Also, as kind of a Terminal newbie, what would the command line be if I have my roms in a different directory. For example, right now they are just in a folder called "roms" inside the coolcv folder. The way I'm testing it, I'm just moving the rom into the same folder as the executable, but I figured there has to be a way to call the roms from another directory, too, right?

I've made this an integrated app. Now download it, open it, then drag&drop your ROM file over the icon appearing in task bar (bottom of screen). In fact you can put the app in the Launchpad for running it easily

The software that makes emulation possible is legal, hence the list of projects linked below. But an emulator without any ROMs is as useful as a console without any games to play. You should be aware that downloading ROMs from the internet for games you do not own is illegal.

The beauty of RetroArch is that all of your emulation can take place within a single app, from a single interface. You can download cores within the app, point RetroArch at the folders that contain your ROM files, and even rely on the controller configurations (or remap them as you please). As cores are updated, you can update everything automatically from within the app.

RetroArch is a good choice for old and new systems. It often includes multiple cores for platforms so that you can choose which you prefer. Support ranges from old Atari systems to the PlayStation, Dreamcast, and Nintendo 64, plus MAME releases and individual arcade boards. There are even some source ports included for games like Doom and Quake II.

OpenEmu is an emulation platform that works in the same way as RetroArch. Everything lives under one roof, with separate emulation cores used to play games from a large variety of systems. Unfortunately, the project has fallen by the wayside in recent years and as such is only available as an Intel-based binary (but one that runs just fine through Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Mac models).

As a result, OpenEmu might not be as performant where it counts as RetroArch. This might not be such a problem, though, since the platform mostly focuses on older platforms anyway. Handhelds like the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS make up the most modern supported platforms, with the original PlayStation being the most modern home console.

You might prefer OpenEmu to RetroArch for its UI, which feels a lot more like a Mac app than RetroArch does. OpenEmu was designed with a mouse in mind, with ROMs separated by system and displayed in a tiled interface. Adding ROMs is a simple case of dragging and dropping into the app, and you can rate your collection, take screenshots, and use save states too.

Networking works, but at present only works for local system link games. You can pump up the rendering resolution for greater fidelity. Some games, like Jet Set Radio Future, look surprisingly sharp thanks to the art style (but textures will look a little soft and flat).

Make sure you read through the various setup guides to understand what you need to do to improve performance, play games over the internet via netplay, and set up various accessories, like sensor bars, for the full experience. In addition to Wii and GameCube titles, Dolphin also supports WiiWare games that were downloadable via the Shop Channel.

DOSBox-X makes the emulator even more powerful and convenient by adding support for 3dfx Voodoo graphics card emulation, Glide rendering, printing, networking, and more. You can create configuration files and launch them to quickly configure DOSBox-X for specific tasks.

I'm having trouble running the Android SDK on both of my Macs running OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard. This appears to be a 64-bit vs. 32-bit issue, as Snow Leopard now defaults to 64-bit everything, including the Java virtual machine.

I found this webpage with instructions on how to get the Android tools to run in the 32-bit Java VM, and I am now able to run the Android GUI tool to download SDK files, create AVM's, etc. However, when I try the Hello World tutorial and get to the point where I run my application under the Android emulator, everything goes south.
