📜️ "blabla" 📜️

PCSX-df is a fork of the PCSX Playstation emulator designed specifically for GNU/Linux (and probably other similar systems). It has a completely reworked and modernized GTK2/Glade GUI, integrated plugins, an improved system for classic PSEmu plugins, better configuration tools, support for translation, easy installation, and support for AMD64.

🌍️ Wikipedia (PCSX & PCSX-Reloaded):

PCSX is a free and open-source video game console emulator which allows software designed to be used with the Sony PlayStation to run on personal computers. Over the years, development changed hands several times with PCSX-Reloaded (PCSXR) now being the main version.

PCSX has a high compatibility rate and is currently available for a number of different operating systems including Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux. It is released under the GNU General Public License.

History

The emulator was first released for the PC on August 31, 2000. Official development ceased on September 17, 2003, and development shifted to the new PlayStation 2 emulator, PCSX2.

PCSX-df was created in 2006 and added new features, a new GTK-based interface, AMD64 support, and corrected some bugs, but was developed mainly with only Linux compatibility in mind. Version 1.10 was released on March 29, 2009.

PCSX-Reloaded is a new project created in mid-2009, which is based on the work of the PCSX-df branch, completely independent, and works on bug fixes while maintaining Windows and OS X compatibility alongside Linux. PCSX-df and PCSX-Reloaded coexisted for a while, with PCSX-df merging changes of PCSX-Reloaded back into df.
Features
PCSX supports network play and external plugins as used by ePSXe. As with many modern emulators PCSX-Reloaded supports savestates and also has Save Rewind feature (currently only OSX and Linux version), Support for ECM files (currently only OS X and Linux version), Support for Libarchive (currently only OSX and Linux version), widescreen hack and makes use of plug-ins to emulate GPU, SPU, and CD-ROM drive functions, a model first established in PSEmu Pro, it uses Peops OpenGL plugin for graphics on default but can also use Pete's OpenGL2, gpuBladeSoft, PCSX2 graphics plugin GSDX, AmiDog GPU plugin, Asmodeans PSXFX shader pack, input plugins such as Lilypad and Pokopom Pad Plugin. It also has multi-track cue support and is the only PS1 emulator with compatibility with anti-jitter options in graphics plugins, such as GTE accuracy in the default Peops OpenGL plugin, or Improved coordinate accuracy in Edgbla's gpuBladeSoft and it also supports PeteOpenGL2Tweak plugin. Additionally, PCSX seeks to simulate the functionality of the PlayStation BIOS and consequently does not require a BIOS file dump to operate, making it easier to emulate legally, however Bios emulation is still incomplete so its better to use dumped BIOS to avoid various bugs and reduced compatibility.

Ports and commercial usage

Linux, macOS/OS X, and Microsoft Windows on x86-based computers are the main development focus of PCSX-Reloaded but various PCSX iterations have been ported to other platforms as well, including Dreamcast, GameCube, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox, and various ARM-based platforms (PCSX-Rearmed fork) such as BlackBerry Playbook and Nintendo 3DS.
Usage

PCSXR was used for an official port and commercial re-release of N2O: Nitrous Oxide on Steam on June 29, 2015. It is also used as the emulator on Sony's PlayStation Classic dedicated console.
Reception

Tom's Guide featured PCSX Reloaded in a feature about the best PlayStation emulators, scoring it at 4 of 5 points. Kator Legaz reviewed the Mac OS version as "good".

🌍️ Wikipedia (PCSX & PCSX-Reloaded):

PCSX est un émulateur libre de la première PlayStation publié sous licence GNU GPL. Il est disponible sur PC (support des systèmes d'exploitation Windows, GNU/Linux et Mac OS X) et a également été porté sur les consoles Xbox et Dreamcast.

Histoire

La première version de PCSX fut disponible le 31 août 2000. L'équipe d'origine a cessé le développement de PCSX le 17 septembre 2003 afin de se consacrer entièrement à leur nouveau projet : PCSX2 (un émulateur libre de la PlayStation 2).

Son développement a depuis été repris par une autre équipe, lui donnant le nom de PCSX-df. Cette « version df » n'est développée que pour GNU/Linux.

Une autre équipe a fait un fork de PCSX-df sous le nom de PCSX-Reloaded. Cette dernière version est développée pour Windows, GNU/Linux et Mac OS X. Un port est également disponible pour FreeBSD.

Plugins

PCSX supporte de nombreux plugins et est capable d'émuler le BIOS de la PlayStation ce qui évite aux utilisateurs de celui-ci d'avoir à copier et utiliser un BIOS original (pratique officiellement interdite par Sony).
