OpenEmu BIOS System Files

This post is for MAC/OSX users who emulate gaming consoles. OpenEmu is a great console emulator for OSX and it’s the one I use to play retro game ROMs. Some games, require a BIOS file or System File that the ROM may look for if it were in being played on actual hardware. Instead of searching the internet for these BIO System Files individually, we all them ALL in one handy, neat, little download. To install tyhe BIOS System Files, just open the ZIP file and drag the BIOS files as a group into the main Library window of OpenEmu. OpenEmu will detect these as BIOS System files and install them as such. Enjoy! DOWNLOAD OpenEmu BIOS System Files
