AFAIK VMWare doesn't support 3D anyway, unless it's different in Mac OSs, Labrat - I'm surprised you can get an application that requires 3D to run at all.

I don't really know anything about Parallels Desktop, but if it acts as a virtual machine, again, I'm suprised pSX runs at all. If it acts as an OS emulator, then slow running is about what I'd expect to see. It's only if it acts as a layer, like Wine in Linux, that you're even going to have a chance of performance comparable to what it should be.

BTW - what are the specs of the machine you're doing this on?
