Overview[edit]
DuckStation is designed for playability and speed, with the goal of being as accurate as possible while maintaining performance on a broad range of devices. The default configuration is intended to support all playable games, with only some of the enhancements having compatibility issues. 64-bit CPUs are required for maximum performance using the recompiler.
DuckStation was used as a testing ground for code that would be added to Dolphin.[1] stenzek has even said the UI was pulled directly from Dolphin, since it was "designed in conjunction with actual UI/UX people".[2]
The Qt frontend includes an automatic update checker. Builds downloaded after 2020/08/07 will automatically check for updates each time the emulator starts, this can be disabled in Settings. Alternatively, you can force an update check by clicking Help → Check for Updates.
