A simple and portable Sony PlayStation emulator and emulation library written in C

Hi! I'm Lycoder. I've been working on a PS1 emulator for about a year now. I've reached a point where I can run most games, and I thought it would be nice to share it with you.

The emulator is still very much under active development, and I have tons of plans to improve it further. These include a proper GUI (which I'm currently working on), support for PS1-based arcade boards (such as Konami System 573, Sony ZN, Namco System 10, etc.), a JIT CPU, GPU enhancements like PGXP (perspective-correct rendering), internal resolution upscaling, hardware rendering, and much more!

I'm open to suggestions or any questions regarding the development of the emulator and my future plans for it.

Right now, the emulator is hosted on this GitHub repo, so feel free to check it out!

PCSX2 is a free and open-source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator. Its purpose is to emulate the PS2's hardware, using a combination of MIPS CPU Interpreters, Recompilers and a Virtual Machine which manages hardware states and PS2 system memory. This allows you to play PS2 games on your PC, with many additional features and benefits.

Priorities for future releases:
– Add a new window for controls and remapping from there
– Add an individual configuration for each game



The changes are:

– I added Rawinput to Input type in the Control tab. I don’t know if this option works properly.

Today’s the day for MAME 0.267, our midyear release. This month, we’ve got a brand new Z80 CPU core. It’s going to help us support more of the extensive family of Z80-like CPUs and also allow more precise control over bus timings. Speaking of CPU emulation, there are some nice fixes for long-standing Motorola 68k floating point unit bugs. They’re particularly noticeable in classic Mac applications whenever trigonometry is involved, but they also help some arcade systems.

The Tomy Prin-C children’s sticker designer system has come to life this month, with inputs and video output, and enough bug fixes to the Fujitsu F2MC-16 CPU core to get the software running. The printer isn’t emulated, but you can still have fun experimenting with this unique system. If you want something a bit more grown-up, some DMA fixes allow the MIPS-based Sony NEWS workstations to boot the earlier NEWS-OS 4.1R, and there’s a new software list with installation media...
