PCSX-Reloaded
Sign in to saveAlso known as PCSXR, PCSX
PCSX is a free and open-source, video game console emulator that allows software designed to be used with the Sony PlayStation to run on personal computers. Over the years, development changed hands several times with PCSX-Reloaded (PCSXR) now being the main version. As of 2021, the emulator seems to be no longer under active development. A newer, actively maintained fork of PCSX-Reloaded is PCSX-Redux.
Source code
PCSX-Reloaded is a forked version of the dead PCSX emulator, with a nicer interface and several improvements to stability and functionality. PCSX-Reloaded uses the PSEMU plugin interface to provide most functionality; without them, you will not be able to use it to play games. PCSX-Reloaded provides a number of plugins to provide basic functionality out of the box. PCSX-Reloaded has a very capable Internal HLE BIOS that can run many games without problems. It is recommended that you use it. However, if you own a real PlayStation, you may be able to use your own BIOS image. PCSX-Reloaded will find it in ~/.pcsx/bios/ or /usr/share/psemu/bios/ if you place it there. This can improve compatibility, especially with certain games and with the use of memory cards. See the doc/ folder in the source, or /usr/share/doc/pcsx/ on Debian systems, for more detailed information on PCSX-Reloaded. A UNIX manpage is also available.
