:Was slated to become an open-source, full-system emulator like DuckStation, with the caveat being that it could load games without a BIOS. That never panned out, as development has largely stopped.
====Backwards-compatible PlayStation 2 emulators====
;[[PCSX2]]
:This emulator supports PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility with PlayStation [[PlayStation_2_emulators#Hardware_features_and_accessories|hardware feature]]. However, one thing to note is that backward compatibility in the original PlayStation 2 hardware didn't cover all the games in the PlayStation 1 library, and naturally these limitations carry forward to PCSX2's emulation, on top of that PCSX2's backwards compatibility emulation still not perfect at the moment.

However there is no [[PocketStation_emulators|PocketStation]] communication and [[Official_emulators#PlayStation|ps1_emu]] support at the moment, only ps1_netemu is supported. [https://twitter.com/rpcs3/status/1125179092507201537?lang=en Tweet from 6 May 2019]: "RPCS3 supports Sony's PS1_netemu as of today. PS2emu is not yet supported. Both these emulators are present in the PS3 Firmware for backwards compatibility." [[Official_emulators#PlayStation_2|ps2_emu]] used for PlayStation 2 emulation, [[Official_emulators#PlayStation|ps1_emu]] used for disc based PlayStation games and [https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/issues/14632 ps1_netemu for PlayStation Classics from PSN]. :See [[PlayStation_3_emulators#Hardware_features_and_peripherals|PlayStation 3 emulators hardware features and peripherals section]] for more information.
====Consoles====
* PS2PSXe is an unofficial PS1 emulator for the PS2. However, compatibility is very low. Double disc swapping (using the same method as a real PS1) is required for PS2s with model numbers SCPH-100xx - SCPH-390xx.
* The PlayStation 3 has a built-in software emulator with very high compatibility, which is used for PS1 releases on the PlayStation Store and for handling PlayStation CD-ROM discs.
* WiiSX is a port of PCSX to the Wii. Compatibility is fairly low due to the weak power of the Wii and the differing hardware designs that make PowerPC requirements a little stronger. It's generally not worth using since it doesn't get updated.
