Yes, you heard it. If you're going to get triggered because I said "opinion", leave immediately.
If you're still here, let's have a discussion!
So, recently, I tried OpenEmu for MacOS Sierra, and I think it is probably the most intuitive, powerful emulator out there.
I am in no way a Windows users, but I don't find it a bad OS. But, if I were ever to use a Windows machine, I would be forced to use another emulator. And, besides Mac, I also run various Linux machines, so running it on those is out of the question. And I do like RetroArch, but it's WAYYYYY to buggy, and crashes alot.
Instead of having to find out a way to build this for other systems (of which I don't think there is a method at the moment), I would like to simply and easily change platforms.
Is there such thing as a Wine that runs Mac applications?
And if not, there is a reason why I refuse to use other emulators. Not brand loyalty, but because of save data.
You see, OpenEmu uses its own proprietary type of save file. And while I do believe it keeps Battery Saves (.sav files), I don't think there is a way of controlling when they are saved. I would rather not wait 10 minutes doing absolutely nothing for a save to occur.
So, I guess the only solutions are to start over, try to convert the .oesavestate file, or run a Mac VM. All of these solutions take a serious amount of time.
And I'm not a emulation guru, so correct me for any mistakes I made.
