DuckStation

DuckStation is an simulator/emulator of the Sony PlayStation(TM) / PSX / PS1 console, focusing on playability, speed, and long-term maintainability. The goal is to be as accurate as possible while maintaining high performance.<br><br>A &quot;BIOS&quot; ROM image is required to start the emulator and to play games. A ROM image is not provided with the emulator for legal reasons, you should dump this from your own console using Caetla/Unirom/etc. Games are NOT provided with the emulator, it can only be used to play legally purchased and dumped games.<br><br>DuckStation supports cue, iso, img, ecm, mds, chd, and unencrypted PBP game images. If your games are in other formats, you will need to re-dump them. For single track games in bin format, you can use https://www.duckstation.org/cue-maker/ to generate cue files.<br><br>Features include:<br> - OpenGL, Vulkan and software rendering<br> - Upscaling, texture filtering, and true colour (24-bit) in hardware renderers<br> - Widescreen rendering in supported games (no stretching!)<br> - PGXP for geometry precision, texture correction, and depth buffer emulation (fixes texture &quot;wobble&quot;/polygon fighting)<br> - Adaptive downsampling filter<br> - Post processing shader chains (GLSL and experimental Reshade FX).<br> - 60fps in PAL games where supported<br> - Per-game settings (set enhancements and controller mapping for each game individually)<br> - Up to 8 controllers in supported game with multitap<br> - Controller and keyboard binding (+vibration for controllers)<br> - RetroAchievements in supported games (https://retroachievements.org)<br> - Memory card editor (move saves, import gme/mcr/mc/mcd)<br> - Built in patch code database<br> - Save states with preview screenshots<br> - Blazing fast turbo speeds in mid to high end devices<br> - Emulated CPU overclocking to improve FPS in games<br> - Runahead and rewind (do not use on slow devices)<br> - Controller layout editing and scaling (in pause menu)<br><br>DuckStation supports both 32-bit/64-bit ARM, and 64-bit x86 devices. However, due to it being a more accurate emulator, hardware requirements can be moderate. If you have a 32-bit ARM device, please do not expect the emulator to perform well - you will need at least a 1.5GHz CPU for good performance.<br><br>If you have an external controller, you will need to map the buttons and sticks in settings.<br><br>Game compatibility list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H66MxViRjjE5f8hOl5RQmF5woS1murio2dsLn14kEqo/edit?usp=sharing<br><br>&quot;PlayStation&quot; is a registered trademark of Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe Limited.
