Smooth Running Test: Smooth running at 60 FPS on Intel Celeron i3 3215u. *No gamedb, no reshade.
Note: Due to legal restrictions, the emulator does not come with a BIOS file, so please obtain a legal BIOS yourself.
- For example, extract the BIOS file from your PlayStation console (e.g. SCPH1001.BIN)
- Place the file in the
biosfolder of the emulator: - /ScePSx
- ├─ bios/ │ └─ SCPH1001.BIN
- │ └── SCPH1001.bin
- ├─ saves/ └─ ScePSx
- └── ScePSX.exe
- ReShade is available in OpenGL and Vulkan rendering modes.
- D3D requires additional reShade installation.
- Press Home to open the ReShade Settings screen.
- Preset shader files (located in
ReShade/folder) can be loaded.
- Memory Card 1: Each disc is used independently.
- Memory Card 2: Common for all discs, recommended for multi-disc games.
- Keyboard setup is done in the File menu.
- The joystick requires no additional setup and is plug and play.
A: Please make sure:
- the BIOS file has been set up correctly.
- the game image is in the correct format (e.g.
.bin/.cueor.img/.cueor.iso).
A: Visit the official ReShade website to download the shader files and place them in the reshade/ folder.

A: Most of the common games are supported.
A: If the CPU usage is too high, we recommend using a D2D renderer or lowering the internal resolution.
A: Currently only Windows is supported, in the future we plan to implement Linux/macOS support through .NET MAUI or Avalonia.
- The project is in the .net 8.0 framework.
- SDL declaration file is already included in the code, put the SDL2 DLL into the generated directory.
- OpenGL can install OpenGL.NET NuGet package (.net 4.7 framework, there are compatibility issues), or manually add dependencies to use OpenGL.dll (.net 8.0 compilation)
- Use the vk NuGet package for Vulkan, or manually add a dependency to use vk.dll.
- If you are using a framework lower than .net 8.0, you can manually modify the project files.
- Core part of the code is based on https://github.com/BluestormDNA/ProjectPSX
Feedback: Submit an issue on the Issues page.
- Light version (1.42 MB): Includes only core functionality, good for a quick experience.
- Full Version (7.81 MB): Includes all features (e.g. ReShade integration).
