How To : Download and Use OpenEmu [ALL Video Game System Emulator for Mac] FREE!

I am sure a lot of you gamers out there probably have been wanting a free, and easy to use, emulator to play all your favorite games, such as Pokemon, The Legend Of Zelda, Super Smash Bros, etc. But the problem is you are not able to find the correct way to do it, and what’s worse is that you are on Macintosh, so it is much harder! However, you are in luck, because I will be showing you how to download and use OpenEmu, an emulator that has ALL popular systems loaded on it, and how to get it for FREE! Be warned, this emulator is only for Mac and you cannot use it for Windows, though I might do another tutorial on that. But anyways, let’s get started, and hopefully you will have OpenEmu loaded and working by the end of this tutorial!

Step 1: The first step is to download the app. It is for Mac, and you can download the roms for this emulator from this site too. I will go more in-depth of roms in another tutorial, but basically it is the game that you want to play, like Pokemon FireRed. You are going to scroll down and hit the “Download Now” button. Beware, there are going to be ads that ask you to download now also, but the OpenEmu downloader is a green arrow going into a disk:

Step 2: Now, right after you open the file, it will ask you to install it. You will have to let it install, but when you come across ads be sure to deny them so you can get rid of the threat of AdWare on your computer! Anyways, after you install it you will get an icon showing the OpenEmu logo, and the Applications folder. You want to drag it into your Applications folder, and it will copy there. If you want to, you could also drag it to your dock or desktop for easy access to your game.

Step 3: Now that you have downloaded it, you have to open it. It will ask you to insert a rom, and you can get those from the  CoolRom website I showed you earlier. Now you are able to play! Just import the rom and select the console it uses! You can save or pause the game with buttons on the bottom, and even record a Let’s Play if you want!

That is how you can play games on an emulator for the Mac called OpenEmu. If this tutorial helped you in any way, be sure to leave a LIKE.

SkyDrive vs Google Drive | Which Cloud Storage is Better?

The long, unanswered questions that many writers and presenters often ask: Should I use SkyDrive, or Google Drive? Which one is better? Well, now I am going to answer your questions, going over the pros and cons of both cloud storages, and let you decide which one is better, as well as my own opinion on the matter. We will be going over some key points such as space, tools, features, and education/other uses in order to decide which is the BEST cloud storage!

Storage:

In storage, both of them have a decent amount of space, yet there is quite a significant difference when you REALLY look at it. Google Drive comes in at top with 17 GB, while SkyDrive tries to rival at with 7 GB. Obviously, it looks like that’s Google Drive: 1, SkyDrive: 0.

Tools:

For tools, I am going to have to have to mark SkyDrive as number 1. Why? Well, even though Google Drive may have some decent-okay tools, such as Google Docs and Google Spreadsheet, SkyDrive on the other hand has one of the best-selling and really professional products such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel! It also has a built in Skype with a long set of other tools useful in everyday life. That is going to make SkyDrive the best in this category, and that is going to make them both even-steven in this race for the best cloud storage

Features:

Google Drive and SkyDrive both have some pretty nice features to get you going and get you in FAST! Google Drive has ALSO just released what they called “New Google Drive”, and SkyDrive has just changed their name to “OneDrive”. However, it is more known by SkyDrive as in the making of this article. Anyways, both are equipped with a search bar to help you find documents easier, except that Google Drive has the ability to view documents more quicker with the fact that it supports almost ANY file type, and you can store almost anything. Whereas SkyDrive takes a bit longer because it supports mostly only file types of its own kind, not really any other small kinds of files. So that is going to put Google Drive in the lead! For now..

Education/Other Uses:

Google Drive has recently came out with two new features, Google Classroom and Google Apps for Education. Both have been HIGHLY recommended by teachers and been recognized constantly, because they let you push documents to your students without all that sharing nonsense, and gives you 30 GB space for all the school work you ever need to put in! In other uses, however, SkyDrive is going to be better quality and more suitable for business and personal reasons because of its online Skype as well as the added tools to make amazing looking documents and presentations.

The Winner!:

Who won? It is for you to decide! Both have their pros and cons. But in my personal opinion, I am in favor of Google Drive. However, this is for you to decide! If you really want a good one, use both! That is already 24 GB of free online space, and many tools and features for you to choose from! Best of all, its free! If their is anything I missed out in, be sure to tell me in the comments! And leave a LIKE if this helped you out as well!

How To : Download and Use Adobe Photoshop CS6 FOR FREE! [Mac Version]

We all have our reasons to want to photo-edit. Maybe you are professional, and willing to pay the $50 per month for this fantastic editor. Or maybe you are like me, editing just for fun and other personal reasons. Well, in this tutorial, I will be showing you how to get Adobe Photoshop CS6, for free! However, this is for Mac and not for windows, but I will show you how to do it in Windows as well, maybe in another blog tutorial. Before I get into things, you probably want to know what Adobe Photoshop CS6 is? Let us run-through it, just to give you a basis of understanding if you do not know already. In a nutshell, Adobe Photoshop CS6 is a fast, fun, and professional photo-editing tool used by many people for their editing needs. It is one of the best and has a HUGE variety of tools and features to make your photo look amazing. Many people in the BIG BUSINESS departments use Photoshop as well because it is one of the best. Of course, nobody wants to pay $50 a month for this wonderful tool, so I will be showing you how to get it for free!

Step 1: Download the Creative Cloud Installer from this link below, you will have to make an account if you haven’t already, so be prepared for that. Go in and click the Free Trial button, located next to the Buy Now button.

http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html

Step 2: After you download it, you will have to install it then select which trial you want to use. Click the one at the top saying “Photoshop CC”. And don’t worry, Photoshop CC and Photoshop CS6 are the SAME thing.

Step 3: After Adobe Photoshop is installed, it will say you have a 30 Day Trial. If it doesn’t, you are good and fine but heed the next step carefully anyways.

Step 4: When your 30 days are over, if you are on a Mac it does not really end. Make a NEW MAC ACCOUNT, specifically for Photoshop, because you can still upload files and move files from other users too. Call the account Photoshop, and after 30 Days are up on THAT one, delete it and make a new one. Every time you do, it gives you 30 MORE days, so your time with this awesome editor is INFINITE.

{There are other ways, so some might be ILLEGAL, however it is still working and VERY hard to trace, however be known that there are SOME risks, though very small, since THOUSANDS have gotten away with it :)! Yeah}
