  • Open Emu Updated

    OpenEmuIconToday we released the second beta of Open Emu, a multi-emulator front-end and set of Quartz Composer plugins for Mac OS X.  The app provides a friendly Mac interface for six emulator cores (and more coming) and the plugins allow “soft circuit bending” similar to the work of No Carrier and noteNdo.  This new version brings a ground-up rewrite of Open Emu’s modular architecture, a refined user interface, several new emulator cores (GBA, Genesis and SNES), and the first public release of the Quartz Composer plugins.   Other features include GPU-accelerated scaling filters, multiple game windows open at once, state-saving, and advanced custom preferences per core.  Go get it at openemu.sf.net.  Let us know how you like it and please do send us video, screenshots, bug reports, and tag your stuff on other sites with “openemu” so we can find it.

    I’ve changed the samples on the Atari 2600 sample playback mode, so that there are now a total of 16 samples. I am currently looking at adding more. Are there any requests for specific samples?
