(As an aside, if you have any spare official Nintendo controllers for any system that are in good condition and perfect working order, I’d be very interested in obtaining them. Cheap knock-offs don’t go through anything like the Q&A of Nintendo’s official pads, and you’ll also almost certainly have to replace them much sooner. If you do decide to use a third-party replica pad (or perhaps even a modern USB pad), exercise caution and see how your wrists are handling it. You’ll find the NES controller’s D-pad to be firm and quite springy, and the SNES to be softer and feel more settled.īoth will give you many years of retro gaming pleasure. Precision is also important, and the original pads won’t let you down. They can all be used with your Mac without modification, using cheap USB adapters which I’ll talk about shortly. I’ve consistently found that the original official controllers are by far the most pleasant to play with. Nintendo spends a great deal of time designing and testing their input devices, and they build products to last. RSI and wrist injury are a very real possibility, particularly if you’re not ten years old anymore. Most older systems used a D-pad as the primary directional input device, and not all D-pads are created equal. Here’s my advice: choose your pad very carefully. On joypads All emulators can be played using the keyboard and/or mouse, or any generic USB gamepad. Every previous Nintendo system has an emulator available for OS X, and they all run just fine on 10.8 Mountain Lion. It can be much more convenient to play those older games on the ultra-sharp, vivid screen of your Mac instead. Having said all that, most of us probably have several gadgets (including current-generation games consoles) hooked up to our televisions, and may not have suitable ports or connections to keep old systems plugged in too. It’s easy to buy huge packs of second-hand console games on ebay, often with the actual systems included, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money.

The only reason that we have games to play is because people pay for them - so please don’t download ROMs of games that you don’t actually own. Downloading games that you don’t own is definitely illegal, of course, and it hurts the content providers. If you’re like me, you probably already have many or all of these systems in your basement or attic, waiting to be used again. Second-hand consoles are readily available to buy, and you should seriously consider grabbing them for fun and nostalgia. Notes on emulation Emulation of videogames consoles is legally questionable at best. With today’s powerful Mac (and PC) hardware, we can rediscover all of our favourite vintage Nintendo games via emulation - and you can even use the original controllers, if you have them.

I’ve not been without a Nintendo console in decades now, and I’m an enormous fan of the Zelda, Mario and Metroid series (and F-Zero, and Animal Crossing, and Starfox, and so on).

Given that that it is essentially a PC (the Celeron for the CPU), wouldn't code that uses the CPU run at native speed on any intel based system?įor me, Nintendo has always been the gold standard in gaming. Speaking of emulating anything past the PS1/N64, is there an Xbox emulator out there.

It almost runs at full speed on my 2011 Mac Mini.
N64 games on the Mac devices including MacBook Air, Pro, Mac Mini, iMac etc. MegaN64 is one of the more popular Nintendo 64 emulators.
