For example, the Game & Watch handheld roms do not work in OpenEmu. compiling MAME with the SUBTARGET=arcade option. It seems to me that OpenEmu uses an arcade-only version of MAME, i.e. For each Core, there is a separate Github subrepo. These plugins seem to point to /Username/Library/Application Support/OpenEmu/Cores. Look into the Package Contents of the OpenEmu App, and you will find the different Systems in the PlugIns folder. OpenEmu smartly rethinks the concept of Retroarch: Each emulator is bundled into a Core, and these Cores are built upon the popular emulators that are out there. Read further for my in-depth review of OpenEmu (this review is reduced to the MAME core, wile OpenEmu's potential obviously go far beyond MAME emulation): no Artwork), but all in all, for the casual arcade gamer, this software is just brilliant. In my review, I will also elaborate on the current deficits (e.g. I wanted to write this teaser very fast because OpenEmu now has reached a state where it becomes a top option for MAME in MacOS.

Shader options are also very convenient. It is by far the most convenient way of applying shaders for MAME games. Shaders built in, can be changed in the game on the fly.A more objective testing than playing games you know does not seem to be available. While there is nothing documented about this, so far all games work flawlessly. OpenEmu claims to have developed a Metal backend for better performance in MacOS. Up to date - current MAME Core is 0.217 (note: the MAME Core only comes with the "Experimental" version of OpenEmu!).
