I'm sure a 1Ghz 4 system could do most of the emulators out there. I've emulated an NES and SNES on 300 Mhz G3 machines and it worked fine. Not sure on the Genesis/Megadrive. Give it a try and find out!
It unfortunately is incompatible with anything below macOS 10.11 I don’t know if earlier versions work with earlier macOS systems, but I haven’t been able to find any information about it. But if you do have at least macOS 10.11, then go for it.
Sort of. You can run MorphOS on a G4 mac mini. I started making a video about it at one point, but couldn't just find enough cool things to show about it.
Wow, just came across this. Would love to see more. I've been interested in emulation for a long time. Too bad more people aren't. You have a great way of explanating things.
That's only partially true. Apple has always made the old OSs available for download. They have not made the ROM images available, though. In my case it is moot since I own the equipment. However, I doubt anyone is likely to get in trouble for copying 30 year old rom images.
Um... installing 9.2.2 can be tricky. there are some guides online for that, somewhere. Haven't personally tried any playstation or gamecube games. I doubt the PPC can handle that.
I love the idea of someone showing of retro games. I´m too young to know most of the 80´s games, but a few Snes/NES or Neo geo games i would really like to see on my mac^^.
I've subscribed to this channel because of this video. And if you decide to start a retro gaming one. I'll be one of your first followers. Keep up the good work
You could take a look at OpenEmu. It might not work on older systems, but it's really easy to use for beginners and has an iPhoto-style interface for retro games.
I'm a Hackintosh user and I use OpenEmu. It's really great. All of the emulators are installed as cores for the main application, making it quite compact. I played Donkey Kong Country on this and it's really good.
Nice video! I have been watching your videos as of late and I think you do a great job. Retro gaming as become an even bigger market this past year or 2 so maybe it’s time to run another test! Good luck!
This is really cool!! You should show us your collection of vintage computers I think it'd be cool and as well for your gaming channel I think you should call it RetrogradeGaming because you're moving backward in the games rather than modern gaming :)
I like this video a lot. I think this is one of the better videos you've done, in fact. This one and the one about fixing the LCD monitor. I've been using emulators for years now. Back in the early 2000's, I almost bought an Apple Wallstreet for 900 dollars, but ended up getting a Powerbook 1400 for a lot less. I also emulated OS 8 with Basilisk II on my Pentium system. Some professors had old Mac programs for data they swore by and I used them on Basilisk. Basilisk and VMac Mini emulators are nice 68k things for the ancient Apple machines. I happen to have copies of most of the emulators you mentioned plus MESS and MAME. Love the Stella the best. "STELLA!!! Can''t ya hear me YELLA???....OH STELLLAAAA!!!" (Old Pitfall II still has a place in my favorite video games of all time. I think it's my favorite for Atari 2600. It was also a cartridge for C64.)
How old games were made is such a mystery to me. I would like to see you crack them open like an egg and explain their guts in a dedicated TH-cam channel.
I like the idea of a classic gaming channel, in a ironic twist it would feel refreshing to see these games play again in more serious way, than being relics of the best
I'm 12 year old, i want to program or fix computera physically and mentally. I wanna program on c64 bur i dont know where to Get one, but luckily to me im going to a place callef teknisk museum its norwegian and means technic museum, its a place They have alot of old tech and im sooo interested in old computers. The best is you Can try the old stuff They Got there for free, i cant Wait :). My dream is to work on Google as either tech support or If i am lucky programmer. Im actually studying computers now, because its my life dream to become a programmer, thats why i watch your videos 8 bit guy, because i learn meanwhile it's fun, interesting and motivating at the same time! I love your videos and if i will Get my job at google, daym i'll do whatever i Can to say thanks. I am not so good at computers but im better than my teachers, lol. I do know alot abou whats inside a computer, i know thats not so impressive but i'm hopefully progressing. Bye :)
