I use an OLD ipac that works with old macs and the apache controls push pull spinner. The monitor is a Gateway VX910, the brightest I have ever used and is a perfect fit in old vector cabinets. This all runs on macmame 0.56 on native os 9.2 on a G4 450 with some old graphics card I can't recall. I completely rebuilt the control panel so that the spinner is in the middle and added two buttons on the left side so that Tempest and Major Havoc can be played. It's a dedicated Star Trek cabinet I completely rebuilt, bondo'd and painted. I just finished up my 'vectormame' cabinet. I hear it runs great with iCades.ДЇunny thing. MAME4All is the app if you do want to jailbreak. Regarding iPhones and iPads, you have to jailbreak to get true MAME going on them (unless you lucked out in the iMAME sweepstakes recently). There are a few others, and you should experiment around to find the ones you like. Hopefully he'll pick it up again one of these years. Don't think it's been updated since, when I emailed the dev last year he said (nicely) that he didn't have time to debug the SDLMAME section. I tried MAME Library a while back and liked it, but it didn't play well with SDLMAME.

MAME+GUI (aka M+GUI) is probably the most versatile Mac front end, and the one I use when I want to dig deep into the recesses of MAME (I have a much more limited ROM set for EmuLaunch, only a couple hundred games). Not my favorite for various reasons, but I can see why people like it. MAMETunes is a neat frontend, simulates the iTunes interface. Takes a little tweaking to set up (make sure you select SDLMAME as your emulation engine), but worth the effort, even though it's technically a dead app. Not exactly 'unpack the installer and drop in your Applications folder' as far as setting it up, but you don't need a degree in computer science, either.Д®muLaunch is the simplest and most usable in a cab environment, since it's explicitly joystick-selection-friendly. SDLMAME works great (assuming you settle on a front end), is up to date, and has a ton of nice features. I'm told it doesn't play well with Lion, but then again, Lion sucks. But it was a very nice project while still around. MAMEOSX is also dead, and also has quirks, mostly related to recognizing multiple USB controllers (I still can't get it to recognize the spinner on my CP, for instance). Since MacMAME predates Intel code, it won't work at all under Lion, unfortunately. The OS9 version is still a great emulator for classic games, particularly vector games. Still usable, but it has quirks, and it's obviously long out of date in terms of MAME versions, so a lot of MAME features aren't available (i.e., overlays and backgrounds, many video controls, etc.). MacMAME is indeed dead, which is a shame, as it had the most Mac-like and intuitive front end.

I've had an OS X (Hackintosh) cab up and running for the better part of a year now, and used a Mac Mini at my TV for MAME-ing for over a year before that.

Every emulator has both decent gamepad AND keyboard (read iPac) support (Most PC emu's have crappy Keyboard settings), perfect scaling/overlay/syncing options for video (all banister apps share the same settings/options for this).Д¬onclusion: the Mac experience is not very up to date (playstation 2/wii emulating anyone?), but it is best in ease of use on any platform. They are sometimes a little behind compared to compatibility and speed of PC version, but Mr Banister (the guy who ported more emulators to mac than anyone else) is king of GUI for emulators:Д¬ompared to PC emulators, the mac counterparts are heaven in usability terms. SDL Mess is very good up to date and includes the latest MAME developments.

They only skip many versions, so 0.124 is the most recent. Mame OSX is a Intel/PPC modern Mame implemention. Shame he did not receive enough donations to consider the project worthy to debug and add U360 support and stuff like that.

You should find, however, that Dolphin works great without any tweaks.It's so easy, it makes me sick of Windows FE's and crying that the guy stopped the project You can setup a controller under the Controllers tab, while the Config and Graphics tabs will give you access to settings.

Click the Open buttonВ and select a backup. When it reloads, youвЂ™re ready to start playing your GameCube and Wii games. Dolphin needs Input Monitoring access for keyboard and controller input.

Click the checkmark next to Dolphin to give it Input Monitoring access.

Click the padlock at the bottom of the window, then enter your MacвЂ™s login password.

Click the Privacy tab, then click Input Monitoring.

You will also need to give Dolphin access to Input Monitoring. Click the вЂњOpen AnywayвЂќ button to start Dolphin.

Under General, click the Open Anyway button.
