Virtual Game Station
Does anybody here have Virtual Game Station working under 10.2? It installs fine in classic, but when you try to play a game it keeps telling me that the CD driver is not an Apple driver so it wont work. This is on a Dual 450 G4, and a 17" Powerbook... both with their original optical drives.
There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

Re: Virtual Game Station
From what I understand, VGS needs hardware control over the drive. Classic can't give it this, so VGS can't run. Connectix was bought out by Sony, and VGS will never be updated (they bought Connectix just to get VGS).
Head over to Hansi's Mac PSX Emu Page and download the newest FlareStorm. It's still in either alpha or beta (can't remember which), ao not as many games are supported, but it's OS X native. On top of that, the games that do work, generally look better than they did in VGS. Also, it supports the VGS memory card system, so you can use all your old saved games.

Did you mean "to get VGS", or "to get RID of VGS"? "[It] will never be updated" -- if accurate -- sounds an awful lot like the latter!

Re: Virtual Game Station
It's definitely "to get rid of VGS". Sony spent months in court in an unsuccessful attempt to block sale/development of VGS. Since it was pretty obvious they were loosing, they needed another way to kill VGS. So they bought 'em out. BTW they only bought out VGS. Connectix continued to exist as a separate company.
