Arcade & NeoGEO Emulation on Apple Silicon M1 and Intel x86 Macs (MAME)
Today I'm practicing "tutorial voice" in what's bound to be the least popular video I've made. MAME emulation has come a long way on the Mac after being stuck in a holding pattern of using version 0.149 from 2013. This means lots of new games are supported. Here are the two main vectors to get MAME up and running on a Mac today. Also, OpenEMU will play most older consoles (NES, SNES/Super Famicon, Genesis/MegaDrive, Playstation etc)

Since this a tutorial / how-to I tried to play this video a bit more straight than my usual vids going for the boring narration so people can easily follow along. Subtitles manually corrected so they can be more easily read/translated.
Beer consumed:
Wander - Vanilla Emissary (2020)
I loved this beer the first time I had it, and it's pretty much a vanilla bomb that brings out that boozy burn that barrel-aged stouts can have, despite only being 10.1% ABV. The vanilla flavor leads in big and mellows to the nice whiskey barrel base with a bit of brown sugar. It's probably my favorite vanilla bourbon barrel-aged stout. I've had it, not too sweet—no off-steak sauce flavors.
