DuckStation

DuckStation is all about bringing back the nostalgia of old-school console gaming! This awesome PlayStation 1 emulator lets you play some of the best games from the 90s right on your modern computer. Pretty cool, right?

Perfect for Everyone

The developers say DuckStation works great even on low-end devices. You don’t need a super fancy computer to enjoy it! The default settings should let you play almost any game with just a few compatibility bumps along the way.

All Your Favorite Games

You can run any PlayStation 1 game image, no matter where it came from or what version it is. And guess what? The app’s interface is built using Qt and takes inspiration from popular frameworks like SDL and Dear ImGui.

Compatibility Made Easy

This emulator plays nicely with x86-x64, armv7/AArch32, and AArch64 systems. It can handle both hardware rendering (thanks to D3D11, OpenGL, and Vulkan) and software rendering too!

Supported Formats

You’ll be able to use various formats such as .bin, .cue, .raw, and .img files. Plus, it supports MAME CHD formats! So no worries there.

A Bunch of Cool Features

DuckStation has tons of features like upscaling graphics, texture filtering for better visuals, true color hardware rendering, PGXP for precise geometry and texture correction, and even post-processing shader chains. Oh! And it boots up quickly so you can skip those BIOS splash screens.

User-Friendly Experience

You can even directly boot homebrew executables or load Portable Sound Format files with ease. DuckStation supports both digital and analog controllers for input—how awesome is that? It also works with Namco GunCon (mouse simulation), NeGcon controllers, automatic content scanning, and offers the option to switch memory cards automatically for each game!

Wrapping Up

If you're looking to relive those classic 90s console games, DuckStation is your go-to emulator. It's easy to use and packed with features that make playing your favorite games a blast!
