The infamous commercial PlayStation emulator for Mac OS 9! Pretty
decent compatibility. Lived a short life, as Sony and their team of
lawyers moved in quickly to kill this, and in the end, bought the
program from a financially exhausted Connectix, and locked it away in
a vault. Sad story, really.

DL#1: The first download is a PC/Mac hybrid CD image (see also the
alternative download link below).

External link
[Download from MediaFire][1]

Note: The Mediafire DL is of a 42.3 MB zipped .toast archive. [This is Version 1.41][2] (September 15, 2000). It's an original full PC/Mac hybrid CD image. Unzip and rename the ".toast" suffix to ".iso" to burn and access on a PC (discard and ignore the "_MacOSX" folder extracted from the zip file, this was zipped on an OS X machine and there's some artifacts left behind).

The user manual is located on the PC side of the .toast DL (didn't see
one on the Mac side) so I have added it above; it's for both Mac & PC
versions.

DL#2: This is a disk image containing an image of the VGS 1.1 CD and
various updaters, cracks and patches. Also included is the PSX
MagiKard utility for editing VGS save files.

DL#3: Spyro The Dragon is an excellent example game disc which this
emulator plays.
This is a fresh scan of SkyCapt's OEM 1998 disc. It cannot be
virtually mounted, it must be burned to disc and run on a "chip mod"
patched version of this emulator. Spyro pushes the hardware capability
of PS1 to its limit, is all-ages family fun, and has cheat codes plus
a hidden demo for "Crash Bandicoot: Warped". Its awesome in-game
soundtrack was composed by Stewart Copeland, drummer for "The Police".

with CVGS?
A: There are two PowerBook G3 models that are not CVGS-compatible:
