Great for real OS 9; doesn't work on Classic Mode on OS X.

this software is great if you have an old Mac -- that is, one that runs OS 9 natively. it does *not* work, however, on OS X Classic Mode. on OS 9 it's fine; not perfect, but nearly as good as the real thing (worked on all my games, but supposedly problems on a few games).

For people who can't buy the PS

A great buy, but still not perfect

I bought this for [price] over a year ago, and I must say, I was rather surprised when I could play Final Fantasy 7 and 8 almost flawlessly. The problems mainly were in FF8, where a few of the sounds (i.e. climbing ladders) and a few visuals (item and enemy selection in battles) -- were somewhat flawed. Otherwise, this was very good. The bad thing is that Connectix discontinued this product, likely because Sony filed multiple lawsuits against them. Oh well. It can run most games... Definitely not all, but I'm using it mostly for Square titles (FF7, FF8, FFT, and chrono cross work fine, FF9 and anthology do not)... and it's fine. The res switching is a bit annoying as well. It [stinks] that Connectix won't support it, anymore, though.

Have a Mac but no Playstation? Then get this. CVGS is by far the coolest gaming software to come to Macintosh.This product should be rated for everyone , not Mature becuase its suitable for everyone! You can get everygame for Playstation on it, just not PS2. You never have to buy memory cards because you can make new one!Two small bad things is that you can only have 1 game controller so player 2 must use the keyboard and its not portable. Also, you never have to install a game. And dont worry about freezes or reboots or viruses. This is completely hassle free! Seems to good to be true... WELL IT'S TRUE! Kids you'll love it! Parents; they'll love it and maybe you too! Well to sum it up; GET IT! Hope this review helps! (*^_^*)

Cheaper and Better than the Real Playstation

This is a Playstation emulator, a program that allows you to play a Playstation game on your computer without having a Playstation. Pros: --It runs faster than the real thing sice you have a fast CD drive and the PS has a quad speed

--This means that it runs smoother and that response time on the computer is faster

--It runs almost any game

--It's cheaper than the real thing

--No need to purchase memory cards as they are on your computer

Cons: --Certain games (such as Crash Team Racing) do not run on it, they are incompatible

--Some confusion over controls as you must set the controls for the emulator, as well as the in-game controls

All in all, I would say that this is well worth it. I mean, come on, one game that we bought doesn't run, but we saved that much in buying this over the actual thing. It runs faster, smoother, and has a better quality. One warning though, make sure you have a port on you rocmputer for the game pads or else you'll have to buy those as well. Even with its downsides, I'd say that THIS PROGRAM IS A MUST-HAVE
