Emulators from pre 2600 to the latest stable systems

[squiredogs]

what is the preferred C64 emulator for mac/OSX these days? I'm worried about downloading viruses by randomly searching. It's been years since I unsuccessfully attempted to emulate C64. I've only had luck with Stells/2600 stuff and Mame

Try Emuparadise I have had good luck there, and I have been using my cell phone to download. They have emulators for almost anything you can think of. Otherwise you could look up the post Trevor added one page back. There may be an alternative OS download for Mac users? I have checked out all of the listed emulators with great success, so far though I still have a few to go.

Current List/Preference looks like this:

 

Consoles:

Atari 2600 = Stella

Intellivision = Nostalgia

ColecoVision = blueMSX

Vectrex = MAME

Atari 5200 = kat5200

NES = Nestopia Undead

Atari 7800 = MAME

SMS = Kega Fusion

TurboGrafx-16 = Ootake

Sega Genesis = Kega Fusion

SNES = bsnes 0.85 i686 accuracy via ssnes 0.9.5 x64 [Alt higan]

Atari Jaguar = Virtual Jaguar

Playstation = ePSXe

N64 = Project64

 

Computers:

Apple II (c/e) = AppleWin

Commodore Vic-20 = WinVice [v2.0]

Atari 400/800/XL/XE = Altirra

Tandy/DOS PC = DOSBox SVN Daum 20140127 build

Coleco ADAM = MAME [Alt ADAMEm via DOSBox]

Commodore 64/128 = WinVice [Nightly Builds]

MSX(2) = blueMSX

Atari ST = Hatari

Commodore Amiga = WinUAE

X68000 = WinX68k HighSpeed

 

Handheld:

Game & Watch / Misc = MADrigal Collection

Game Boy (Color) (Advance) = Visualboy Advance [kode54 build]

Game Gear = Kega Fusion

Atari Lynx = Mednafen

Neo Pocket (Color) = NeoPop

 

For Intellivision, Nostalgia is a fine emulator but it has one problem that bothers me. It is stuck in a 5:3 aspect ratio, I'm use to the standard 4:3 aspect ratio that the Intellivision originally used. Consider the jzIntv emulator, it has versions for Linux, Windows, MacOS and other systems, and most importantly it is actively supported by the programmer. It is a command line program, but no need to open a command window, as you can play roms by drag and drop. You can also set up different button mappings for each game. See here for some simple instructions ( https://www.reddit.com/r/intellivision/comments/4a627b/howto_use_jzintv_emulator_without_typing/).

 

edit:

Download software from the original developer/publisher whenever possible.

There is evidently a newer version of blueMSX available via their forums. Unfortunately, editing the list posted earlier is no longer an option.

 

Regardless, download it here.

 

It includes a slew of updates with further enhancements, including - SGM - Super Game Module support for the ColecoVision.

 

Coupled with the added Expansion Module #2 and Super Action Controller support, the prior mentioned MegaCart support, and various video output simulation options, really makes it an outstanding ColecoVision emulator.
