<br />
The '''[[gametech:PlayStation|PlayStation]]''' (frequently referred to in shorthand as the PS1 or PSX) is a 5th generation console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment in 1994. It was a commercial success in part to being relatively easy to program for compared to others at the time, and because its CD based media was cheaper than the competition.<br />

<br />
===Comparisons===<br />
===PC===<br />
<br />
* [[Mednafen|Mednafen PSX]] is an emulator focused on [[accuracy]]. It is extremely compatible, outdoing even Sony's official PSone emulator in accuracy tests. Do note if you find an exception, though. It requires a very specific BIOS for each region. The minimum system requirement is a Core 2 Duo at 2 GHz clock. Mednafen itself is command line only and has no GUI. There are external GUI launchers available. Both [[RetroArch]] and [[BizHawk]] have cores based on this emulator. They're easier to use than the standalone emulator thanks to their GUIs.<br />
<br />
* [[EPSXe|ePSXe]] is a fairly standard plugin-based emulator. However, it's closed source, so it only gets updates from the main developers. These come sporadically, with some updates being spaced out by more than a year's time. This leads to it being relatively outdated compared to other PlayStation emulators. Since version 1.8.0, ePSXe has been available on Android as a premium (paid) app.<br />
<br />
* [[PCSX-R]] is actively developed and is open source. Like ePSXe, it is also a plugin-based emulator. It has several enhanced features that ePSXe lacks, as well as support for superior [[Recommended_PSX_Plugins|plugins]], such as LilyPad. Post any issues you find on their [https://pcsxr.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic issue tracker]. The Windows version is largely unmaintained and lacks some newer features that the OS X/Linux versions have.<br />
<br />
* PCSX-ReARMed is essentially the ARM version of PCSX-R, sharing a similar core, but optimized for portable handheld devices. Its biggest draw is its NEON software renderer, which is both fast and accurate, and has the ability to render at a higher resolution without resorting to HLE plugins.<br />
<br />
* [[XEBRA]] has very high compatibility. Games that require subchannel data are not supported, but most other games run flawlessly. Obtuse user interface as the developer is Japanese, so be prepared. XEBRA requires a BIOS, but an alternate build of it called ARBEX doesn't require one.<br />
<br />
* [[No$|NO$PSX]] is a well-rounded emulator by the same author of [[No$|NO$GBA]]. There are two versions of the emulator; standard users will want to use the cut-down gaming version. It offers decent compatibility with very low spec requirements – the programmer's philosophy is to deliver a working application out of the box. As of today, it's still being developed. PocketStation is emulated through [[No$|NO$GBA]].<br />
<br />
* [[PSX|PSXfin]] is a simple emulator with simple usage. It has a lot of compatibility issues<ref name="psXcompat">http://psx.silvanthalas.com/psx.html</ref>. It requires a BIOS for use, but compatibility with each one is inconsistent. Development has been halted and it remains closed source. It's really only useful for very old toasters.<br />
<br />

<br />
It's generally recommended to use Mednafen or PCSX-R. Many use Mednafen for its accuracy at native resolution, and PCSX-R for 3D games (that don't use prerendered backgrounds) because of support for plugins which allow for better graphics quality than original hardware. Unfortunately the best plugins for increasing internal resolution and shader support (Pete OpenGL2 v2.9 and Edgbla gpuBladesoft v1.42a) are closed source and haven't been updated for years.<br />
<br />
===Consoles===<br />
<br />
* POPS (short for PlayStation On PSP System) is the name of the program for the PSP made by Sony for their PSone Classics releases. It utilizes [[PSP Eboots|EBOOTs]], a form of binary file for PSP, instead of bin/cue/etc, which can be made using a converter if desired. Compatibility is very high due to it being made by Sony and the PSP containing a CPU that is very similar to the one found in the PlayStation. This makes it so it isn't purely an emulator, although it does emulate the PS1s GPU. It includes support for multi-disc games (within the one EBOOT). Only native PS1 resolution is supported, with games being stretched as the user wishes to fit the screen. POPS is also available on the PlayStation 2, although compatibility is not as high.<br />
<br />
* PS2PSXe is another PS1 emulator for the PS2. However, this one is unofficial. Compatibility is very low. It is generally recommended to disc swap for the PS2, which in turn will utilize the built-in PS1 hardware available in every PS2. Double swapping (using the same method as a real PS1) is required for PS2s with model numbers SCPH-100xx - SCPH-390xx.<br />
<br />
* PlayStation 3 has a built-in software emulator with high compatibility, as it is used for PSone Classics releases on the system as well as actual PS1 discs.<br />
<br />
* WiiSX is a port of PCSX to the Wii. Compatibility is fairly low due to the weak power of the Wii. This plus the lack of updates to the emulator makes it generally not worth using.<br />

