Mupen64 can be loaded and played on using a Virtual Console.

I think your main problem is not that you can't run the emulators on your Mac, the biggest problem here is simply that you're using a Mac...

Here's what you have to do:

Download Apple Boot Camp from the Apple website, then install Windows on your computer (it'll only take up about 5Gb). From there, you can use any emulator. It's the only way you'll be able to play online, but it works fine; I used my MacBook in Egypt to play online while I was there. The only bad part is you have to buy Windows, but if you can't spare $50 then you shouldn't be playing Smash online.

Macs are more stable and "faster" overall, and are great for jobs, schools, etc, while Windows has more stuff.

You can't play project64k or whatever on a mac though - you'll have to emulate or get windows. Yukihana emulated it once, and it didn't lag at all, so it's not that bad.

Mac's run windows better than a PC does.

Except Macs are a totally pain to troubleshoot. Taking apart to a Mac just to check the RAM takes about 2 hours vs 1 minute for a PC. Plus mac hard drives die after like 3 days lol.