Good Idea! The old computers took a lot of programming to have them do anything ,even add 1+1 lol .We had a Commodore Vic 20 growing up and It had a book a mile thick teaching you how to program it. By the way, don't think that being able to take apart and put together a computer isn't important. It's very important too. With skills like that and programming you will go far if you stick to it . It seems like you have a good head on your shoulders so go for it! You will be a success in no time! I have friends looking into where you can find places to get one that live near Norway. If they have any luck I will let you know..Good luck from me also :) It is nice to see someone young interested in something other than cellphones.
My first computer was a Apple II GS I used to teach myself Basic and play Police Quest. Some of my most found memory's of gaming was that game on that old II GS
"I'll see how it goes with the retro gaming thing" and now you have planet x2, planet x3, petscii robots and you created a damn modern 8 bit computer in the commander x16. Safe to say the retro computing idea panned out for your channel
I can't believe no one mentioned M.A.M.E it is a really good emulator. Stands for Multiply Arcade Machine Emulator so it emulates not just a whole lot of games, but the machines too like Atari, Nintendo, Sega and more....All this talk makes me what to break out one of my machines and play some dos games. I would like to see a retro game channel. I will lend my knowledge and help.
I have Windows 3.11 for workgroup with Win32s installed running on DosBox on my Android Tablet.
7 ปีที่แล้ว
I would like to see your new channel! could you also ad games that where available on big game machines where we would add coins to play a game? talking about nostalgia. lol
Why not just use EmuHawk? It's by far the best emulator for consoles! You can play Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64 games flawlessly. You can also play Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, DS, and some others I didn't mention. I would highly recommend it if you have files of Atari 2600 games or w/e you have laying around in your Downloads
I have been trying to install the Versatile Commodore Emulator on my Windows 10 computer and I cannot even get it to work. All it is for me is a folder containing the programs. I try to open them but it gives me an error every time! What do I do?
Maybe you should simply look for their official web site and head toward their support page? TH-cam is definitely not going to be useful as a support forum. ;)
I had do download WinRAR and copy the files in an empty folder to get it to work. I found out from another website. Here's a link to it. www.dosgamers.com/commodore-64/c64-emulator-winvice
I am not sure where you got that download from but you should always use the developers original site for these: vice-emu.sourceforge.net/index.html#download This should work straight out of the box and if it does not here is the doc: vice-emu.sourceforge.net/vice_toc.html But if you got VICE in a .rar file, chances are you got a modified non original version and who knows what malware it might contain...
minute 6. I have a vision. you will start a retro gaming chanel and call it 8bitguy. looking earlier your products i see a big progress. good job. Ill stick around for more content to come. grettings.
Excellent video! Maybe you have covered this somewhere else, but how do you get the programs for, say, the Apple II emulator. I have a stack of 5.25 inch disks and would love to play games and otherwise emulate an Apple II, but I need some way of getting the data to into the emulator.
I would definitely be interested in a retro gaming channel, just if you do go that route, don't go overboard and wear yourself out over it; it's all about fun in the end.
I don't know why but I love retro games. I would love if you would make channel dedicated to retro games. I even notice interest of young people (younger than me) in old games to see how they work, how to create one, and of course play them. And I even would like to suggest name for such channel: Back in Time for Games. And I imagine it to look similar somewhat around logo of Space Quest in full color game and Back to Future movie series. Anyways, I gave you my two quarters. :-)
No I wouldn’t consider those consoles retro just yet though they would have to be at lest twenty years old for them to be considered retro consoles. But hey that is just my opinion
Hey David, you might want to look into RetroArch. It can emulate a whole load of consoles under the one roof! There's also Lakka, the official stand-alone linux distro for RetroArch, much like OpenElec is to XBMC.
