How to Play PS1 Games on a Mac

In 1994, Sony released the PlayStation games console, Sony's first entry into the console game market. Sony's PlayStation stood toe to toe with Nintendo's Nintendo 64 console, proving once and for all that there was room in the video game market for more than one system. The system's games came on CD-ROM discs that were read by a laser inside the PlayStation console; however, many users now have entire collections of PlayStation games that are unplayable because their systems were either broken or sold,. Fortunately for Mac users, PS1 games can be played on their Mac computer with a few simple steps.
