PCSX-Reloaded is an enhancement-focused, plugin-based PlayStation emulator.

Downloads

• Windows Dev Builds
• OS X Dev Builds
• Launchpad Repo (Ubuntu)

Overview

PCSX-R is the best choice if you want to play 3D games at higher resolutions. If you encounter glitches or you're emulating a 2D game, use Mednafen instead. Check Recommended PSX Plugins for plugin configurations.Hovewer Windows version is currently unmaintained and has inferior feature set </ref> so if you are on Windows ePSXe may be better.

Advantages over ePSXe (in progress):

• Native multitrack Cue sheet support
• Disk tray opening and closing for games that require it
• A widescreen hack in the CPU options (3D games only)
• Controller plugin support
• Compatibility with anti-jitter options in graphics plugins, such as GTE accuracy in the default plugin, or Improved coordinate accuracy in gpuBladeSoft.
• OS X support

Issues

Keybinds in lilypad

I use PCSX-R with LilyPad, but the esc key and various others don't work!

In the keyboard Input API (radio buttons in the top left of the LilyPad options), choose raw input.

Changing discs

Some games (like Final Fantasy) allow you to save in the "Disc Change screen". For games that don't allow that (like Metal Gear Solid), disc switching can be a bit tricky:

1. Press F9 to open Disc tray
2. Press Esc to go to PCSX-R menu
3. Emulator → Switch ISO...
4. Emulator → Run
5. Press F10 to close Disc tray

OS X disc switching

The process for switching discs on OS X is slightly different:

1. Go to File → Eject…
2. For physical CDs:
   1. The physical CD will eject.
   2. Replace the CD that was ejected.
   3. Close the drive: PCSX-R will wait for a new CD to be inserted and resume when a new one is available. NOTE: The current release version does not wait for a new CD. An svn build will work better.
3. ​For ISOs:
   1. ​A file selection window will come up.
   2. Select your new ISO.
   3. Click the "Open" button.
