Top 5 PS1 Emulators To Use 2024

[@martin.aguilar.a]

In on my opinion DuckStation is my favorite PS1 emulator it’s an easy setup, HD quality bright and clean. I love this PlayStation Emulator so much.

Is it still working for you?

[@leorelic]

Duckstation was fun for me till it lasted. (license change and developer being shitty and it no longer being open source is why i no longer use it)

[@raul1642]

duckstation should be the number one, just because the og epsxe are first, doesn't mean it's the best one out there, you are just sugar coating it.

[@homebrewGT2]

Actually, it's the best because it runs on low end devices... Duck station tanks on my Abxylute

[@xxcrysad3000xx]

What are the pro's of duckstation over epsxe? for the past decade or more I've always used psxfin for 2d games and epsxe for 3d games, never tried duckstation.

[@chanonwisanmongkol2254]

Duckstation sucks. It doesn't support DPAD axis control while epsxe support all controller. That's why I delete it from my PC without hesitation.

[@eapleitez]

​​@@chanonwisanmongkol2254wrong answer. Duckstation is the best PS1 emu by a long shot. And what do you mean by D-axis control? Everything is mappable, including the button to change from analog to digital on the Dualshock.

[@chanonwisanmongkol2254]

@@eapleitez Yes, it can mapping but it doesn't work when playing. I see a lot of people complain about it(me too) for a while. If you play with keyboard or PS Controller it's fine because it works well with dpad button but if you play with dpad axis this application can't distinguish the difference between axis-1 and ~axis-1. If axis-1 is left there's no right because ~axis-1 is left too. I know it support dpad button perfectly but what's the point of going out to buy a new controller just to play this crap emulator. You can use another emulator that support this type of controller like epsxe and save your money.

You mention some of these needing a BIOS. I don't understand this requirement, can you explain?

One more great feature of DuckStation that you should've mentioned is that it lets you run PAL games in 60 fps. I don't know of any other emulator that lets you do that ...

[@GeorgeWeeman]

Duckstation, PSXE, and PSXEven are all really great Emus for PC. (PSXEven is a really old emulator, but is a good alternative to epsxe.)

[@majidpersona9346]

epsxe is an outdated piece of sh*t.The best are Mednafen,Xebra and Duckstation.

[@connorbooth7207]

I’m not educated on any of this. What does it mean that you have to set up your own bios? Is that difficult to do 😂

[@kevdogyt08ti]

The ones I use are Retro Arch, EPSXE, and PS1 Emulator (by Skymob Tech.). They work great on the system I'm using.

[@retroonlinemultiplayer9196]

Duckstation is best with the highest quality upscale and net play ability But medgui is the only one that can net play with the multi tap.

Can anyone help me with Duckstation. I setup everything correctly but when I go to play Street Fighter Alpha 3, in the main menu the cursor is stuck moving up and down and when I play Megaman X4 when I start playing the game, X moves to the right on his own. My controllers work fine on other ps1 emulators.

[@herbsuperb6034]

Many thanks for the list. I'm not new to emulation, but have been out of the game for a while. Was hoping to get PS1 set up, mostly for the old RPG classics, FF, Chrono Cross, Parasite Eve, maybe some RE, things like that. One thing I'm REALLY interested in is being able to increase the emulation speed (either with a button, or toggle mapped to the keyboard/controller), to play through some of those games without it taking an egregious amount of time. Any thoughts on ones that can do this well? Thanks!

[@karanijuan9259]

Duckstation can do that,you can set the emulation speed to your liking,although epsxe can also do that..i prefer duckstation

[@16BitDungeon]

lol, aint no way epsxe is the best. It probably shouldn't even make this list.

Left a 'like'. Thanks! Personally, I use Launchbox. It automatically imports, sets up, and installs everything with no hastle, using Retroarch, which the side panels and on-screen effects like CRT are amazing!

[@tomasplunksnis1087]

Duckstation is the best what the hell are you smoking man!

[@chanonwisanmongkol2254]

If you don't like playing a games with a keyboard I can say all 4 suck because it has a problem with game controller setup (duckstation too) but epsxe can use all controller that exist in this world. This is a huge difference.

[@GeoNeilUK]

Retroarch's Beetle-PSX core is Retroarch's port of Mednafen's PlayStation emulation. You need a GUI to work with Mednafen though as it's command line only. Also, I think Retroarch's Beetle core provides for some features that Mednafen itself doesn't, but Mednafen does emulate other consoles as well as the PSX.

[@cicak335]

bro i have problem on beetle psx Hw on retroarch, its like pixel glitches...how to fix it??

[@GeoNeilUK]

@@cicak335 Don't know, I use standalone Duckstation on PC, but that needs a BIOS for whatever region you game is from.

[@lucaslima8911]

@@cicak335 Bruh, same problem here... did you figured out how to solve?

[@eapleitez]

Hell no, Duckstation in 2nd place behind EPSXE? That's terrible advice. EPSXE is terribly outdated at this point, and doesn't hold a candle to Duckstation. These days, for PS1 emulation, Duckstation is the correct choice.

[@CallumAnthony-r9o]

@@cicak335Use the core labeled Mednafen if you are having issues with Beetle. I also found the same with Beetle but the one labled Mednafen works perfectly.

When I extract Duckstation, the files extracted are missing some you show from your duckstation video. The.

Then it doesn’t run when I follow the steps. Any suggestions? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@eapleitez]

Your PC must be a potato for Duckstation to freeze.

[@primalvelocity3811]

​@@eapleitezExactly.

[@CallumAnthony-r9o]

Your PC is likely very low-spec, which means yours is one of the very few use-cases in which ePSXe or PCSX-R are better options. Duckstation IS a better emulator but that means very little to you personally if your PC isn't able to run it. But it is very much a "you" problem and not a Duckstation problem. E.g. I'm using a GTX-750 on the computer I'm currently using and this is like me trying to load Cyberpunk and complaining that Cyberpunk doesn't work.
