| Rendering Mode | Memory Usage | Recommended Hardware | Backend Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| D2D | ~32MB | Older Machines | Software |
| D3D | ~52MB | Older Devices | Software |
| OpenGL | ~86MB / ~138MB | Modern Devices | Software / OpenGL |
| Vulkan | ~120MB / ~143MB | Modern Devices | Software / Vulkan |
PGXP is supported across software, OpenGL, and Vulkan backends; older systems should enable it with caution.
Smooth Performance Test(Tested on the WinUI version): Runs at 60 FPS on an Intel Celeron i3 3215u. No gamedb, no reshade，PGXP off.
Hardware Backend: Better native graphics quality, lower CPU usage
OpenGL requires a GPU supporting OpenGL 3.3+
Vulkan requires a GPU supporting Vulkan 1.1+

Note: Due to legal restrictions, the emulator does not include BIOS files. Please obtain a legal BIOS file.
- Extract the BIOS file (e.g.,
SCPH1001.BIN) from your PlayStation console. - Place the file in the emulator's
biosfolder: /ScePSx
├── bios/
│ └── SCPH1001.bin
├── saves/
└── ScePSX.exe
- ReShade is available in OpenGL and Vulkan rendering modes.
-
For D3D, ReShade needs to be installed separately.
- Press Home to open the ReShade settings interface.
- Load pre-configured Shader files (several presets are available).
- Memory Card 1: Each disc uses its own memory card.
- Memory Card 2: Shared across all discs, recommended for multi-disc games.
- Keyboard settings can be configured in the File menu.
- Controllers are plug-and-play, no additional setup required.
A: Ensure the following:
- The BIOS file is correctly set up.
- The game image file format is correct (e.g.,
.bin/.cue,.img/.cue, or.iso).
A: Visit the ReShade Official Website to download Shader files and place them in the reshade/ folder:
A: Most common games are supported.
A: If CPU usage is high, try using the D2D renderer or reduce the internal resolution.
A: Press F11 multiple times and use the Home key to select ReShade for enhanced graphics.
A: Try adjusting the audio buffer size or switching the audio output device.
A: Yes, it supports NTSC-J, NTSC-U, and PAL formats.
A: For games that support vibration feedback, you need to press F10 to switch to analog mode
A: Because it requires extra memory to store:
- 3 out-of-order command buffers
- 5 unsigned synchronization protocols
- 11 validation layer jokes
- Developer's precious hair samples
A: Yes, the following platforms are supported:
- Android: x64 / arm64-v8a / armeabi-v7a
📌 Supports Android 5.0+, recommended Android 9.0+ - Windows: x86 / x64 / arm
⚠️ Note: The Avalonia UI version only supports the x64 architecture.
📌 The Avalonia UI version does not require the .NET runtime to be installed. - Linux: x64 / arm / arm64 / riscv64 / loongarch64
📌 For Raspberry Pi Zero / Zero W (BCM2835), please choose the arm version. - macOS: x64 / arm64
⚠️ Note: To enable the Vulkan rendering backend, MoltenVK must be installed in advance (using the Vulkan backend on macOS is not recommended).
📌 Intel-based Macs → choose the x64 version.
📌 M-series Macs → choose the arm64 version. - 📢 Additional note: For broader platform support, compiling from source is recommended (refer to the various .bat files in the source code's AvaloniaUI directory).
- The project is built on .NET 8.0 framework.
- The core uses a modified version of MessagePack (ScePSX/Utils/MessagePack); do not install the NuGet package to compile Core.
- AvaloniaUI and Android use the Avalonia UI framework, version 11.3.11.
- Android requires a standard .NET MAUI development environment with Android SDK 33.
- The SDL library is pre-compiled and located in SDLLib; the Android version does not use the SDL library.
- If using a framework earlier than .NET 8.0, you can manually modify the project files.
- Some code in Core is refactored based on https://github.com/BluestormDNA/ProjectPSX .
