It focuses on accuracy and only outputs in native resolution. It is not currently being updated however.
It is one of the only PS1 PlayStation emulators to include compatibility with [[PocketStation emulators|PocketStation]].

==Overview==
XEBRA has an accurate core, but its audio/visual output methods are problematic. Motion can be jittery.<br />Fullscreen with multiple monitors is often buggy, while requiring you to set the resolution each time, as far as I know.<br />Aspect ratio control is manual.<br />The only scaling methods are nearest and bilinear.<br />The audio is crackly and poppy running full speed with default settings. The setting needs to be changed to fix this.
The checkered dithering overlay from 16bit downscaling is much, much stronger than it should be. Far stronger than what a real PlayStation on a high-quality CRT TV over SCART would display.
==Overview==Then there's the interface. Even after you're used to it, it's still not comfortable to use.

And often just sounds wrong here and there, like volume/tone jerks and shita noticeable improvement regarding jitter on 2D games.
The checkered dithering overlay from 16bit downscaling ==Problems and solutions==For those with audio cracking issues with XEBRA set the I Cache rate to E, the default 0x18 is much, much stronger than it should be. Far stronger than what a real PS1 on a too damn high quality CRT TV over SCART would display.
Then there's the interface. Even after you're used to it, it's still not comfortable to use. ==Using XebraXEBRA==http[https://forumswww.ngemureddit.com/showthread.php?t=140824r/emulation/comments/9a4mwk/xebra_guide_ps1_emulator/ Updated reddit guide]