==Emulation issues==<br />
<br />
[[File:Cheryl_compared.png|thumb|350px|Left showing native resolution and unblended dithering. Right showing HD and no dithering.]]<br />
[[File:Ps1_jitter.gif|thumb|left|Example of jittering in PS1 games, which is more noticeable when emulating at higher internal resolutions. (Click to play)]]<br />
Several problems occur when running PS1 games, and they become more noticeable at resolutions higher than native internal resolution when using plugins which can increase it like Edgbla's GpuBladesoft, Pete's OpenGL2 and GSDX. Though they're still apparent at native, the low resolution's aliasing and blurriness kills almost any visibility, hiding the issues.<br />
<br />
Jittering polygons are caused by low-precision fixed-point (to the native resolution) math. Plugins can attempt to fix this ([[Recommended_PSX_Plugins#Video|GTE Accuracy]]), but it often creates holes in seams.<br />
<br />
The PS1 hardware didn't have a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-buffering z-buffer]. The lack of a z-buffer causes things like polygons popping over others. Tekken character limbs are a good example to see that. It's theoretically possible to implement z-buffer in PS1 emulators/GPU plugins.<ref>[https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://forum.emu-russia.net/viewtopic.php?p=17237 gpuBladeSoft discussion]</ref><br />
<br />
No texture perspective correction causes distortion to texture angles at certain viewing angles, notably at the bottom near the camera. This could be mitigated with modern texture filtering methods along with perspective-correct texture mapping if implemented into PS1 emulators/GPU plugins.<br />
<br />

* [[EPSXe|ePSXe]] is a fairly standard plugin-based emulator. However, it's closed source, so it only gets updates from the main developers. These come sporadically, with some updates being spaced out by more than a year's time. This leads to it being relatively outdated compared to other PlayStation emulators. Since version 1.8.0, ePSXe has been available on Android as a premium (paid) app.<br />
<br />
* [[PCSX-R]] is actively developed and is open source. Like ePSXe, it is also a plugin-based emulator. It has several enhanced features that ePSXe lacks, as well as support for superior [[Recommended_PSX_Plugins|plugins]], such as LilyPad. Post any issues you find on their [https://pcsxr.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic issue tracker]. The Windows version is largely unmaintained and lacks some newer features that the OS X/Linux versions have.<br />
<br />
* PCSX-ReARMed is essentially the ARM version of PCSX-R, sharing a similar core, but optimized for portable handheld devices. Its biggest draw is its NEON software renderer, which is both fast and accurate, and has the ability to render at a higher resolution without resorting to HLE plugins.<br />
<br />
* [[XEBRA]] has very high compatibility. Games that require subchannel data are not supported, but most other games run flawlessly. Obtuse user interface as the developer is Japanese, so be prepared. XEBRA requires a BIOS, but an alternate build of it called ARBEX doesn't require one.<br />
<br />
* [[No$|NO$PSX]] is a well-rounded emulator by the same author of [[No$|NO$GBA]]. There are two versions of the emulator; standard users will want to use the cut-down gaming version. It offers decent compatibility with very low spec requirements – the programmer's philosophy is to deliver a working application out of the box. As of today, it's still being developed. PocketStation is emulated through [[No$|NO$GBA]].<br />
<br />
* [[PSX|PSXfin]] is a simple emulator with simple usage. It has a lot of compatibility issues<ref name="psXcompat">http://psx.silvanthalas.com/psx.html</ref>. It requires a BIOS for use, but compatibility with each one is inconsistent. Development has been halted and it remains closed source. It's really only useful for very old toasters.<br />
<br />
For even further in-depth analysis of each emulator on a technical level, check out [[PS1 Tests]].<br />
<br />
It's generally recommended to use Mednafen or PCSX-R. Many use Mednafen for its accuracy at native resolution, and PCSX-R for 3D games (that don't use prerendered backgrounds) because of support for plugins which allow for better graphics quality than original hardware. Unfortunately the best plugins for increasing internal resolution and shader support (Pete OpenGL2 v2.9 and Edgbla gpuBladesoft v1.42a) are closed source and haven't been updated for years.<br />
<br />
===Consoles===<br />
<br />
* POPS (short for PlayStation On PSP System) is the name of the program for the PSP made by Sony for their PSone Classics releases. It utilizes [[PSP Eboots|EBOOTs]], a form of binary file for PSP, instead of bin/cue/etc, which can be made using a converter if desired. Compatibility is very high due to it being made by Sony and the PSP containing a CPU that is very similar to the one found in the PlayStation. This makes it so it isn't purely an emulator, although it does emulate the PS1s GPU. It includes support for multi-disc games (within the one EBOOT). Only native PS1 resolution is supported, with games being stretched as the user wishes to fit the screen. POPS is also available on the PlayStation 2, although compatibility is not as high.<br />
<br />
* PS2PSXe is another PS1 emulator for the PS2. However, this one is unofficial. Compatibility is very low. It is generally recommended to disc swap for the PS2, which in turn will utilize the built-in PS1 hardware available in every PS2. Double swapping (using the same method as a real PS1) is required for PS2s with model numbers SCPH-100xx - SCPH-390xx.<br />
<br />
* PlayStation 3 has a built-in software emulator with high compatibility, as it is used for PSone Classics releases on the system as well as actual PS1 discs.<br />
<br />
* WiiSX is a port of PCSX to the Wii. Compatibility is fairly low due to the weak power of the Wii. This plus the lack of updates to the emulator makes it generally not worth using.<br />

