* [[No$|NO$PSX]] has two versions, but standard users will want to use the cut-down gaming version. Made in the same style as [[No$|NO$GBA]], where it handles the PocketStation, it offers decent compatibility with very low spec requirements – the programmer's philosophy is to deliver a working application out of the box. It is still being actively developed.
* [[PSX|PSXfin]] fin is a simpler emulator with a lot of compatibility issues,<ref name="psXcompat">http://psx.silvanthalas.com/psx.html</ref> especially when using different BIOSes. Development has been halted and it remains closed-source. It's really only useful for very old toasters.
* [[Avocado]] is one of the few open-source PSX PS1 emulators that does not require a plugin-based system. It is relatively new on the scene.
* [[MAME]] is a very broad emulator known to support thousands of systems. It has a focus for accuracy, much like Mednafen, but when it comes to the "Sony PlayStation" driver (<code>psj</code>), the developers still call it "preliminary", and have marked it as "Not Working". It can boot to the BIOS and launch games, but much like they say, you can expect bugs, especially between hardware revisions. The MAME project as a whole remains active, but don't expect it to work any time soon.
It's generally recommended to use Mednafen or PCSX-R (or one of its forks). Many use Mednafen for its accuracy at native resolution, and PCSX-R for 3D games (that don't use prerendered backgrounds) because of support for plugins which allow for better graphics quality than original hardware. Unfortunately, the best plugins for increasing internal resolution and shader support (Pete's OpenGL2 v2.9 and Edgbla gpuBladesoft v1.42a) are closed-source and haven't been updated in years.
