A Playstation emulator that can open PS ISO images and PS1 CDs.
PCSX-Reloaded is a free PlayStation emulator that can play a select number of ROM titles that were originally produced for Sony's debut console.
The application is capable of playing ROMs at high resolution and can run 3D PlayStation games, unlike other PS3 emulators that may run into issues. It relies on an OpenGL driver and can play games using a connected gamepad, keyboard, or mouse.
For functionality, PCSX-Reloaded simulates the original PSX BIOS and a BIOS is required for anything to actually work.
The interface of PCSX-Reloaded is similar to other emulators in its category. Configuration of Graphics, Sound, Controller 1, Controller 2, CD-Rom, Link cable and BIOS are all accessible through the configuration panel.
Types of ROM files that are supported are CDs, ISO files, BIOS and EXE files.
