Go with non-merged for the best chance of getting them running.

It works great for most games, but you need to compile your own binary to get sample support for games like Zaxxon, and you cant get access to the DIP switch settings for games, or advanced configurations.

Its just a double-clickable application that will launch MAME.

I found this after Id been running MAME from the command line for a while (if you want to do it this way, the easiest is to open a Terminal window, drag the mame64 icon to it, and press enter).

Remember to setup Input Options (General) or per game, to make sure you can use your chosen controller.

If youre saying the latest version of MAME doesnt work Im not sure I can help you, as I dont have any involvement in it.

Ive followed all the steps described here, and I get a fatal error when I try to run MAME in Terminal.

Failing that, navigate to your mame.ini file and change the video setting to OpenGL if it currently says BGFX.

No, I havent. I only moved the unzipped MAME folder to Applications, as instructed.

Then opening a Terminal window and dragging mame64 to it, pressing enter and I get a brief black screen as if emulater is opening and quicly shuts down giving me the error notice in the Terminal window.

Error opening translation file English Unable to open effect file bgfxeffectsguiopaque.json Unable to open effect file bgfxeffectsguiblend.json Unable to open effect file bgfxeffectsguimultiply.json Unable to open effect file bgfxeffectsguiadd.json Unable to open effect file bgfxeffectsscreenopaque.json Unable to open effect file bgfxeffectsscreenblend.json Unable to open effect file bgfxeffectsscreenmultiply.json Unable to open effect file bgfxeffectsscreenadd.json Ignoring MAME exception: BGFX: Unable to load required shaders.

Is this where I could change the setting if necessary It seems to be default to OpenGL where it says at the bottom Default is soft on Linux or opengl on macOS.

No, I havent moved the MAME, apart from moving the unzipped folder to Applications as instructed, so everything is there with the MAME folder.

I drag the mame64 to a Terminal window, press enter, the screen goes black as if the emulator is opening, then quickly turns back to the Terminal window with this message.

Delete mame.ini from there.

The first thing you said to enter gave me no such file or directory.

Initially, after unzipping the mame folder and copying it to Applications, it was called mame0221-64bit.

So I changed that to simply mame yet still no such file or directory upon entering cd LibraryApplication Supportmame (as indeed, I cannot find any mame folder in Application Support).

Then running.mame64 -createconfig suddenly showed the mame.ini file in the mame folder in Applications, and before deleting it as you suggested, I tried to run mame64 first by now dragging it to the Terminal window and TADA upon Entering it fully opened up (so even without deleting mame.ini).

On version 0222 the createconfig command puts the files in your home folder.

After editing OSD video to opengl (line 251 in mame.ini), all working fine for me now.

And when you say youve used ROMs with a previous emulator, do you mean a different version of MAME on the Mac, or something like FB Alpha.

Have a look in Applicationsmamectrlr and see if theres anything there that looks like it references the PS4.

Otherwise it may be possible to create one if you know what the inputs map to.

Youre definitely choosing to map your controls in the general inputs, not per game.
