Aug 07, 2011 Back in the day, a company called Connectix produced a great Playstation emulator for Mac OSX called Virtual Game Station. Sony stepped in and bought the company out and shut them down. It is fairly easy to find the demo on the internet, but I've found something better.
The following is a list of notable emulation software for arcade games, home video game consoles and handheld game consoles.
Amiga
Arcade
- MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator)
Atari
- Atari 2600
Microsoft
- Xbox 360
Nintendo
Home consoles
- Nintendo Entertainment System
- Super NES
- Nintendo 64
- GameCube/Wii
- Wii U
Handhelds
- Game Boy
- Game Boy Advance
- VisualBoyAdvance (Also supports Game Boy and Game Boy Color)
- Nintendo 3DS
Other
- Nintendo Switch
SNK
- Neo Geo CD
Sony
- PlayStation
- PlayStation 2
- PlayStation 3
- PlayStation Portable
- PlayStation 4
- As of January 2020, there are no working PlayStation 4 emulators. A website promoting a supposed PS4 emulator, 'PCSX4', is a scam.[1] A PlayStation 4 emulator called Orbital is in early development, but binaries are not provided, and the project 'is not ready for end users.'[1][2][3]
Multi-system emulators
Multi-system emulators are capable of emulating the functionality of multiple systems.
Virtual Game Station Mac And Cheese
- MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), formerly a stand-alone application and now part of MAME
