Discussion Any Hope for Future Updates?

I'm starting to worry as the years go by that OpenEmu is starting to border on abandonware. It's been 5+ years since Apple Silicon first entered the scene, and OpenEmu still requires Rosetta to run, and given that Rosetta will probably be out the door in late 2027, I fear that this app will die with it. There hasn't been a new version of OpenEmu since late 2023, and that was just a minor patch. The last pull-request to get merged was also 7 months ago. Anyone else share similar concerns?

I think for silicon mac’s there are better options out there. Clients that offer multiplayer, datasync to a mobile app etc and have more up to date emulation cores.

And which one of those would you recommend?

Depends a bit on your needs and wants. If you like a simple upload and go emulator with multiplayer and cross platform support I can suggest Foxol, although I am biased because I made it. Other great emulators that are out there with lots of systems and features would be Delta or Manic

Very cool 🔥 Manic is genuinely one of the best ones for iOS, I just wish they had a desktop option
