'''Avocado''' 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 Reloaded]] 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://avocado-db.czekanski.info/#/ Official Avocado compatibility database] (With customizable options. Listed games include links to their own pages on redump.org.)* [https://literalmente-game.github.io/compatibility_lists/avocado.html literalmente-game's compatibility list] *[https://github.com/JaCzekanski/Avocado/wiki/Compability Game compability list](Obsolete/Wiped). Currently audio is hard synced to NTSC (60Hz) (running PAL games will make audio stutter), and MDEC (black screen instead of movies). The timer implementation does not function properly (games fail to boot or run at the wrong speed).

==Running==
Avocado requires the BIOS from the 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 PlayStation firmware replacement Caetla with the Select button (Right shift) then run the .exe directly from the disk.
To load a [[Cue sheet (.cue)|.cue]]/.bin/.img file just drag and drop it.
==Keybinds==
*R - dump RAM and SPU RAM to file
Avocado maps any Xbox360[[Xbox 360 emulators|Xbox 360]]-like controller to the Playstation PlayStation Controller. A keyboard can also be used (modify the keymap under Options->Controller).
