I have Virtual Game Station, but my brother has recently got an emulator for his PC which uses the PC's GeForce 2 graphics card instead of emulating Playstation quality graphics, resulting in much better looking games. Is there anything similar for the Mac?

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

Connectix VGS is about all she wrote as far as commercial PSX emulators go. I recently read that Sony has purchased VGS from Connectix. I don't know if Sony plans to upgrade the product or cease development on it.

Your PC friend was probably using Bleem, a Windows-only PSX emulator that sacrifices compatibility for improved visuals.

VGS' advantage is that I've never found a game it can't run. The same cannot be said for Bleem, which has a hefty list of games that simply don't run correctly or at all.

Sure, VGS might not have top-notch graphics, but it hardly renders games unplayable... and it is PLAYING the game that you are after, not STARING at the game, right?
Be happy.
