Consoles: Extra tidying, used some official terminology.
===Consoles===
* POPS (short for PlayStation On PSP System) is the name of the program for the PSP made by Sony for their PSN PSone Classics releases of PS1 games. It utilizes [[PSP Eboots|EBOOTs]], a form of binary file for PSP, instead of bin/cue/etc, which can be made using a converter if desired. Compatibility is very high due to it being made by Sony and the PSP containing a CPU that is very similar to the one found in the PlayStation. This makes it so it isn't purely an emulator, although it does emulate the PS1s GPU. It includes support for multi-disc games (within the one EBOOT). Only native PS1 resolution is supported, with games being stretched as the user wishes to fit the screen. POPS is also available on the PlayStation 2, although compatibility is not as high. The official method of installation was on a hard drive.
* PS2PSXe is another PS1 emulator for the PS2, however. However, this one is unofficial. Compatibility is very low. It is generally recommended to disc swap for the PS2, which in turn will utilize the built-in PS1 hardware available in every PS2. Double swapping (using the same method as a real PS1) is required for PS2s with model numbers SCPH-100xx - SCPH-390xx.
* PlayStation 3 has a built-in software emulator with high compatibility, as it is used for PSN PSone Classics releases of PS1 games, not unlike on the PSPsystem.
* WiiSX is a port of PCSX to the Wii. Compatibility is fairly low due to the weak power of the Wii, . This plus the lack of updates to this the emulator mean that makes it generally isn't not worth using. Still the best PS1 emulator on Wii, though, which isn't saying much.
