 '''[[wikipedia:PCSX-Reloaded|PCSX-Reloaded]]''', also known as '''PCSX-R''' or '''PCSXR''', is an a discontinued open-source, plugin-based [[PlayStation emulators|PlayStation emulator]].

'''PCSX-Reloaded''' is was once the best choice if you want to play 3D games at higher resolutionsand with other enhancements, using the configuration at [[Recommended PS1 Plugins]]. If you encounter glitches or you're emulating a 2D gameHowever, use increased internal resolution and PGXP are now available in [[DuckStation]] and the RetroArch fork of [[Mednafen]] instead.Check It is also less accurate than Mednafen or [[Recommended PS1 PluginsXEBRA]] , which were previously recommended over it for plugin configurations2D games, so the only advantage of PCSX-Reloaded now is its speed on older systems that only support OpenGL.

The '''PGXP''' fork<ref name="RetroCollect">{{cite web|url=http://www.retrocollect.com/News/perspective-correction-comes-to-sony-playstation-emulation-via-pcsxr-pgxp.html|title=Perspective Correction Comes To Sony PlayStation Emulation Via PCSXR-PGXP|publisher=RetroCollect|accessdate=2018-08-10|date=2016-05-17}}</ref> adds texture perspective correction, reduced polygon culling, and reduced polygon jitter (more so than mainline PCSX-Reloaded's GTE hack). Mainline has a major issue where a hack written for WipeOut causes slowdowns in many games. This is fixed by making the hack an option (in CPU settings; off by default), and also adds an option for CPU overclocking. It is recommended to '''use this fork until mainline fixes this issueinstead of the main upstream version'''.

'''PCSX ReARMed''' is a fork of '''PCSX Reloaded''' and only available on mobile devices as a libretro core (e.g. [[RetroArch]]). It differs from the Reloaded version in that it has special optimizations for systems that have an ARM architecture-based CPU. It is available to run on various handheld consoles with fairly strong specifications (Think 2010's-onwards) like the [[PlayStation_Vita_emulators|Sony PlayStation Vita]], [[Nintendo_3DS_emulators|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Nintendo_Switch_emulators|Nintendo Switch]]. This emulator in the libretro build initially used the P.E.Op.S. graphics plugin (reasonably accurate, but slow) from around 2010 to 2019; now it uses a port of PCSX4ALL's Unai renderer, which is less accurate, but much faster (eg. 10-20fps faster) in normal situations, aside from FMVs, loading, and special effects. Following that, the CHD compression format, that shrinks disc images into more manageable sizes, has been enabled on this emulator on RetroArch (And later on 3DS), and these images will load and run much faster than '.bin/.cue' files - greatly reducing framerate dips, i.e. in FMVs & loading zones.<ref name="RA-3DS_Full-speed-PS1">{{cite web|url=https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-3ds-full-speed-ps1-now-possible-with-pcsx-rearmed-w-unai-renderer/|title=RetroArch 3DS: Full speed PS1 now possible with PCSX ReARMed w/ Unai renderer!|publisher=Libretro|accessdate=2019-09-26|date=September 25, 2019}}</ref>