==Emulation issues==<br />
<br />
[[File:Cheryl_compared.png|thumb|350px|Left showing native resolution and unblended dithering. Right showing HD and no dithering.]]<br />
[[File:Ps1_jitter.gif|thumb|left|Example of jittering in PS1 games, which is more noticeable when emulating at higher internal resolutions. (Click to play)]]<br />
Several problems occur when running PS1 games, and they become more noticeable at resolutions higher than native internal resolution when using plugins which can increase it like Edgbla's GpuBladesoft, Pete's OpenGL2 and GSDX. Though they're still apparent at native, the low resolution's aliasing and blurriness kills almost any visibility, hiding the issues.<br />
<br />
Jittering polygons are caused by low-precision fixed-point (to the native resolution) math. Plugins can attempt to fix this ([[Recommended_PSX_Plugins#Video|GTE Accuracy]]), but it often creates holes in seams.<br />
<br />
The PS1 hardware didn't have a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-buffering z-buffer]. The lack of a z-buffer causes things like polygons popping over others. Tekken character limbs are a good example to see that. It's theoretically possible to implement z-buffer in PS1 emulators/GPU plugins.<ref>[https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://forum.emu-russia.net/viewtopic.php?p=17237 gpuBladeSoft discussion]</ref><br />
<br />
No texture perspective correction causes distortion to texture angles at certain viewing angles, notably at the bottom near the camera. This could be mitigated with modern texture filtering methods along with perspective-correct texture mapping if implemented into PS1 emulators/GPU plugins.<br />

== Assumption of "Computers" category? ==<br />
<br />
There's a list under a "Computers" category. Perhaps this is known, '''but all video game consoles are computers.''' A 1978 calculator is a computer. The TVs that your parents watched when they were kids were computers(most likely). I think this is kind of differentiating people's ideas of what "computer" means, and is not a good way to describe "non-gaming purpose" computers.<br />
<br />
This, I feel, further dumbs down the general populations' knowledge of technology by calling 'X' a computer, but then telling them their smartphone or such is a "phone, not a 'PC/computer!'" <br />
<br />
Perhaps I should give some better replacements:<br />
<br />
"Non-gaming computer emulators",<br />
<br />
"Emulators for non-consoles",<br />
<br />
"Old system emulators", or<br />
<br />
"Emulators for non-game consoles".<br />
<br />
:What about "Personal Computers"? Most people think of desktop, multi-purpose computers when they hear this. --[[User:Swarhog|Swarhog]] ([[User talk:Swarhog|talk]]) 17:20, 28 July 2014 (EDT)<br />
<br />
:Seems pedantic. Sure consoles, calculators, phones, etc. are computers, but you place a phone, SNES, and personal computer/home computer/desktop PC/whatever next to each other and then ask someone to turn on the 'Computer', they're not gonna touch the phone or the SNES.<br>"Non-gaming computer emulators" - plenty of people gamed on their DOS computers. "Emulators for non-consoles" - even 'console' is fairly ambiguous when talking about something like the MSX or Commodore. "Old system emulators" - a SNES is an old system. "Emulators for non-game consoles" - see one and two.<br>They're computers.--[[User:SonofUgly|SonofUgly]] ([[User talk:SonofUgly|talk]]) 17:54, 28 July 2014 (EDT)<br />
<br />
Ok ... how about "Other Emulators" then? A Nintendo Handheld can be just as much as a "personal computer" as an Amiga/Commodore 64 once was.<br />
<br />
:Or how about Computers/PCs, as that's what everyone calls them by? No one calls a GameBoy a personal computer. --[[User:SonofUgly|SonofUgly]] ([[User talk:SonofUgly|talk]]) 16:50, 30 July 2014 (EDT)<br />
:: ^ This. As the Wikipedia says "''(...) The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed for consumers to use for playing video games on a separate television in contrast to arcade machines, handheld game consoles, or home computers.''"; Or my dictionary "''games console: A small electronic device for playing computerized video games.''" --[[User:Jackos|Jackos]] ([[User talk:Jackos|talk]]) 17:44, 30 July 2014 (EDT)<br />
<br />
I'm a bit disappointed to see that nobody is getting where I'm coming from. I am aware of what most people call them, but the terminology is what I propose that we go against and come up with a new way of describing these computers without making anything contrasting/different to them as "less of a computer" in the eyes of society. When someone says their smartphone is not a computer, that's someone ignorant to what a computer is (or what defines as a computer). When we further that agenda here we are just fueling that same mindset that's wrong. This is why I said let's come up with a way of categorizing these systems in a way that doesn't reflect negatively on the view of what constitutes a computer in the other categories. Just because "everyone says 'X' things are 'Y'" doesn't mean we should stray along with common beliefs. Just consider this: Is Playstation 3 a computer? Yep. It has a microprocessor, RAM, a GPU. Does your "PC" have a microprocessor, RAM, and a GPU? Yep. Based on the latter, we can confirm that Playstation 3 is no less a computer than your desktop build ... or Gameboy Color ... or Atari even (same fundamentals, just with very limited resources). Do you consider your PS3, Vita, etc. to be "personal"? If you do, it's technically a "personal computer". This is why I'm arguing semantics here where it counts. The "PC" has no real meaning/definition ... find me one that defines what exactly makes something a "PC" and what makes it not one. People often consider "anything sitting on their desk that runs Windows" to be a PC, even though plenty of us know that OS X is compiled for the exact same architecture, has drivers for the same GPUs, and has a platform almost identical to that Windows/Linux/etc. runs on. It's just a thought, of course.<br />
<br />
: I also found this: http://curiosity.discovery.com/question/what-term-personal-computer "General operation by a single user." That tells us that the way most people think of it is not historically correct. You can research what IBM considered "PC" to mean, and how that has evolved and misled millions of people now who think "PC" constitutes form factor or don't even know what the hell it means ... just that they know it means whatever the "smarter" person tells them it means. This is why I feel that terminology matters more than bullet-biting and just using the "common" (and also wrongly believed) terminology for it.<br />

