OpenEmu version 2.0 needs OS X 10.11 or higher. OpenEmu 2.0 has a redesigned user interface (UI), which is modern looking and beautiful. OpenEmu suggests that version 2 brings real-time gameplay rewinding.
The latest OpenEmu 2.0 can organize screenshots and save states. The new version of OpenEmu adds 80 homebrew games and automap support for Stratus XL and SteelSeries Nimbus controllers.
The latest version of the open source multi-system game emulator is also optimized for input handling and eliminates latency. It has also fixed a number of performance issues and other bugs.
OpenEmu also revealed that previous Sega Genesis/Mega Drive save states have been removed because of unresolvable incompatibilities with the emulator.
