There are two PlayStation emulators for OS X. You might want to try using to get Flarestorm to at least run.

Also, there are two different versions of Flarestorm going around. The only good PlayStation emulator for Mac was Connectix Virtual GameStation. Not only was it quickly killed by Sony, but even if you found a copy, you couldn't run it in on any recent Macs. It only runs in OS 9; it won't even run in Classic. It was a REALLY good emulator, though. Gave me full speed and near-perfect compatibility on my old 450MHz iMac.

Dmitry, I have a PlayStation and a PlayStation 2, but I'd still love to use Virtual GameStation again. In fact, I don't use ANY emulators for systems I don't own. Well, I own a PS, a PS2, a GC, a GBA and a DS, really. Besides my PS2, which is currently at the store to be modified so it can read also NTSC games, the other consoles I own work perfectly well. My problem is not the hardware, it is the software: where I live, some old PS games doesn't exist anymore (Star Ocean 2), while others, like Chrono Cross, never reached Europe.

So I thought I would give it a try and play with them with this emulator thingy. But I found also a site from which I can download them for free, so maybe I'll give that a try, since this emulator looks quite difficult to get it atleast run on my computer. Thanks for your help anyway!

To configure krfb, go to System Settings > Sharing > Desktop Sharing > Configure. Vnc viewer for mac compatible with ubuntu.

Now, open up PCSX. It should open up normally but complain about a missing BIOS.

Now, close PCSX. This step creates the neccesary location for us to put the BIOS files into.

The original PlayStation can be emulated excellently on Mac OS X using the open-source emulator, PCSX-Reloaded (formerly PCSX). The Mac OS X build is available in binary form, and mercifully it's an app bundle too. You just double-click and go. File, load ISO, point it to a disc image, and play. PlayStation emulation generally requires. PCSX/PCSX-Reloaded is a PlayStation (PSone) emulator for Mac OS X. I've been experimenting with it a little and I've made a guide for anyone who wants to play PlayStation games on Mac OS X.

(EDIT: Thanks for pointing it out uselessparadigm) Now to install the PS1 BIOS. Double click 'Playstation Bios Files.zip' to unzip the folder. Bring up a new finder window and navigate to: Your user account name e.g. Library Application Support Pcsx Bios Now take all the files that were unzipped from 'Playstaion Bios Files.zip' and drag them into the Bios folder.

OK, tried most of my PS1 games, and the only one that worked was Oddworld - and that didn't really work. There were just a few opening images hitching on the screen. I couldn't get to the point of actually playing a game, and if I did, it looks like the performance would have been far, far too poor to actually play it.

The 'screen' is just a smallish wind in the center of the actual screen. Good thing a still have a PS 1 floating around here, somewhere. It not the large grey one - it's the little white one with a detachable screen. So, it could be safe to say that a MacBook Air (13') with a SuperDrive, running OS X 10.6.8 it not an ideal setup for this PS1 Emulator. Well, I did all that, and things seemed to have gone well. I installed everything according to the instructions provided and found all the instructions said I should, blah blah, blah, blah. But I have not yet tested any PS1 CDs yet because I am using a 2011 Macbook Air.