== Is the FAQ section getting crowded? ==<br />
For example the 'CRT monitors' 'CRT TVs' pages can just go into the 'Display FAQ' page because this seems pretty redundant, and the 'PSP Eboots' page seems pretty pointless as is too, I would just put a section about converting PS1 games to Eboots in the 'Ripping Games' page since we have that already, the rest of the 'PSP Eboots' page are just download links so put those in 'ROM/ISO Sites' page. Just some ideas for cleaning up the FAQs section. --[[User:Special|Special]]<br />

== Making a clean break with a new community: ==<br />
<br />
I think 4chan's /vg/ is a bad place. We should start anew. 8Khan allows you to make your own boards. I've made an Emulation board on there for us:<br />
<br />
http://8ch.net/emulation/res/1.html<br />
<br />

:Nah. This is still the emugen wiki.<br />
:This thing will blow over eventually. Until then, learn to filter. --[[User:SonofUgly|SonofUgly]] ([[User talk:SonofUgly|talk]]) 20:20, 27 April 2015 (EDT)<br />
<br />
It's not just the Rachel thing. EmuGen used to be one of the only Generals on /vg/ that was actually what it was supposed to do. Slow and on topic. Then came the drama, the flamewars, the trolls, just all sorts of bullshit. It's not ending. That's why I just want to make a clean break. Emulation is big enough for its own board. 8khan is a niche site now, but let's see if we can make it grow. <br />
<br />
Part of the problems are the "General" format itself. It works like an IRC chat room. Tends to be clique-y, with the same people over and over again. Identities get known. People sit and troll and wait for <br />
<br />
A true board is better. Each thread for an actual topic or question. I'm sick of 4chan and 4chan culture. I want to make imageboards how they are supposed to be. "Anonymous" names were used to avoid forum drama. But it's just being usd as an invitation to trolling and bullshit.--[[User:8KhanBaron|8KhanBaron]] ([[User talk:8KhanBaron|talk]]) 20:42, 27 April 2015 (EDT)<br />
<br />
:When an emugen was created on the first 8chan bubble it was the exact same thing, people bitching and starting drama over 4chan's emugen. If 8chan got popular and the emulation board took off, it'd be the same shit. It's just how a lot of people are in the emulation community.<br />
:And 8chan just isn't big enough, you might get a few people interested and posting for a day or two, but just like the emugen thread before, and the emugen board before, interest will quickly die off.<br />

<br />
I think case-insensitive search should get implemented here. Considering that emulator names are often a bit of a mess of letters in different cases and sometimes spelling there isn't even standardized clearly, this is a necessary change.

