After trying out all the so called top n64 emulators for the mac, (sixtyforce) I was never able to play Goldeneye with 100% compatibility like I could do on Windows with Project64. That is until now. When I discovered Mupen64plus I was surprised to know that Goldeneye emulated flawlessly along with many other games. Some games that I could never get to work on PJ64 on windows ran on Mupen64plus without a problem.
1. Download the latest mupen64plus bundle for the mac at http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/downloads/list The link that reads mupen64plus-bundle-osx-X.XX.X.zip is the one.
2. Extract the files into your Applications folder or elsewhere. There are two folders , if you are using a 64bit version of OSX (Snow Leopard) double click on x86_64 if not double click on the x86_32 folder.
3. Drag your game roms into this folder.
Using Terminal to Navigate to the Folder
4. Use terminal and cd to the folder you were working in.
5. Type ./run_glide.sh nameofrom.z64 (you must be in the x86_64 or 32 folder we were working in). The emulator will start. You can also use the arach and rice plugins by typing ./run_rice.sh or ./run_arach instead of ./run_glide. Switch plugins if you are seeing emulation problems with a game. Some games work better with different plugins.
6. Game should start running. Controls below
I think there was a front end somewhere... but really we should all learn to use the terminal
