In that folder you need to place the 7800.rom file. The MacMESS User Data folder in the documents folder needs to contain a ROMS/A7800 folder. The biggest difference between MESS on he MAC and Windows is that the settings for mess are placed in a folder in the home documents folder of the user who installs it. The contents of the disk image need to be placed in a folder on your hard drive, but the settings go elsewhere. MESS emulates many systems and is a little complicated to get set up. I tried Gates Of Zendocon with the keys and it worked perfectly. I was able to get most games to run, but there is no Joystick support w/o the addition of a Shareware program (available at the above link) that adds stick support to about 20 other MAC emulators also. Handy requires that you copy the contents of the disc image to a folder and then find and place the linxboot.img in that folder. LYNX emulation is handled by the great HANDY emulator. I tried NARC and it worked and sounded just like the Disc I have in the attic вЂ“ unfortunately, not very well, but that is the game, not the emulation. I will keep researching to see if this is possible though. I Have yet to be able to figure out a method to get the game pad to work, but you can easily use the Arrows and. Choose a TOS image from the FILE menu, and Disk Image from the DISK menu and finally HARD RESET from the FILE menu. Just copy the unzipped NoSTalgia folder to a drive, copy some TOS images to the main NoSTalgia folder and double click the NoSTalgia application. Steem doesnвЂ™t exist in the Mac world, so I was excited to find great emulator called NoSTalgia. You can also set the keyboard to control one or both sticks and the mouse to control one of the paddles. In the preferences tab you can choose to use a game pad for control. I tried out the classic Blue Max and it ran flawlessly. When you have completed this task, you just need to double-click on the Atari800MacX file to get started.

It was another easy install вЂ“ just mount the image and copy the contents to you hard drive вЂ“ complicated only by the need to find and place system roms in the OSRoms folder. The Atari800MacX emulator was every bit as good or better than its Windows counterpart. I tried out Ms Pac-Man and it worked perfectly. I used my Playstation 2 controller plugged into a USB converter and it worked like a charm! has most of the Atari roms (save Activision and a few others) for you to try out.

You can set the mouse to control any of the 4 paddles (so Super Breakout is a definite possibility).

As a standard, the arrow keys control in the 4 directions, and the key is the fire button.

Then, just double-click on the StellaOSX program, then find a rom file on your drive to load in.

Just download the disk image, mount it and copied the contents to a folder on your hard drive. The best Atari 2600 emulator I could find was StellaOSX. In most cases they were as easy or easier to use than their Windows counterparts. I was reasonably surprised by the high quality and user friendliness of the MAC emulation community products. In any case I have purchased multiple disk/rom copies of most if not all of these games I play via emulation (I even have Atari ST disc copies in my attic), and using one main computer to play all of my old games is really the most convenient, space conscious way for me to play. Also, I assume that by purchasing all of the compilation disks for various platforms I have some sort of legal leg to stand on if and when I play version in another medium (emulation). Given the nebulous legal nature of emulation, I can not advocate playing any games that have not been released into the public domain. So far, I have found ways to play Atari 2600, Atari 400/800/5200, Atari 7800, Atari Lynx, Atari ST and Atari arcade games on the MAC via emulation.

I own a copy of EVERY retro game compilation for the PC and Playstation 2, and use these games as inspiration for new games that I create.

I have recently switched from Windows XP to MAC OS X 10.5 and one of the things I feared upon switching was losing the capability to play all of my old Emulated games.
