      I 2nd OpenEmu. It's great on a Mac. If you get the experimental version you also have MAME support. Don't remember what MAME set that is though.

      Never mind, I didn't realize when I saved the python script it saved additional embedded formatting. I just had to download a straight text editor and it is working fine. Thank you.

      emulation choices are really lacking on OS X

      What's wrong with OpenEmu? it's just about the best emulator i've used for any computer/laptop based platform and it's Mac exclusive. RetroPie is by far the best for TV and arcades, but running it on a macbook via virtual machine seems like alot of extra work without much benefit over the more obvious choice.

      OpenEmu is ok but I like the frontend interface of EmulationStation far better, just my personal preference. OpenEmu, like EmulationStation/RetroArch, is just a frontend for all the cores. ES gives me some great options for other things like Ports, DosBox included in the menus, etc. This may in fact sound crazy, but when I'm playing any kind of console emulation system, I want everything from the frontend on down to FEEL like I'm using a console, rather than feel like I'm using a Mac, or a Linux box, or whatever. ES does such a great job of being just that, for a moment my disbelief is suspended, it feels so genuine and natural. No other little OS X X's and Minimize/Maximize buttons and other little UI elements that distract my suspension of disbelief. Plus the whole way ES handles game descriptions and the like, it's exactly what I like, no complaints here, it does what I want, just the way I want it.
