Soon thereafter, Sony purchased VGS from Connectix and discontinued it. The case was eventually closed in favour of Connectix, but Connectix was unable to sell the software in the meantime because Sony had been awarded a temporary injunction. Sony perceived VGS as a threat, and filed a lawsuit against Connectix for copyright infringement. It was slightly less popular there due to competition with other emulators such as bleem!, though it did have better compatibility. VGS was later ported to Microsoft Windows. VGS proved to be extremely popular, as it cost less than half the price of a PlayStation and did not require any extra hardware. Versions 1.1 and 1.2 of VGS attempted to make "modding" more difficult but were soon modified as well. Like the PS1, the system was region locked, and copied games would not work either, although it didn't take too long for the hacker community to release a "Mod Chipped" version. VGS was initially released for NTSC based PlayStation games but later versions were made for PAL based games. The only lacking features were the ability to receive DualShock force-feedback or use light-guns. Several PlayStation-type hand controllers became available with VGS in mind.

The recompiling CPU emulator was written by Eric Traut. It was first released for the Macintosh, in 1999, after being previewed at Macworld/iWorld the same year by Steve Jobs and Phil Schiller.