Ralph Baer is credited as the father of video games. He created the Odyssey platform in the 1960's. Philips-Magnavox bought and manufactured the Odyssey systems in the mid 1970's that was a home system and not an arcade machine. Atari started just a few years later and also Commodore's 64. My grandparents had an Odyssey from the late 1970's. It was an interesting system to a kid in the mid 1980's. They had a jungle game like Pitfall which (Pitfall) itself had been inspired by Spielberg's "Raiders of the lost Ark", I think. Anyways, I've never seen any emulators of Odyssey systems. I guess they were rare birds. My grandparents had Ping Pong, Tank, BlackJack, Bowling, Race Car game, and few others. Tank lives again on some WII game where you move around and line up shoot. It is much like the old Odyssey 4000.
For emulation, I recommend RetroArch because it can emulate a lot of different systems by using individual emulators within the program itself. This way, if you don't like one "core" as it is called in the program, then you can switch to another one. It also has a lot of compatibility with a variety of devices, so much so that it can even run in JavaScript, so you can put it on a website.
I'm not talking. Also, I just have not a good name to change my account to while still being anonymous. Until I find a good name to change to, this account will stay like this.
My Mac Plus does the same thing. A friend told me it was a flyback transformer issue, but I'm not entirely sure. If you take it to any TV repair place that works on CRTs, they might be able to fix it.
I've been playing Zak Mckracken and Maniac Mansion with VICE however I only get 1/3 of the way into the game and then the game just stops working. It frustrating because I have to start all over again. What am I doing wrong or what setting is wrong?
I used to emulate PS1 games on a 375Mhz PC, Win98 with the emulator called Connectix VGS. It was a really good and easy to use emulator that supported game controllers. I played through Silent Hill with it many-many times.
Hello 8-Bit Guy, I've been wondering what to do about my ole Core 2 Duo MacBook, thanks to your vid 'is it obsolete' It's going to get upgraded ... eventually! Checking-out your channel I saw this piece 'Emulating old consoles on Mac. Aah! Memory-lane, I first started gaming on a Sinclair ZX81, in those days you had-to collect the magazines, type-in the line-code, and write game yourself before you could play it. Do you know or remember Captain Blood for Amstrad's 365 I think-it-was? I never got to finish the game! Come to think of it do you remember Amstrad ... see even Sir Alan Sugar didn't get it right first-time. Thanks for the 'obsolete' vid I found it really helpful!
I use RetroPie for the Raspberry pi 3 model B. It hooks up to the t.v. through HDMI and is easy to install. I use an Xbox 360 controller to play my games, but any usb controller will work. Also it has a composite port for video and audio incase you want to hook it up to an old Box t.v.
So did macs never get a. UltraHLE equivalent or the other early emulators that didn't run a lot of games, but the ones they did were quite fast? There was no lag playing Mario Kart 64 on my 733Mhz Pentium 3. And I'm told there you could play SM64 on like a Pentium 2 and 300Mhz, if not lower.
I'm very recommending for DOS emulation using the "Boxer" app on Macs. It is the Dosbox shell program which makes installation even easier into like real wooden shelf, don't need to use code, it have graphics rendering and even the Roland emulator presence like you have a real one. It is FREE and best.
Hi there i have vice c64 emulator it loads games fine but i can't seem to define the keys for a pad or the keyboard using macbook pro mountain lion 10.8.3 2.3 ghz i7 4gb ram would be great if you could upload a video tutorial or something any way cheers dude keep up the good work
Hi, Great video's. After watching them I also installed a lot of emulators and got the same controller you show in video. But how do you get the controller to work?? It says plug and play on the box but it is far from it.
What is the name of the first game you can see at the beginning of the video with the flying carpet. I played it myself as a kid, and forgot it completly until I saw it now on this vid. Childhood memories. :D
Watching this video now is like time travelling. You went a long way ! Well done
Too bad this didn't go anywhere. Your take on retro games is so much more interesting than a lot of other (junk) TH-cam channels.
Yes! A retro gaming channel!
Pr0 Julian - Unfortunately, this video was not very popular, so I never created the channel.
+The iBookGuy Ah. Ignore my last comment. :)
The iBookGuy Can we somehow get it back?
+The iBookGuy frik

