History[edit]

File Name: pcsxr-1.9.92-macosx.zip File Size: 573.39 KB System: Sony Playstation Version: 1.9.92 Downloads: 507,116 Not what you are looking for? Check out our Mac emulator section! Created by Linux, PCSX is an emulator for the first PlayStation games that allows you to use CDs from the legendary Sony console on your Mac OS X. However, you can not use CD images on PCSX so you'll have to burn them to disc first. Games like Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7, Tekken 3, Gran Turismo and MediEvil are just some.

The emulator was first released for the PC on August 31, 2000. Official development ceased on September 17, 2003,[6] and development shifted to the new PlayStation 2 emulator, PCSX2.

PCSX-df was created in 2006 and added new features, a new GTK-based interface, AMD64 support, and corrected some bugs, but was developed mainly with only Linux compatibility in mind. Version 1.10 was released on March 29, 2009.

PCSX-Reloaded is a new project created in mid-2009, which is based on the work of the PCSX-df branch, completely independent, and works on bug fixes while maintaining Windows and OS X compatibility alongside Linux. PCSX-df and PCSX-Reloaded coexisted for a while, with PCSX-df merging changes of PCSX-Reloaded back into df.

Features[edit]

PCSX supports network play and external plugins as used by ePSXe. As with many modern emulators PCSX-Reloaded supports savestates and also has Save Rewind feature (currently only OSX and Linux version), Support for ECM files (currently only OS X and Linux version), Support for Libarchive (currently only OSX and Linux version), widescreen hack and makes use of plug-ins to emulate GPU, SPU, and CD-ROM drive functions, a model first established in PSEmu Pro, it uses Peops OpenGL plugin for graphics on default but can also use Pete's OpenGL2, gpuBladeSoft, PCSX2 graphics plugin GSDX, AmiDog GPU plugin,[7] Asmodeans PSXFX shader pack, input plugins such as Lilypad and Pokopom Pad Plugin. It also has multi-track cue support and is the only PS1 emulator with compatibility with anti-jitter options in graphics plugins, such as GTE accuracy in the default Peops OpenGL plugin, or Improved coordinate accuracy in Edgbla's gpuBladeSoft and it also supports PeteOpenGL2Tweak plugin.[8] Additionally, PCSX seeks to simulate the functionality of the PlayStationBIOS and consequently does not require a BIOS file dump to operate, making it easier to emulate legally, however Bios emulation is still incomplete so its better to use dumped BIOS to avoid various bugs and reduced compatibility.

Ports and commercial usage[edit]

Linux, macOS/OS X, and Microsoft Windows on x86-based computers are the main development focus of PCSX-Reloaded but various PCSX iterations have been ported to other platforms as well, including Dreamcast,[9]GameCube,[10]PlayStation 3,[11]Wii,[12]Xbox,[13] and various ARM-based platforms (PCSX-Rearmed fork)[14] such as BlackBerry Playbook and Nintendo 3DS.[15][16][17]

Created by Linux, PCSX is an emulator for the first PlayStation games that allows you to use CDs from the legendary Sony console on your Mac OS X. However, you can not use CD images on PCSX so you'll have to burn them to disc first.
Games like Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7, Tekken 3, Gran Turismo and MediEvil are just some of the titles compatible with PCSX. To play them, you must first install a BIOS for PlayStation. Then, when you have it installed, drag and drop it onto the program's interface.
PCSX allows you to save and retrieve items (Freeze State and Defrost State), reconfigure the keyboard (in preferences) and load saved games in the CVGS format.
