PCSX is a Sony Playstation™ (PSX) emulator which will allow you to play many PSOne game titles on a Macintosh Computer System. PCSX is not an original emulator but is ported from the Linux emulator of the same name. Since PCSX relies on plugins for core functionality several plugins have been ported and / or written from scratch. For simplicity these plugins are bundled with the main emulator download.
Requirements
- Mac OS X 10.2 or newer
Emulating a PSX is processor intensive and will need a 800MHz CPU or better for many games. However it's not unlikely that some games will play very nicely on slower hardware. You mileage may vary.
