Best PSX Emulator for Mac?

phnord · May 23rd, 2008

The title pretty much says it all... I'm looking for an emulator that has a high compatibility rate for my Mac. I'm hoping to play through Xenogears in specific because although I finally got my hands on it, I don't have my system anymore...

For the record, I have a non-intel Powerbook w/ 1.33GHz and 512 MB Ram

Hmm... from what I've seen there are quite a few others, but all the information is so out-of-date that it's hard to tell what the best is these days. So far I've tried out PCSX and have found it to be pretty good if you don't mess with it (albeit slightly glitchy at times), but it is severely lacking in features in comparison to emulators I've used for other systems.

If anyone knows if there's anything else worth trying out, please let me know.

Try pSX. It's the best I've used by far. They have a linux version, which I'm not sure will run on OSX, but there's definately a certain amount of compatability between the platforms so it's worth a shot.