I'm sure a 1Ghz 4 system could do most of the emulators out there. I've emulated an NES and SNES on 300 Mhz G3 machines and it worked fine. Not sure on the Genesis/Megadrive. Give it a try and find out!
OpenEmu is the way to go for Mac as of 2016, it has a collection manager and pulls in all of the cores you need for most old console systems.
I'm with you here. I found OpenEmu in 2014; and, I must say it's the program I've been looking for when it comes to gaming console emulation.
Yes though! I love it! One of my favorite things about it is the control configuration interface!
Does it run on a mac mini 2006? My machine wont open the open emu website and many others so id have to download to phone and move via card reader
I use it as well :D
It unfortunately is incompatible with anything below macOS 10.11
I don’t know if earlier versions work with earlier macOS systems, but I haven’t been able to find any information about it.

I'm so happy! Got a working Macintosh Classic for 5 bucks!

"believe it or not i have a large collection of old computers"
lmfao yea this channel has definitely focused on that aspect
not when the video was made
I've subscribed to this channel because of this video.
And if you decide to start a retro gaming one. I'll be one of your first followers.
Keep up the good work

Never thought there be alot of emulators for Macs, cool stuff. You should totally do a retro game channel.
Nice video! I love the idea of a RetroGaming channel.
A nice new retro channel? *YES PLEASE* that would be awesome buddy....
You might need to replace the entire CRT on the Macintosh.
This is really cool!! You should show us your collection of vintage computers I think it'd be cool and as well for your gaming channel I think you should call it RetrogradeGaming because you're moving backward in the games rather than modern gaming :)

Kripty me too, I thought myself MS basic, Java, and now C++
Lotus 3 Intro: Best Game-Soundtrack ever. Back then, MOD-files were ages ahead of what other computer systems could do...
Couldn't you satisfy everyone if you made a weekly retro gaming segment/video? I know I'd watch! Call it retro gaming sundays or whatever.
Please do create a channel dedicated to retro gaming. It would be amazing to watch these pieces of gaming history running on native hardware
I'm a Mac user and a retrogamer. I think this kind of video is a great idea :)
Yea! I would love to see a retro gaming channel by you!
The retro gaming channel is a must!!
"Another channel for retro gaming"
*Plot twist:* That's what this channel became, and it's called "The 8-Bit Guy"
Thumbs up for Lemmings. An absolute classic!
My first computer was a Apple II GS I used to teach myself Basic and play Police Quest. Some of my most found memory's of gaming was that game on that old II GS
+The 8-Bit Guy What is the bullion coin channel at 7:11?
And this is where it begun!
Please do it!!! Really enjoyed this vid
Great video i used your advice and now I'm playing all my retro games on my MacBook air thanks.
Please do the retro gaming channel David it sounds AWSOME great job on you're videos by the way they are very helpful!!
I would love to see such a channel

It's great stuff, been nothing but a blast from the past 🤓
Lemmings Rocks! The Amiga version was stellar!
Why not just use EmuHawk? It's by far the best emulator for consoles! You can play Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64 games flawlessly. You can also play Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, DS, and some others I didn't mention. I would highly recommend it if you have files of Atari 2600 games or w/e you have laying around in your Downloads
What the fuck? I even checked because i never heard about your crap... It does NOT even exist! So... WTF, man?.!

I am not sure where you got that download from but you should always use the developers original site for these:

But if you got VICE in a .rar file, chances are you got a modified non original version and who knows what malware it might contain...
Ich habe keine Ahnung was du meinst.

So very ice cool and only scratching the surface.

No I wouldn’t consider those consoles retro just yet though they would have to be at lest twenty years old for them to be considered retro consoles. But hey that is just my opinion
Gaming And Technology Variety Channel retro consoles are consoles that are 2 generations or more below the current.
Hey David, you might want to look into RetroArch. It can emulate a whole load of consoles under the one roof! There's also Lakka, the official stand-alone linux distro for RetroArch, much like OpenElec is to XBMC.
Yes a series on emulators would be great!
Ralph Baer is credited as the father of video games. He created the Odyssey platform in the 1960's. Philips-Magnavox bought and manufactured the Odyssey systems in the mid 1970's that was a home system and not an arcade machine. Atari started just a few years later and also Commodore's 64. My grandparents had an Odyssey from the late 1970's. It was an interesting system to a kid in the mid 1980's. They had a jungle game like Pitfall which (Pitfall) itself had been inspired by Spielberg's "Raiders of the lost Ark", I think.
Anyways, I've never seen any emulators of Odyssey systems. I guess they were rare birds. My grandparents had Ping Pong, Tank, BlackJack, Bowling, Race Car game, and few others. Tank lives again on some WII game where you move around and line up shoot. It is much like the old Odyssey 4000.
The odyssey was literally just a light on the screen with different plastic backdrops. You could emulate it with a flashlight and some pens and paper
Nice Blue Snowball in the background. My tech teacher has lots of them
what are the names of the other channels you have? id like to check them out.
I would love a retro game channel
Hey, Absolutely good idea for creating a channel for retro gaming.Even know that was a long time ago.😁
if you are on a mac, use openemu, it's without a doubt the best emulator, it emulates a lot of old consoles
That looks great. I'm gonna check it out. Thanks.
It's like Retroarch for Mac
I am all for a retro gaming channel. Just when you make more please let us know😀
Ja, ich habe vier Jahre Deutsch gelernt in Gymnasium. Aber das var vor 20 Jahre.
For emulation, I recommend RetroArch because it can emulate a lot of different systems by using individual emulators within the program itself. This way, if you don't like one "core" as it is called in the program, then you can switch to another one. It also has a lot of compatibility with a variety of devices, so much so that it can even run in JavaScript, so you can put it on a website.

