So i believe this would be the correct section to post

After my friend witnessed how much fun I was having on my PC playing old games he asked me to look for emulators for him...on his mac

Finding the emulators was no problem. I located some for N64(sixtyforce) and SNES(SNES9X) but I'm completely Mac illiterate. Therefor, i have no idea how they work and if they even take the same roms(the ones from this website) or do i have to go find a "Mac'ed" Rom site; because i dont feel like wasting my time sitting here downloading games only to find they dont work..


and why do friends have to be soo dumb and buy macs then expect me to do all thier tech support... V_V


EDIT:
So i got the SNES emulator to work...except the keys are mapped to the farthest reaches of the key board and the help/options/key mapping place that it claims to have...isnt reachable with basic macOS gui menus aka i cant get to it

PS if im using bad emulators the info would be great and possibly a link to better ones?

The roms here should work on mac. It's just the emulators that's the problem since programs run differently on macs and pcs. But since you have that taken care of there shouldn't be any more problems.

Awesome. The "support" sites for the emulators didnt really have any useful information so i came here... ill be back if i actually have trouble. maybe make a mac emulator tutorial thread later unless i missed one and im the most unobservant person in the world.