He was just balancing (in an assertive way, I guess...) some overly positive sentence about mGBA in the GBA page that was simply hyperbole (emulator is still WIP and still not that optimized according to the author, calling it the "best" is just wrong) and then people were calling him autist for some fucking reason and then it turned to a shit slinging battle-of-egos festival (which ones are worthy of being "recommended", and stuff like that). We then modified the pages from "emulator x sucks" to a list of pros and cons that would be much more useful, in a way all involved agreed on.<br />
<br />
In fact Special was rather helpful in pointing inaccuracies in these articles - for example, mGBA has motion control emulation but '''can't''' in current builds because the input GUI isn't implemented yet, and it turns out VBA-M does e-Reader and in the case of the Wii GX port - motion control/solar like mGBA, and so on. The slowdown/synch issues might be due to a weak CPU, since unlike VBA-M, mGBA doesn't have a hardware renderer yet. I concur he could have presented it a bit better, but his intervention was ultimately very useful to correcting stuff that was factually incorrect here.<br />

:I'm deeply touched of your white knighting, and your skills at it are quite good, but please save your breath, /gen/ gonna /gen/, they look for drama and anything that goes against a popular opinion is a good target for it. But don't you worry, I'll continue to call out all the retards on their retardedness and challenge all their stupid ass shit edits on this wiki if I think I need too, if it makes them mad, good. I also have no idea why this Talk page became so popular all of a sudden, but if it's related to something from the general, well I haven't been keeping up with it in weeks, so it wasn't me. PS. Why is that Randomizer guy such a huge faggot? --[[User:Special|The Great Martyr of /Emugen/]]<br />
:: And to be a little bit more clear, it takes just one biased anonymous shill to come on here and recommend their emulator of choice (a devs would love the extra epeen), or because some end user made a issue report one time and the dev responded to it, they now have some special feelings towards said emulator or some shit and need to recommend it. I saw mGBA get changed to recommended so I gave it a whirl, and guess what it sucks shit and it still does, doesn't play and full speeds and lacks any kind of options its competitors have, so naturally I challenged that shills recommendation, and all he could do was post, then repost and probably even rerepost that huge fuck-off feature list taken from the devs own website, it's not even like 97% of that feature list is exclusive to mGBA which makes it even more pointless, nice tryharding there you shill fuck, to bad I guess you lost though. Oh and I would still be challenging this if that one guy hadn't written up a fairly decent 'fair' comparison on it, even though it's still to in favored for mGBA IMO. (Note: I do not give a shit about the devs behind something aka that squall asshole, nor do I give a shit about some feature list road-map of planned things that are supposed to be.) --[[User:Special|The Great Martyr of /Emugen/]]<br />

<br />
The '''[[gametech:PlayStation|PlayStation]]''' (known shorthand as PS1 or PSX) is a 5th generation console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment in 1994. It was a commercial success in part to being relatively easy to program for compared to others at the time, and because its CD based media was cheaper than the competition.<br />

