Best PS1 emulator? Anonymous Sun Oct 4 22:11:58 2020 No.6957779 [Reply] [Original]

Tried playing pic related with Xebra but the title screen already shows garbage. Looked at a handful of other emulators but they all have some wacky ad-hoc seeming setup process.

What's the best PS1 emulator to use without much hassle?

Mednafen is the best PS1 emulator. It's command line only but there's external frontends like Mednaffe or Medgui Reborn that give it a GUI.
There's also the versions of the Mednafen PS1 module forked by Libretro for use in Retroarch which adds a bunch of plugin emulator style features like graphic upscaling and PGXP if that's your thing.

There are Beetle PSX cores in Retroarch, too.

It's been a while since I have used Mednaffe? Has it been updated recently? Because, that was always this front end's issue. Medgui Reborn is a lot more recent. Also, You should be able to use launch box for Mednafen too.

Mednaffe hasn't been updated in a long while but it still works well enough for my needs. The stuff that Mednaffe doesn't change I just change via the normal config file changing way plus setting up controllers when I'm inside the program itself.

Mednafe use to be my go-to as well. But these days, I just associate the .cue files to load in Mednafen itself. It worked well for me when I used it.
