SNES Gaming on the 2013 Mac Pro

[CheeseGrater]

I'm using RetroArch here to play some Super Metroid on my 2013 Mac Pro. It's an awesome little gaming machine, and these old Mac Pros are super affordable now.

I'm using the Nintendo Switch Online Super Nintendo Controller here as well. Works perfectly over Bluetooth. The awesome part is that retroArch picked it up as a SNES controller and configured it as such.

OMG that is awesome! I love the setup! The SNES controller really completes the retro gaming style.

I had a 2013 Mac Pro for several years, it was a great computer! I'm now running the Mac Studio.

I think the Mac Studio is my next machine for sure. Hopefully with M4

I want one of those controllers so bad. The Nintendo Switch Online SNES controller is so neat because its a real Nintendo controller. First party! You just can't get that.