<br />
===Comparisons===<br />
===PC===<br />
<br />
* [[Mednafen|Mednafen PSX]] is an emulator focused on [[accuracy]]. It is extremely compatible, outdoing even Sony's official PSone emulator in accuracy tests. Do note if you find an exception, though. It requires a very specific BIOS for each region. The minimum system requirement is a Core 2 Duo at 2 GHz clock. Mednafen itself is command line only and has no GUI. There are external GUI launchers available.<br />
<br />
* [[RetroArch]] has Mednafen PSX as an emulation core and includes its own API features such as superior sync, robust shader support, and an in-game GUI/menu OSD. It's much easier to use than the standalone version, so it's recommended.<br />
<br />
* [[BizHawk]] has a PSX core based on Mednafen's. It focuses on core accuracy, ease of use, and features that will help with the creation of Tool Assisted Speedruns.<br />
<br />
* [[EPSXe|ePSXe]] is a fairly standard plugin-based emulator. However, it's closed source, so it only gets updates from the main developers. These come sporadically, with some updates being spaced out by more than a year's time. This leads to it being relatively outdated compared to other PlayStation emulators. Since version 1.8.0, ePSXe has been available on Android as a premium (paid) app.<br />
<br />
* [[PCSX-R]] is actively developed and is open source. Like ePSXe, it is also a plugin-based emulator. It has several enhanced features that ePSXe lacks, as well as support for superior [[Recommended_PSX_Plugins|plugins]], such as LilyPad. Post any issues you find on their [https://pcsxr.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic issue tracker]. The Windows version is largely unmaintained and lacks some newer features that the OS X/Linux versions have.<br />
<br />
* PCSX-ReARMed is essentially the ARM version of PCSX-R, sharing a similar core, but optimized for portable handheld devices. Its biggest draw is its NEON software renderer, which is both fast and accurate, and has the ability to render at a higher resolution without resorting to HLE plugins.<br />
<br />
* [[XEBRA]] has very high compatibility. Games that require subchannel data are not supported, but most other games run flawlessly. Obtuse user interface as the developer is Japanese, so be prepared. XEBRA requires a BIOS, but an alternate build of it called ARBEX doesn't require one.<br />
<br />
* [[No$|NO$PSX]] is a well-rounded emulator by the same author of [[No$|NO$GBA]]. There are two versions of the emulator; standard users will want to use the cut-down gaming version. It offers decent compatibility with very low spec requirements – the programmer's philosophy is to deliver a working application out of the box. As of today, it's still being developed. PocketStation is emulated through [[No$|NO$GBA]].<br />
<br />
* [[PSX|PSXfin]] is a simple emulator with simple usage. It has a lot of compatibility issues<ref name="psXcompat">http://psx.silvanthalas.com/psx.html</ref>. It requires a BIOS for use, but compatibility with each one is inconsistent. Development has been halted and it remains closed source. It's really only useful for very old toasters.<br />
<br />
For even further in-depth analysis of each emulator on a technical level, check out [[PS1 Tests]].<br />
<br />
It's generally recommended to use Mednafen or PCSX-R. Many use Mednafen for its accuracy at native resolution, and PCSX-R for 3D games because of support for plugins which allow for better graphics quality than original hardware. Unfortunately the best plugins for increasing internal resolution and shader support (Pete OpenGL2 v2.9 and Edgbla gpuBladesoft v1.42a) are closed source and haven't been updated for years.<br />
<br />
===Consoles===<br />
<br />
* POPS (short for PlayStation On PSP System) is the name of the program for the PSP made by Sony for their PSN releases of PS1 games. It utilizes [[PSP Eboots|EBOOTs]], a form of binary file for PSP, instead of bin/cue/etc, which can be made using a converter if desired. Compatibility is very high due to it being made by Sony and the PSP containing a CPU that is very similar to the one found in the PlayStation. This makes it so it isn't purely an emulator, although it does emulate the PS1s GPU. It includes support for multi-disc games (within the one EBOOT). Only native PS1 resolution is supported, with games being stretched as the user wishes to fit the screen. POPS is also available on the PlayStation 2, although compatibility is not as high. The official method of installation was on a hard drive.<br />
<br />
* PS2PSXe is another PS1 emulator for the PS2, however, this one is unofficial. Compatibility is very low. It is generally recommended to disc swap for the PS2, which in turn will utilize the built-in PS1 hardware available in every PS2. Double swapping (using the same method as a real PS1) is required for PS2s with model numbers SCPH-100xx - SCPH-390xx.<br />
<br />
* PlayStation 3 has a built-in software emulator with high compatibility, as it is used for PSN releases of PS1 games, not unlike the PSP.<br />
<br />
* WiiSX is a port of PCSX to the Wii. Compatibility is fairly low due to the weak power of the Wii, plus the lack of updates to this emulator mean that it generally isn't worth using. Still the best PS1 emulator on Wii, though, which isn't saying much.<br />
<br />
==Emulation issues==<br />
<br />
[[File:Cheryl_compared.png|thumb|350px|Left showing native resolution and unblended dithering. Right showing HD and no dithering.]]<br />
[[File:Ps1_jitter.gif|thumb|left|Example of jittering in PS1 games, which is more noticeable when emulating at higher internal resolutions. (Click to play)]]<br />
Several problems occur when running PS1 games, and they become more noticeable at resolutions higher than native internal resolution when using plugins which can increase it like Edgbla's GpuBladesoft, Pete's OpenGL2 and GSDX. Though they're still apparent at native, the low resolution's aliasing and blurriness kills almost any visibility, hiding the issues.<br />
<br />
Jittering polygons are caused by low-precision fixed-point (to the native resolution) math. Plugins can attempt to fix this ([[Recommended_PSX_Plugins#Video|GTE Accuracy]]), but it often creates holes in seams.<br />
<br />
The PS1 hardware didn't have a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-buffering z-buffer]. The lack of a z-buffer causes things like polygons popping over others. Tekken character limbs are a good example to see that. It's theoretically possible to implement z-buffer in PS1 emulators/GPU plugins.<ref>[https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&u=http://forum.emu-russia.net/viewtopic.php?p=17237 gpuBladeSoft discussion]</ref><br />
<br />
No texture perspective correction causes distortion to texture angles at certain viewing angles, notably at the bottom near the camera. This could be mitigated with modern texture filtering methods along with perspective-correct texture mapping if implemented into PS1 emulators/GPU plugins.<br />
<br />
==Resources==<br />

<hr />
<div>Here is a simple guide for the steps one should take to try to resolve your problems.<br />
<br />
==Steps to take==<br />
<br />
===1. Update to latest version===<br />
Emulators can have stable builds that are weeks, months, and sometimes even years old. The "stable" version is often times just a randomly picked dev version. That is why the latest dev versions should be preferred. This could solve emulation issues most of the time. Links to dev builds can be found at the pages for [[PCSX-Reloaded|PCSX-R]], [[PCSX2]], [[Dolphin]], [[nullDC]], [[DeSmuMe|DeSmuME]] and [[PPSSPP]].<br />
<br />
===2. Change settings===<br />
If you're using a plugin based emulator, graphical glitches and sound issues might be solved by changing the settings.<br />
*[[Recommended_PSX_Plugins|PS1 Plugins]]<br />
*[[Recommended_N64_Plugins|N64 Plugins]]<br />
If you're using '''Dolphin''', try switching the graphics back end between OpenGL and Direct3D, and the sound between HLE and LLE. <br />
<br />
For '''PCSX2''', check the [[PCSX2#Issues|issues section of it's wiki page]].<br />
<br />
===3. Review these FAQs:===<br />
*[[Emulator Problems FAQ]]<br />
*[[Game problems FAQ|Game Problems FAQ]]<br />
<br />
===4. Check for known issues===<br />
There are resources available for emulators which lists the common known issues with games, and the solutions.<br />

