==Overview==
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]].<ref>JMC47, Maylmilae. [https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2020/02/07/dolphin-progress-report-dec-2019-and-jan-2020/#50-11524-improve-frame-pacing-by-manually-inserting-duplicate-frames-by-stenzek Dolphin Progress Report]. § ''5.0-11524 - Improve Frame Pacing by Manually Inserting Duplicate Frames by Stenzek''. "As a proof of concept, Stenzek used his Playstation 1 emulator, Duckstation to test a frame pacing solution that involved padding 30 FPS games."</ref> stenzek has even said the UI was pulled directly from Dolphin, since it was "designed in conjunction with actual UI/UX people".<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/jjuhcf/for_playstation_1_emulation_fans_i_made_a_very/gagvsnf/?context=3 stenzek] on Reddit. "Yep it is heavily influenced by Dolphin. I'm terrible at UI/UX design so I borrowed Dolphin's, since it's been designed in conjunction with actual UI/UX people."</ref>
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 Help→Check for Updates.
