I used XGS for some time, but was never satisfied with it.

XGS crashes about 60% of the stuff I try to run on it.  Mind you, I
run mostly high powered IIGS stuff on my real IIGS (graphics and
sound intensive).  I'm not surprised at all that Star Trek GS crashed.

Bernie and even KEGS are better IIGS emulators, but for complete
compatibility, nothing beats the real IIGS.  So although Bernie will
run more stuff than XGS, it won't run everything.
