One of the newer NES emulators for Mac, with adequate mapper support (0,1,2,3,4,7,11), sound, two player, and save state support. Very fast, and worth a download. This is the final version of GrayBox Classic; the developer is currently rewriting the code.

NesMAC runs only mapper 0 games, but it runs them quite well if there's no scrolling. Also, it only accepts small (16k/32k) ROM images. This is an early release, but it has sound.

MacOS
xNES was in it's early stages when the authors quit due to differences within the team. It has no sound support and runs very few games. Not worth a download.
