DuckStation

DuckStation HD PS1 PSX Emulator

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.

A "BIOS" 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.

DuckStation s 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.

Features include:

- OpenGL, Vulkan and software rendering

- Upscaling, texture filtering, and true colour (24-bit) in hardware renderers

- Widescreen rendering in ed games (no stretching!)

- PGXP for geometry precision, texture correction, and depth buffer emulation (fixes texture "wobble"/polygon fighting)

- Adaptive downsampling filter

- Post processing shader chains (GLSL and experimental Reshade FX).

- 60fps in PAL games where ed

- Per-game settings (set enhancements and controller mapping for each game individually)

- Up to 8 controllers in ed game with multitap

- Controller and keyboard binding (+vibration for controllers)

- RetroAchievements in ed games (https://retroachievements.org)

- Memory card editor (move saves, import gme/mcr/mc/mcd)

- Built in patch code database

- Save states with preview screenshots

- Blazing fast turbo speeds in mid to high end devices

- Emulated U overclocking to improve FPS in games

- Runahead and rewind (do not use on slow devices)

- Controller layout editing and scaling (in pause menu)

DuckStation s 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 U for good performance.

If you have an external controller, you will need to map the buttons and sticks in settings.
