  1. Virtual Boy Emulator Mac Games
  2. Gameboy Emulator

In my last post about OpenEmu I mentioned the 'experimental' build that adds support for many more systems than the official release of the program. Over the weekend I tried out the experimental version's Playstation 1 emulation. Miro video converter mac. Wow, it's actually better than PCSX-Reloaded!

Will os x yosemite slow my mac. The official release version of OpenEmu supports:

Boy
  • Game Boy Advance
  • Game Boy Color
  • NeoGeo Pocket Color
  • Nintendo (NES)/Famicom
  • Nintendo DS
  • Sega 32X
  • Sega Game Gear
  • Sega Genesis/Mega Drive
  • Sega Master System
  • Super Nintendo (SNES)
  • TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine
  • Virtual Boy

The experimental build version adds support for:

Virtual Boy Emulator Mac Games

  • Atari 2600
  • Atari 5200
  • Atari 7800
  • Atari Lynx
  • ColecoVision
  • Commodore 64
  • Famicom Disk System
  • MAME
  • Nintendo 64
  • PC-FX
  • PlayStation
  • PSP
  • Sega CD
  • Sega Saturn
  • SG-1000
  • TurboGrafx-CD/PC Engine CD
  • Vectrex
  • WonderSwan

I tested out PlayStation support, and ran into a few obstacles before getting things to work.

  1. The UI does nothing to explain how to provide the PlayStation BIOS file. Searching around, I learned that you add the BIOS file(s) by dragging and dropping the *.bin files (BIOS ROM images) like you would a game ROM. But, after I found a set of BIOS ROM images online, adding them this way still didn't work. It turns out the filenames were also important, and that I had to rename the files I had to be the expected filenames:
    scph5500.bin (JP) (sha1 sum: b05def971d8ec59f346f2d9ac21fb742e3eb6917) …matched what I had in the download pack I found.
    scph5501.bin (NA) (sha1 sum: 0555c6fae8906f3f09baf5988f00e55f88e9f30b) … for me, this file was SCPH7003.BIN, and had to be renamed.
    scph5502.bin (EU) (sha1 sum: f6bc2d1f5eb6593de7d089c425ac681d6fffd3f0) … for me, this file was SCPH5552.bin, and had to be renamed.
    After renaming these BIOS images, it was possible to drag them into OpenEmu and have them be recognized as PS1 BIOS ROM image files. The UI doesn't make it clear that it has done anything with the files, but the lack of warning is your indicator that they have been accepted.
  2. OpenEmu's 'emulator core' for PS1 emulation is Mednafen, and this emulator requires all games be provided in cuesheet format. I had only ISO images, so I had to re-rip a game in cuesheet format in order to successfully add it to my OpenEmu game library.

Visual Boy Advance


Visual Boy Advance has long since become Open Source. This spawned several variants so we will try to list as many as we can here.

Gameboy Emulation

Visual Boy Advance can just like a real Gameboy Advance also play original Gameboy (Color) games.So there is no need to get a separate emulator. Because of this the author has stopped development of his 'normal' Gameboy emulator Visual Boy.

System Requirements

As with most emulators for Windows you may need to install the latest version of Microsoft DirectX.
