Changes

:Quickly became a top contender on the basis that it has high compatibility and a built-in GUI. Its stated goal is to be "as accurate as possible while maintaining performance suitable for low-end devices." While PCSX-R has long dethroned ePSXe in features, DuckStation is the first to address all the shortcomings of plugin-based offerings thus far, as all of its features are available out-of-the-box, and no configuration is necessary to get games running outside of obtaining the original system firmware. The graphics emulation core<!-- is a brand new, from-scratch implementation (todo: verify) and--> has modern enhancements built-in like PGXP, upscaling, texture filtering, emulated CPU overclocking, hardware (D3D11, D3D12, OpenGL, Vulkan) and software rendering (both of which have true color (24-bit) support). It also natively supports MAME's Compressed Hunks of Data (CHD) format (you don't have to extract it), which shrinks the size of CDs losslessly while also storing all of its data under a single file. An Android version is also available, although it doesn't have feature parity with the desktop builds. The unofficial libretro core (swanstation) and standalone version are Retroachievements-compatible.
