Ok first off, my laptop has died out for a number of reasons. So I shall be taking the HDD out and using it as an external one. I have a new computer to transfer the files over. It's my mom's MAC. Anyways, my questions are:
1) When transfering over my roms for say SNES games. If I have the same emulator on the MAC that I did for Windows, IE SNES9X or whatever. Would I be able to transfer over my saves, and have them work properly?
2) Does anyone know of a good PSX emulator for MAC OS X or better if possible.
Thanks in advance!

Why did you even bother posting?
Don't respond to this, just don't post like this ever again.

The saves are saved in the same folder as the roms. So if you still have that folder, you will still have the saves.
-
Ok, usually emulators I use have "Battery save"and "Save State" folders, but i think some have been saved in the same folder as the game. I just wasnt sure that even though its the same emulator from the same company. since they are on a different OS, would the file extentions be recognized. And I dont get a case for the HDD until Wednesday at least. So I wont be able to find out until at least then.

I'm sorry. Its just that, instead of asking, he could have tried it to see if it actually works or not. Just copied over the saves and tried to load it would have yielded results. His question was basically:
Would I be able to transfer over my saves, and have them work properly?
By, "Don't respond to this", did you mean me? If so I'm sorry! :sweat:
EDIT:
I didnt know he couldnt try this till Wednesday, it wasnt in the OP, or I wouldnt have said it.

Rofl, who the fuck else would it have been to?
Seriously your post didn't do ANYTHING, it didn't help, it's like you didn't even post at all except you did.
Let's try this again: Don't respond to this, and don't make useless non-posts in the future.

Your best bet for a PSX Emulator would be ePSXe, I can't remember if there is one for a Mac, but google searching isn't too hard... I had too... but for a starter try zophar.net (lol olllllllllllld place.) Its a place to start, I don't think they'll have emulator stuff though... oh well. :P
But google is your best friend. But finding the BIOS I recommend somethin' like Bitlord/Bit Torrent.

I possibly should have mentioned this before, but I've tried Zophar, it does have PSX emulators but they wont open, they just unexpectedly quit. ePSXe is a pretty good emulator but I find it takes up too much processing power. I found another one that worked just as well but didn't require as much resources. I'll let you know what it is once I get the HDD out and working.
-
I think the PSX emulator I found for the Mac was called PCSX, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't remember if I ever even used it in the end though, so I can't tell you if it's good or not.
-
There's a lot of memory card conversion utilities online, but I'm not certain if it extends to Macs.
Mac has a version of Virtual Game Station that won't look very pretty, but should be able to run most psx games.
Or, if you got a fast enough Mac, you can just run windows emulation and solve both your problems.
