Is There A Way To Play SNES Mouse Games On OpenEmu?

I'm using OpenEmu to play Super Famicom games, and I wanted to play Mario & Wario. The problem is, when I downloaded the ROM, I couldn't play it, since it's a game that NEEDS the SNES mouse to play it. Is there any way to configure the keyboard on a MacBook to emulate the SNES mouse, or do I just have to suck it up and get Mario Paint, the actual SNES mouse, and Mario & Wario off of eBay? I'm asking because while I know that buying the hardware is the best option, for now, using ROMs is the cheapest!

    Don't use a POS emulator is a good start.

    Insulting post with no enlightening info... Good job.

    You do it the same way you did it the first time. Just on a different website that has a good emu, like not that one.



    Happy now?

    Since he can't be helpful, if openemu doesn't support it I wouldn't be surprised if SNES9x Mac did. For Windows it's just an option to click and your mouse becomes the snes mouse.

    Bsnes. Snes9X isn't too good. Neither is ZSNES. It's such a shame such outdated, shitty emus are still commonplace for people to suggest using. Ugh.

    Nevermind. After typing in 'playing Mario and Wario on an emulator' in Google, I found a ROM that had a joypad hack, so I'm using OpenEmu and my PS3 joystick. I use OpenEmu because it saves me the trouble of having NES,SNES,Gameboy,Genesis,Turbo Graphic/PC Engine, GBA, and DS emulators. It's one click, has seperate libraries for each gaem, and if I want to play 2 or 3 player games, I can use the 'add a Wiimote' option. I still need a second PS3 controller, so I can play Little big Planet with my sis-in-law's nephew! Might use the Mario & Wario hack on my Supaboy, if I ever get an SNES flash cart.

    SNES9x is ported to multiple OSs including android as well and mac. I didn't think that bsnes was on mac. If it is I'd suggest it too. I quit paying attention to bsnes when it morphed into that bloated and slow higen.

    It was always bloated and slow, anything written in C++ is usually like that. But I didn't pay much attention after that either, I don't emulate SNES. But still, source code is out. And it runs on Linux, first and foremost. And there's a windows port. So it should support Mac OS right out of the box, being Unix.

    Higan has a performance build, use that if you have a shitty computer.

    Higan also deserves to be called an EMULATOR, unlike some other programs. That's the reason higan accuracy profile need a fast CPU, not because it is written in C++. Truly emulating something takes a SHITLOAD of resources, and it's not something you could just optimize away by switching from C++ to C.

    My computer isn't terrible. Before it morphed over I was using bsnes and it was a solid 60fps. Using identical settings on higan it has problems especially on chipped games. In both cases I was using the accuracy cores too so I just use the last solid build of bsnes instead.

    I personally love BSNES specifically for the accuracy setting. It's a great tool to test whether hacks can play on actual hardware or not (although sometimes it's not foolproof for whatever reason).