Yes, that is a good point to bring up as well.
I'm not talking. Also, I just have not a good name to change my account to while still being anonymous. Until I find a good name to change to, this account will stay like this.
People will choose to believe that I chose that name out of being lazy.
My Mac Plus does the same thing. A friend told me it was a flyback transformer issue, but I'm not entirely sure. If you take it to any TV repair place that works on CRTs, they might be able to fix it.
You mentioned a gold and silver investing channel in this video. I'd be interested. Got a link?
I want to run DOS 6.22, Desk Mate from Tandy and TI 99/4A software
What is the name of the game shown at the 1:09 mark? I used to have it on Tandy
Thexder, I think that's what he said.
+Technology Spotlight (Currently Inactive) I couldn't tell if Thexder or Dexter.. I did find it and it is Thexder. I used to have it on my Tandy 1000
Nice! I wasn't born in the 80s so I couldn't experience these games
yes I like your idea. you could talk about the specifications of different games and the tech of the platform. I would totally subscribe to that.
I've been playing Zak Mckracken and Maniac Mansion with VICE however I only get 1/3 of the way into the game and then the game just stops working. It frustrating because I have to start all over again. What am I doing wrong or what setting is wrong?

I think you should give the retro gaming channel another chance. Retro gaming is extremely popular right now.
Would you consider using a Powermac G5 as a File Server if you found one for cheap?
I use RetroPie for the Raspberry pi 3 model B. It hooks up to the t.v. through HDMI and is easy to install. I use an Xbox 360 controller to play my games, but any usb controller will work. Also it has a composite port for video and audio incase you want to hook it up to an old Box t.v.
So did macs never get a. UltraHLE equivalent or the other early emulators that didn't run a lot of games, but the ones they did were quite fast? There was no lag playing Mario Kart 64 on my 733Mhz Pentium 3. And I'm told there you could play SM64 on like a Pentium 2 and 300Mhz, if not lower.
You just brought back my child hood
Retro consoles and computers just rocks.
Today's systems don't have the wow factor anymore like backthen.
I'm very recommending for DOS emulation using the "Boxer" app on Macs. It is the Dosbox shell program which makes installation even easier into like real wooden shelf, don't need to use code, it have graphics rendering and even the Roland emulator presence like you have a real one. It is FREE and best.
I love the idea of retro games, if you do I subscribe. Where I can see the addresses of all your channels on youtube?

Hey, did you ever make the retro gaming channel? If so, what is it?
I wish you would have done a Retro Gaming channel that would have been cool.
Hi, Great video's. After watching them I also installed a lot of emulators and got the same controller you show in video. But how do you get the controller to work?? It says plug and play on the box but it is far from it.
You need the roms for the games
What is the name of the first game you can see at the beginning of the video with the flying carpet. I played it myself as a kid, and forgot it completly until I saw it now on this vid. Childhood memories. :D
The name of the game is Master of the Lamps.
do you have a video on CD system emulators such as PC-Engine/TG-16, PS systems, etc.?
Lemmings! I also like X-wing fighter, Scooters magic castle, 3D Dinosaur, MS Flightsim 95, and several other old games.
