God damn do I love playstation 1. I just dug up my old PS4 controller, installed OpenEmu on my Mac, and started on Silent Hill 1.

I used OpenEmu way back in the day, it was the best emulator experience I'd ever had. Glad to see it is actively supported and as good as ever.

Wait, is that easy? I have a Mac, and a old PS4 controller.

    Like the other dude said you need a bios. OpenEmu will tell you exactly what files it needs and ask you to drag and drop them into the app window, you'll easily find them on GitHub.

    Other than that, it has all the emulators you'll ever need built-in, and controller pairing/config is super easy. For a PS4 controller, you just hold down the PS button and share button until the light starts flickering to put it in pairing mode, then bring up the bluetooth menu on your Mac to connect. The whole process is super quick and painless.

    The interface looks so good too. Add roms and you get a nice little UI with all the box art for each game automagically.

    I implore you to set aside a few minutes and give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
