'''PCSX-Reloaded''' is one of the few open-source [[PlayStation emulators|PlayStation]] emulators that doesn't require a plugin-based system. It is still in active development.

==Overview==
Avocado is currently in an infant state of maturity and only a few dozens of games are verified to work in-game or load up something. For more mature emulators, 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.

For now, only the lead programmer works on it, but check the [https://github.com/JaCzekanski/Avocado/branches branches] page to see more recent activity.

Despite this emulator being in early development, some 3D games can run.
*[https://github.com/JaCzekanski/Avocado/wiki/Compability Game compability list].

There is currently no SPU (no sound except simple in-game Audio CDs) or MDEC (black screen instead of movies). The timer implementation does not function properly (games fail to boot or run at wrong speed).

==Running==
Avocado requires the BIOS from real console in the data/bios directory. Selection of a BIOS rom will be required on the first run. The ROM can be changed under Options->BIOS or by modifying the config.json file.

Avocado doesn't support fast booting. UniROM can be used as a work around. Place the .rom file in the data/bios directory and modify config.json:

<code>"extension": "data/bios/unirom_caetlaNTSC_plugin.rom"</code>

Press the Start button (Enter by default) to fastboot, or R2 (keypad *) to slowboot a game. You can run the included Playstation firmware replacement Caetla with the Select button (Right shift) then run the .exe directly from the disk.

To load a .cue/.bin/.img file just drag and drop it.

==Keybinds==
*Space - pause/resume emulation
*F1 - hide GUI
*F2 - soft reset
*F7 - single frame
*Tab - disable framelimiting
*Q - toggle full VRAM preview
*R - dump RAM and SPU RAM to file

Avocado maps any Xbox360-like controller to the Playstation Controller. A keyboard can also be used (modify the keymap under Options->Controller).

==Issues==
This emulator is not very mature yet!
