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.

I installed OpenEmu and evreything but I couldn't find supported games for PS1 :-( I downloaded a few 7z files, but when I tried to drag them to app they failed. I gave up

  • 7z is an archive format. You have to extract it first. PSX games will usually be an iso, a bin, or bin and cue files.

    • I did get a 7z that I extracted. Then inside there was a bin file and a cue file. Importing any of those failed (the cue file was very small, with references to the bin file, but the names in those references didn't match the bin file, so I dont now if they are corrupted or what)
