With GPU, CVGS can do a better job of centering the display on screen, and, adds full frame smoothing or anti aliasing. are the 3 necessary extensions, while.ĪTI Video Accelerator is the wrench that should be removed.

And the ATI install pkg writes 4 extensions while 3 are required and the remaining 1 slows down the computer and should be disabled.
Classic mac emulator graphcis acceleration drivers#
If it were more popular to run CVGS without GPU then these drivers would appear in the foreground of the downloads. If you go straight to the latest greatest CVGS v1.4.1 then you won't find these old null drivers.

The "fake" (null) ATI drivers are located nearly hidden, inside a disc image within a disk image, of our present day CVGS download named "VirtualGameStation.img" / Disk images / "Connectix VGS.cdr" which is v1.1 of CVGS. PS1 is a very elegant system, like I said, easy to emulate. PS1 is a RISC CPU with probably 33 MHz RAMs and a 33 MHz GPU, whereas an x86 from 1993 had a 33 MHz CPU but slower CISC and certainly had RAMs a lot slower than 33 MHz. The PS1 itself was a 33 MHz CPU (says wikipedia), but PS1 looks way too good to be compared to say a 33 MHz PeeCee of the early 1990s. Less demanding, avg PS1 games, might run ok with no GPU on about an 800 MHz CPU. Without a GPU on 1583 MHz CPU, I do run Spyro at full speed, but I only have to slow down my Mac a tiny bit before seeing some frame rate loss. Spyro controls feel like an analog joystick even tho the CVGS interface is d-pad, amazing. Spyro is for all ages, instantly engaging, and has cheat codes - both for 99 lives and for unlocking-all-levels. I do like "Spyro The Dragon", the review says things like Spyro squeezes every drop of performance power out of PS1, and "not a single polygon" is drawn flawed. Sony might hold partial ownership of most game titles. Garden could offer an example download of a PS1 game, on the CVGS page, for instant confirmation of functioning, tho I'm not sure what might perturb the copyright holders. To have attempted this back-in-the-day, itd've been too slow to play on the avg 300-400 MHz CPUs at the time, but the 1583 MHz CPU I have right now is killing it. CVGS says it requires ATI Rage compatible hardware acceleration, and they recommend the (then) latest ATI drivers, but CVGS can be tricked into performing by installing rather outdated ATI drivers without their corresponding ATI hardware.
I'm running CVGS now WITHOUT supported hardware, which is a trick that doesn't appear popularized, yet. And PS1 is much more demanding than atari8, just less complex and easier to emulate. Tested that my NVRAM is working but entering "sudo nvram TestVar=HelloWorld" in Terminal, then restarting and running "sudo nvram -p | grep 'TestVar'" and the result was HelloWorld.īios screenshots below.See: "Connectix Virtual Game Station" aka CVGS aka Connectix VGS.ĬVGS won't run under emulation itself, you must be booted under Classic Mac OS, and there may be newer better PS1 emulators today (are they "abandonware"?), but this CVGS does remarkably well, truer than say the Atari 8-bit emulators I've seen for OS9 (goto high OSX versions for atari). All KEXT have been downloaded with in the last 2 days, from Github links, so they should be the most current.
