* [[Mednafen|Mednafen PSX]] is an emulator focused on [[accuracy]]. It is extremely compatible, outdoing even Sony's official PSone emulator in accuracy tests. Do note if you find an exception, though. It requires a very specific BIOS for each region. The minimum system requirement is a Core 2 Duo at 2 GHz clock. Mednafen itself is command line only and has no GUI. There are external GUI launchers available. Both [[RetroArch]] and [[BizHawk]] have cores based on this emulator. They're easier to use than the standalone emulator thanks to their GUIs. The RetroArch fork of Mednafen PSX (known as Beetle PSX) has several experimental modifications and enhancements not present in the standalone version, including a widescreen hack, CPU overclocking for smoother framerates, and increasing the internal resolution up to 4x. Increasing the resolution carries a heavy performance cost, however, since graphics are rendered in software.
* [[EPSXe|ePSXe]] is a fairly standard plugin-based emulator. However, it's closed source, so it only gets updates from the main developers. These come sporadically, with some updates being spaced out by more than a year's time. This leads to it being relatively outdated compared to other PlayStation emulators. Since version 1.8.0, ePSXe has been available on Android as a premium (paid) app.
