PCSX-Redux is a Playstation One emulator based on the original PCSX code, whose main goal is to convert the code to the current standard, leave the plugin system and write everything in OpenGL3+/ImGui to make it easier to be portable to Additionally, suggestions for improving the rendering experience are always appreciated.

The first thing you’ll notice when running PCSX-Redux is that it already comes with a set of BIOS, OpenBIOS, unlike other emulators. This will allow you to instantly load any ISO you have on your hard drive and if all goes well it should work fine. Either way, you can also load your own PlayStation BIOS if you want and have it handy.

The PCSX-Redux compatibility list is complete. This means that the emulator is compatible with his entire PSX game catalog and, in principle, all games are fully functional and playable from start to finish. Emulators let you play video games directly from the original disc, but you can also use ISOs or binaries.

PCSX-Redux doesn’t have as many configuration options as other emulators, but it has everything you need. From the menu, you can configure your Playstation’s memory card and configure its controls. You can also select the default shader you downloaded to give the game under test a different look.

PCSX-Redux is a great PSX emulator. Thanks to you, you can now enjoy the entire catalog of Sony’s first home consoles from the comfort of your PC. All you need to unzip the emulator is 35Mb of free space on your hard drive.
