Sony Playstation 1 Emulation Scene
January 18, 2009by Chris
THE SONY PLAYSTATION emulation scene is active throughout a wide array of computers, operating systems, consoles, and handhelds.
Leading the pack is the ePSXe emulator which provides the best experience with near perfect emulation over a wide array of PSX games. The latest release of ePSXe was in 2008 for Windows. A Linux version of ePSXe is also available.
Unfortunately, for the Mac, Playstation 1 emulation has stalled with the demo offering of 'PSX' which does not support plugins nor ISO compatibility (physical disk only). If you want PSX on your Mac then your best bet it to use bootcamp & XP.
The iPhone/touch Playstation scene is strong with the release of PSX4All from ZodTTD. It provides accurate emulation and good frame rates for the jailbroken devices. Note that PSX4All is not yet available for the iPod touch second generation as a public jailbreak has not been released from the Dev Team. 'redsn0w' will hopefully appear any day now, if the Dev Team can solve the boot problem). See the redsn0w video here.
PSX emulators require the copyright protected Playstation BIOS which can be dumped from your console or found on the Internet.
