It's slow as hell, but should be able to access your hard drive and whatnot to load the emulator and games from there, once the OS is up and running. I wouldn't buy a Mac just for emulation though. Better off looking for compatibility and finding a front-end you want then anything else. Windows has the most oddball emulators out there though. If you're hestitant about installing Linux, you can look for a Live CD distro that works on MACs too. Windows, Linux, and OS X all have great emulators now.

So is your problem getting the controller to work with the emulator? Or are you just looking for a better emulator that doesn't need the hassle of this other program you apparently need?ĭo you by chance have an Intel Mac? Or do you have the option of installing a MAC version of Linux alongside your main OS? If you can get Linux running, your emulation potential should be a hell of a lot wider. That and the lack of good emulators en mass for MAC systems. We don't tend to have knowledge about MAC emulators, as emulation is primarily a PC dominated field.