*[http://forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=1473 PPSSPP Compatibility List]<br />
*[http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=Category:Compatibility_Lists libretro Core compatibility lists]<br />
<br />
===5. Check the archives===<br />
Sometimes, questions may have been asked and answered multiple times in the past. Check the [{{ArchiveURL}} Emulation General archives].<br />
<br />
===6. Read the wiki===<br />
The [[Main Page|rest of the wiki]] may have information you need.<br />
<br />
===7. Ask Emulation General===<br />
If you still can't find a solution, ask Emulation General. Provide relevant details such as:<br />
*System specs, including CPU and GPU<br />
*Operating system<br />
*Emulator and version<br />
*Emulator settings/plugins<br />
*System and game emulated<br />
*The problem itself. Do not forget that, because if you do then what comes out makes no sense whatsoever.<br />

<br />
===Official Sony Emulators===<br />
Main article: [[Official Sony Emulators#Emulators on Playstation 3|Official Sony Emulators → Emulators on Playstation 3]]<br />
<br />
====PS2====<br />
You can emulate PS2 games on any model of the PS3 using ''ps2_netemu'' (Sony's own software-based PS2 emulator, also known as the "PS2 Classics Emulator"), which was developed for playing the PS2 games sold on PSN. It was never meant to be used as a general-purpose emulator, which means you really shouldn't be expecting perfect compatibility with games it hasn't been specifically optimized for, but many titles are playable. Refer to the PSHomebrew's [http://www.pshomebrew.net/wiki/PS2_Classics_Emulator_Compatibility_List PS2 Classics compatibility list] for per-game info.<br />
<br />
Note that if you own an old backwards-compatible PS3 unit, and it for whatever reason hasn't broken yet, you'll rather want to be using ''ps2_emu'' - the emulator that's launched when you put a PS2 game disc into the console. Unlike ps2_netemu, this one utilizes the extra PS2 hardware integrated in your console and has much better compatibility. ps2_emu is only usable on ''COBRA'' firmwares, meaning custom firmwares that integrate the functionality that was previously only available for those who bought the DRM'd Cobra dongle. Refer to Wikipedia's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_3_backward_compatible_PlayStation_2_and_PlayStation_games PS3 backward compatibility list] for per-game info.<br />
<br />
====PSP====<br />
PSP games also work on PS3 through an emulator created for playing "PS3 Minis" from PSN, but compatibility is very limited (less than that of PPSSPP). Refer to PSHomebrew's [http://www.pshomebrew.net/wiki/PSP_On_PS3_Compatibility_List PSP on PS3 compatibility list] for per-game info.<br />
<br />
==Other useful info==<br />
You can connect to PSN while on CFW, but there is a high risk that your PSN ID and Console ID will be banned. There is a way to unban a console. It requires someone else's Console ID and it can be banned too.</div>YOU'RE MOMhttps://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php?title=General_problems_FAQ&diff=7454General problems FAQ2014-09-16T15:48:12Z<p>YOU'RE MOM: /* 6. Read the wiki */ we're on a wiki, use markup</p>
<hr />
<div>Here is a simple guide for the steps one should take to try to resolve your problems.<br />
<br />
==Steps to take==<br />
<br />
===1. Update to latest version===<br />
Emulators can have stable builds that are weeks, months, and sometimes even years old. The "stable" version is often times just a randomly picked dev version. That is why the latest dev versions should be preferred. This could solve emulation issues most of the time. Links to dev builds can be found at the pages for [[PCSX-Reloaded|PCSX-R]], [[PCSX2]], [[Dolphin]], [[nullDC]], [[DeSmuMe|DeSmuME]] and [[PPSSPP]].<br />
<br />
===2. Change settings===<br />
If you're using a plugin based emulator, graphical glitches and sound issues might be solved by changing the settings.<br />
*[[Recommended_PSX_Plugins|PS1 Plugins]]<br />
*[[Recommended_N64_Plugins|N64 Plugins]]<br />
If you're using '''Dolphin''', try switching the graphics back end between OpenGL and Direct3D, and the sound between HLE and LLE. <br />
<br />
For '''PCSX2''', check the [[PCSX2#Issues|issues section of it's wiki page]].<br />
<br />
===3. Review these FAQs:===<br />
*[[Emulator Problems FAQ]]<br />
*[[Game problems FAQ|Game Problems FAQ]]<br />
<br />
===4. Check for known issues===<br />
There are resources available for emulators which lists the common known issues with games, and the solutions.<br />

