Then delete the original OpenEmu folder ( ~/Library/Application Support/OpenEmu ), which should now be empty. Next, move the content of ~/Library/Application Support/OpenEmu/ to the folder you created above. In this example, I made the folder in ~/Dropbox/Games/. If you have Dropbox and OpenEmu on multiple computers, you can use the service to sync your save states across devices.įirst, make a folder in your Dropbox called OpenEmu (case-sensitive). On the Mac, OpenEmu saves these saved-game files to a folder in ~/Library/Application Support/OpenEmu/Save States/. In this case, you will put the save state folder into your Dropbox and then make a symlink in the original location. This trick uses a symbolic link, similar to how you can un-clutter your Dropbox. You could even save your game while you are in the middle of a jump and the next time you loaded the game up, it would start right there.
It will save your game in the exact spot you decide (not just at a checkpoint in the game). A long-time feature of emulators is the “save state,” which acts like a long-term Pause button. OpenEmu is one of the best ways to play your favorite retro games.
