Nestopia is great, but having to purchase the emulation enhancer via the shareware agreement is the major deal-breaker for me. Are there any other freeware NES emulators that can actually use the controller?

I have a wireless XBOX 360 controller and a USB reciever, which works great with my SNES Emu. Is my controller compatible with Nestopia?

I used to have this running great on my old mac but the emulator enhancer, I don’t remember how to install it :/

I miss full screen and controller use.

I’m trying to run it on my Macbook Pro, but the keyboard won’t work. I’ve tried configuring it in a bunch of different ways, but I can’t seem to get anything to work out.

i have recently downloaded this emulator. However, when i choose to run it, it does not properly appear on my screen. It opens the open file menu. Do i have to download a file unzipping software program or something like that? thank you.

I usually get mine from http://www.coolrom.com/roms/nes/ but if you just do a google search for NES roms, they should all work

So I love the set up and bought one of the controllers from Retrozone but can’t get it to set up right. I downloaded the emulator it says you need to configure the gamepad but don’t know what to do with it. It is a “.bundle” application and my Mac doesn’t know what to do with that. Any advice? How do I open and install that?

Is there a full screen NES emulator for OS X? Running it in a 300×200 window is pretty lame.

It worked fine for a few days, but now the program quits two seconds after launching a ROM (for anything you try). No support is offered for the application, so I’m rather dissapointed.

Awesome Jerry. Sounds like a cool setup. $34 bucks for a retro controller that’ll run on my mac. I’ve gotta get one.

Jerry, that is a kick ass setup! I totally want to do that now.

Hey Guys – get an original NES, SNES, Genesis controller modified with USB connector here: http://retrousb.com/ – works natively in OS X without drivers. I’ve gotten 2 NES and 2 SNES controllers from them so far. We have a Mac mini connected to our living room TV with all of the consoles and RemoteBuddy installed to launch any game with the Apple remote

too bad I’m too young to have nastalgia of this, though really wish my iBook could handle running sixtyforce (N64 emulator) now that would bring back memories of banjo-kazooie, super mario 64, mario kart 64, etc.

Um, where did you find a working copy of SMB 3? :/

By: Andre

Andre — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 19:45:52 +0000

I’ve still got a working NES, two controllers, all my games and even the gun. It would still be pretty cool to be able to play SMB3 on my Mac though, as my SMB3 cart wore out.

Yeah I got a cheesy USB joystick that looks like a PS2 pad for $10 that works the charm.

If your into playing roms on your PC, you simply have to get a usb to whatever controller device. Being able to play with the original controller, really kicks the nostalgia factor another notch.

BAM!

Really worth the small investment if you ask me.
