PCSX-Reloaded - A PlayStation Emulator

Homepage | Disscusions | Issue Tracker

PCSX-Reloaded is a forked version of the dead PCSX emulator, with a nicer interface and several improvements to stability and functionality.

PCSX-Reloaded uses the PSEMU plugin interface to provide most functionality. A number of plugins are provided out of the box.

PCSX-Reloaded has an Internal HLE BIOS that can run many games. However, if you own a real PlayStation, you are able to use your own BIOS image. PCSX-Reloaded will find it in ~/.pcsx/bios/ or /usr/share/psemu/bios/ if you place it there. Using a real BIOS will improve compatibility, especially with certain games and with theuse of memory cards. The following is an incomplete compatibility list of games that need a BIOS file to run without issues: PCSX-Reloaded incomplete HLE compatibility list
