This project aims to emulate the PlayStation™ 1 console in an accurate fashion. No hacks or proprietary software will be used to accomplish this goal.
This emulator is designed to work "out of the box", no plug-in hell required!
Currently, the emulator can get through the BIOS, but hasn't booted any commercial games yet. A software rasterizer is used to attempt pixel accurate graphical output, the results are quite nice!
The emulator requires a BIOS file, which can be dumped from a physical console.
Once you have a BIOS file, PSXACT can be invoked via command line, using the following simple interface:
$ psxact <bios file here> <game file here>
This project uses CMake for builds, and requires SDL2.
I personally use the FindSDL2.cmake script available
here.
If you'd like to contribute, please create a fork and issue pull requests! I am very open to newcomers, and will need all the help I can get to make the best PS1 emulator available.
However, do try and follow the syntax used by the project when contributing, I will rewrite any code to make it match the project style before accepting.
