Create Digital Motion � Open Emu: Free Game Emulation on Mac, Quartz Composer - Even VJ with Games

I'm kind of over glitch art nowdays (I was obsessed with it back in the mid 90's when I was making questionable NES and satellite glitch oddities like Binary Cancer Tacos) but this is pretty cool and potentially useful. It might be pretty neat to get a game of some NES goodie like a boy and his blob going inside a vdmx VJ set.

Fans of vintage games with Macs, take note. Open Emu makes emulation of classic game systems a “first-class citizen” on the Mac. But if it were just a game emulator, well, it wouldn’t be news. What makes it news is that at its core, Open Emu is an open source platform and modular architecture into which your favorite game systems can be added as plug-ins. And thanks to that architecture, you can treat your favorite game systems as though they’re modules in a grand, 8-bit modular visual synth, crunching their textures into geometry, adding real-time effects, and controlling the whole thing with multiple controllers, audio, and MIDI.
