Retro game emulation for macOS.

OpenEmu brings multiple game-emulation engines into one native macOS application. Its modular plugin architecture provides a shared front end for systems including Nintendo, Sega, Atari, PlayStation and handheld consoles, while separate engines handle each platform. The application uses macOS technologies for its interface and rendering; the repository also documents requirements for building it with Xcode.
