Virtual Game Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Released at a time when the Sony Playstation was at its peak of popularity, Virtual Game Station was the first PlayStation emulator, for any platform, that enabled games to run at full speed on modest computer hardware, and the first that supported nearly all PlayStation games. The Virtual Game Station (VGS) is an emulator by Connectix that allows Sony PlayStation games to be played on a computer. Like the PS1, only games released for the selected VGS system could be run, copied games would not work either, although it didn't take too long for the hacker community to release a "Mod Chipped" version. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Virtual_Game_Station   (444 words)

My Mac Online: The Archives: February 1999: Software Review - Connectix Virtual Game Station Much has been written about Connectix's Virtual Game Station, and as of the writing of this review, it has not yet gone out to the vendors to be sold. While PC users have longed claimed dominance over Mac users in the number of games available for their platform of choice, the Connectix Virtual Game Station now brings us thousands of new games playable on the Mac--something which the PC world can only dream of doing. Like Virtual PC, (see David E. Price's review of Virtual PC 2.0 in this issue) Virtual Game Station is emulation software. www.mymac.com /archives/feb_99/connectix_vgs.shtml   (782 words)

Interview, Connectix CEO RoyMcDonald NOTE: Unknown to us at the time, a day after Connectix Virtual Game station was released, someone wrote a VGS patch that gets around Connectix protections that prevent the use of VGS to play illegal copies of Sony's games. Connectix is now shipping a new emulator, Virtual Game Station ($49), which emulates the Sony PlayStation on Apple G3 Macs (older Macs with upgrade cards are not supported). Demonstrations on the Expo show floor on the new 266 MHz iMacs ($1199) showed snappy performance of games, not as fast as on a Sony Game Station, but faster and smoother than on Virtual PC with Windows. www.macwindows.com /MW99conn.html   (1440 words)

Connectix Virtual Game Station Review Virtual Game Station, announced and initially released in limited quantities to MacWorld attendees in January 1999, is their latest product that allows Mac users to play many Playstation titles on G3 Mac systems. Virtual Game Station is a software program that emulates the Playstation hardware. Advanced Gravis is preparing a USB game pad that is practically identical to the Playstation game pad, while Ariston Technologies has its "Hermes" USB game pad already available. www.macledge.com /Reviews99/VGS/VGS.chtml   (3099 words)

Macworld: News: Sony acquires Virtual Game Station from Connectix Retail copies of Virtual Game Station were just starting to dwindle almost a year later when the injunction was lifted, enabling Connectix to continue to sell and develop the software. Virtual Game Station is a Sony Playstation emulator that enables computers to run many software titles developed for use with the popular PlayStation video game console. Released first for the Mac, Virtual Game Station was later put into limbo when the U.S. District Court ordered a preliminary injunction which prevented Connectix from selling or distributing the software. www.macworld.com /news/2001/03/15/vgs   (755 words)

AppleInsider- Apple Eyes Connectix, Rights to Virtual Game Station When the dust settled, it was clear, the first corporation was Apple Computer, the second was of course Connectix Corp. and their product is Virtual Game Station. "Apple is determined to prevent a PC version of Virtual Game Station from hitting the market," one source said. One corporation, struggling in the consumer space due to a lack of popular games, and the other, emulation wizards who just whipped up an emulator package that lets any Macintosh G3 owner play a wide selection of Sony PlayStation games directly on their Macintosh. www.appleinsider.com /articles/9901/apple-eyes-connectix.shtml   (557 words)

Connectix's Virtual Game Station Review I can't think up any reason to recommend Connectix's Virtual Game Station to the Mac gaming community as a whole. Neither should you discount the fact that the "actual" game station will be able to utilize every Playstation controller including dual-shock controllers, light guns with recoil and pedal reload (don't hold your breath waiting for that to come to the Mac), and analog steering wheels. The main feature that might interest you is that the PSX2 will be backwards compatible with Playstation games and controllers. www.xlr8yourmac.com /games/PlaystationEMU/cvgs.html   (2169 words)

GameGenie.com: PC Game Reviews - Virtual Game Station Virtual Game Station's main competition is another emulator I shall call Meelb (don't sue me!).

Virtual Game Station is the best PlayStation emulator available. www.gamegenie.com /reviews/pc/vgs.shtml   (537 words)

IGN: Virtual Game Station Gallery Good enough, in fact, for Mac World editors to award Virtual Game Station "best of show" honors for the software category at Mac World Expo upon its debut earlier this week. While the game looks just fine, the low framerate delivered by our test system meant that the game was virtually unplayable — the music and on-screen "beat indicator" never synched up. How do games actually look on Connectix's PlayStation emulator? psx.ign.com /articles/066/066363p1.html   (476 words)

AppleInsider- An Inside Look at Connectix Virtual Game Station Virtual Game Station is currently unavailable to the public, and could only be purchased at the Connectix booth for the duration of the Macworld Expo. The folks at Connectix were kind enough to give us a copy of their new PlayStation emulator, Virtual Game Station. Though the current release does not support European or Japanese PlayStation games, a number of MOD patches (hacks) have surfaced on the net enabling the functionality. www.appleinsider.com /articles/9901/virtual-game-station.shtml   (488 words)

Virtual Game Station FAQ Some games regularly read from the CD while Connectix Virtual Game Station is paused; ejecting and then re-inserting these games while they are paused may lead to problems when resuming the game. Connectix has found that a few PlayStation games (less then 5% of the games tested), may perform more smoothly if an additional 1 to 2 MB of RAM is allocated to the CVGS application.
