When people ask about running "RetroPie" on something other than a Pi, what they really mean is the graphical front end which lets you launch games. What RetroPie does is bundle all the emus together, runs a customized EmuStation which makes everything FEEL like a single program. Or that OS X can run the SAME "MAME" emulator which is the core of RetroPie? RetroPie is a collection of packages: mainly existing open source emulators (which DO run on Mac). I'm guessing you're not aware that a mid-2014 MacBook will be 100's of times faster than the Raspberry Pi3?

If you're going to assert it is "silly" to want to install the RetroPie applications on a Mac, please back up your assertion with a few facts.This tutorial is a step by step guide to. Which is the same base OS that Ubuntu Linux is based off. This will allow you to do some experiments and test Raspbian, directly from your computer (on Windows, Linux, or Mac). RetroPie's OS is based off Debian Linux.RetroPie isn't an OS - it's a collection of user application that runs on Linux.Your answer is wrong on every point (sorry). It would seem to require a bit of effort to get to even run on another Linux. and to answer my question with what I know, so far, you can't.
Why? Because any desktop or laptop is going to run emulators faster than any Pi. Start the OnWorks Linux online or Windows online emulator or MACOS online emulator from this website.

There's LOTS of Pi software that can run on Ubuntu, and lots that can run on OS X (via Homebrew distribution for OSX,, for example). Upload this application in such filemanager. It's a small mental leap then to asking "How could I run RetroPie on a Ubuntu x86 computer", and then another small jump to "How could I run under OS X?". Isn't it reasonable that people on other platforms would want the same convenience? Setting up MOST emulators is painful, but RetroPie makes everything easy. Put it this way: You know that RetroPie source code could be compiled for another CPU, right? Just like any Linux software could. The poster's question is perfectly understandable to me, and I came here via Google looking for the same answers. I'm really not sure why everyone is confused.
