![]() ![]() ![]() You can get some cores from the overlay (the libretro-corename ebuilds) or, easier method imo, once the retroarch base So a game that would run badly on 1 core may run better on another. for PS1 you can have beetle core, mednafen one, and pcsx one. One cool thing is you can have different cores installed for one machine, e.g. ![]() Project unifies many emulator cores under one UI. Retroarch (available only in vortex overlay according to ) is supposed to be the "ultimate" multi machine emulator, the libretro Mednafen + mednaffe will give you a multi machine emulator with the most common consoles. If you want a pure PS stand alone emulator, then duckstation is the way to go. Please note all 3 apps require PS bios files to run. Like say, I'm not opposed to using overlays, but which ones should I look at for that? I'll test both - see which works best for me. So getting duckstation in should be easy enough. I've had the guru overlay installed for quite some time - owing to a bit of nostalgic curiosity surrounding dev-lang/fbc::guru I suppose despite it not being in the official gentoo repo, I should give duckstation a try as well.Įven in my somewhat drunken state, I managed to get mednafen and mednaffe installed last night. Two votes for duckstation, one for mednafen. PCSX2 supports booting PS1 games, too now but it's not as good as duckstation imo. I used duckstation a while ago, and it is way better than PCSXR, especially with geometry correction and the widescreen hack. There's an ebuild available in Guru overlay. I didn't try it, so dunno what it's worth, but maybe you could try duckstation. I'll have to see about getting that going on the Windows rigs I have as well - it seems to me like there's no truly viable PlayStation-Specific emulators out there. Maybe I'm just too used to the proverbial "Old Guard" being the best. From the Wikipedia Article on it, it looks like it could replace a number of legacy emulators I have. Personally tend to use retroarch but it's not in the tree (available in overlays), and haven't been feeling like reviewing the whole thing to bring it to ::gentoo myself unfortunately There's also games-emulation/mednaffe serving as a mednafen frontend to be easier to use.Īlternatively, there's games-emulation/mednafen-jg and its frontend games-emulation/jgrf that were recently added to the tree may be more interesting, but I haven't tried yet to comment. for retroarch) been the typical choice for more accurate ps1 emulation for a long time (not that I've kept up with the latest advancements) - I used pcsxr nearly two decades ago but that feel like thing of the past to me Games-emulation/mednafen, or cores based on it (e.g. The hack I applied was to set up symlinks to the harfbuzz headers in '/usr/include/' specifically, the source appears to be looking for harfbuzz headers in '/usr/include/', instead of '/usr/include/harfbuzz/' Reviewing my footage for the pcsxr install I did in January, it appears the major build issue has to do with harfbuzz. The Wikipedia article for PCSX-Reloaded makes mention of a project called "PCSX-Redux", so I used my search engine and found the Git repo for PCSX-Redux which appears to be in active development, but the aforementioned article mentions that it is "A newer fork with a fraction of the features of PCSX-Reloaded", so I question this project's ability to replace PCSX-Reloaded. ![]() My question is this: is there a plan in the pipeline to replace this with another PlayStation emulator? In spite of its reported use in the PlayStation Classic Mini, this particular emulator has been unmaintained for quite a while. If I'm to be entirely honest, I saw this one coming about a hundred miles away. My use case depends on having as many game emulators as possible. With the relevant line in /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/package.mask pointing to games-emulation/pcsxr in general. # since 2019, the build system is messy and fixing the issues would take var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/package.mask: The following has come to my attention while doing my weekly review of 'emerge -NDupv world' Posted: Sat 12:36 am Post subject: pcsxr slated for removal Gentoo Forums Forum Index Gamers & Players Gentoo Forums :: View topic - pcsxr slated for removal ![]()