*[http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=Category:Compatibility_Lists libretro Core compatibility lists]<br />
<br />
===5. Check the archives===<br />
Sometimes, questions may have been asked and answered multiple times in the past. Check the Emulation General archives.<br />
*[http://archive.foolz.us/vg/ Foolz archive of /vg/]<br />
*[https://archive.foolz.us/vg/search/subject/emulation%20general/ Previous threads]<br />
<br />
===6. Read the wiki===<br />
The [[Main Page|rest of the wiki]] may have information you need.<br />
<br />
===7. Ask Emulation General===<br />
If you still can't find a solution, ask Emulation General. Provide relevant details such as:<br />
*System specs, including CPU and GPU<br />
*Operating system<br />
*Emulator and version<br />
*Emulator settings/plugins<br />
*System and game emulated<br />
*The problem itself. Do not forget that, because if you do then what comes out makes no sense whatsoever.<br />

<br />
<br />
==Nintendo==<br />
===Game Boy Advance===<br />
<br />
[https://www.mediafire.com/?zzkw74c1kzobedj TempGBA4PSP]<br />
<br />
TempGBA4PSP is the most recent GBA emulator for the PSP, and has superior compatibility with most problematic games (Golden Sun, for example).<br />
<br />
===Game Boy / Color===<br />

<br />
AoEX is based on NesterJ 1.12 Plus 0.61 RM, so it includes features like rewind mode, cheat codes support, rotated/mirrored screen, sepia palette, support to rare mappers (the pirate bootleg FF7 works on it), etc, but its compatibility is inferior to 1.13 beta2.<br />
<br />

<div>First off, '''you must have a PS3 on system firmware 3.55 or lower, to mod it.''' If you are on a lower firmware, simply [http://www.mediafire.com/?sm8kd6liqzj3jo5 upgrade to 3.55]. However, if you're on a higher firmware, you must downgrade using a ''hardware flasher''. Below is table for what models are downgradable and what flashers can be used on those models:<br />

All fat models are downgradable. If you have a [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NAND NAND] model (CECH-A to CECH-G) use Teensy++ and if you have a [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Flash_%28Hardware%29#NOR NOR] model (CECH-H to CECH-Q or any downgradable slim PS3) use E3 Flasher. For downgrading you should follow a tutorial: [http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=39766 Using Teensy++/Progskeet] or [http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=33989 Using E3 Flasher]<br />
<br />
Once you are on FW 3.55 you'll have to enter Factory Service Mode, to do that either [http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=33989 follow this] (see Chapter 2, Part 1), or use one of [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Talk:Downgrading_with_PSgrade_Dongle these devices].<br />

<br />
==Emulation==<br />
[[RetroArch]] has a PS3 port with lots of working cores that should cover most of the usual suspects.<br />
<br />
You can emulate PS2 games on any model of the PS3 using ''ps2_netemu'' (Sony's own software-based PS2 emulator, also known as the "PS2 Classics Emulator"), which was developed for playing the PS2 games sold on PSN. It was never meant to be used as a general-purpose emulator, which means you really shouldn't be expecting perfect compatibility with games it hasn't been specifically optimized for, but many titles are playable. Refer to the PSHomebrew's [http://www.pshomebrew.net/wiki/PS2_Classics_Emulator_Compatibility_List PS2 Classics compatibility list] for per-game info.<br />
<br />
Note that if you own an old backwards-compatible PS3 unit, and it for whatever reason hasn't broken yet, you'll rather want to be using ''ps2_emu'' - the emulator that's launched when you put a PS2 game disc into the console. Unlike ps2_netemu, this one utilizes the extra PS2 hardware integrated in your console and has much better compatibility. ps2_emu is only usable on ''COBRA'' firmwares, meaning custom firmwares that integrate the functionality that was previously only available for those who bought the DRM'd Cobra dongle. Refer to Wikipedia's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_3_backward_compatible_PlayStation_2_and_PlayStation_games PS3 backward compatibility list] for per-game info.<br />
<br />
PSP games also work on PS3 through an emulator created for playing "PS3 Minis" from PSN, but compatibility is very limited (less than that of PPSSPP). Refer to PSHomebrew's [http://www.pshomebrew.net/wiki/PSP_On_PS3_Compatibility_List PSP on PS3 compatibility list] for per-game info.<br />
<br />
==Other useful info==<br />
You can connect to PSN while on CFW, but there is a high risk that your PSN ID and Console ID will be banned. There is a way to unban a console. It requires someone else's Console ID and it can be banned too.</div>YOU'RE MOMhttps://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php?title=Libretro&diff=7450Libretro2014-09-16T14:55:30Z<p>YOU'RE MOM: /* External Links */</p>

<div>'''libretro''' is an API designed mainly for games and emulators. It allows games and emulators to be compiled as dynamically linked libraries known as "libretro cores", which can be used in a frontend that implements libretro, such as [[RetroArch]].<br />
