What that really means? It means that it emulates the +way that a PSX works and tries to translate PSX machine language to PC language. +That is very hard to be done and we can't speak for 100% success in any time. +The hardware would always be better than the software so if you wanna play games +then better get a real PSX. Pcsx is capable to run many games, but may others +don't. We are working on it ;). The members of the team are very advanced coders +and they will continue the work on the Pcsx as far as they have enough time to +work on it. Real life comes first and sometimes it is much more demanding. + +The team of Pcsx + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +2) How it works + ------------ + +Steps: +------ + 1) Put a bios on bios directory (recommended: scph1001.bin) (optional) + 2) Put plugins in plugin directory + 3) Open the emu + 4) Configure plugins from configuration menu and Memcards from Mcd Manager + 5) Restart + 6) Put a cd in your cdrom drive + 7) Press Run CD and the game might work ;P + +Quick Keys: +---------- + F1: Save State + F2: Increase State Num + F3: Load State + F4: Show State-Pic + F5: Sio Irq Dis/Enable + F6: Black&White Mdecs Dis/Enable + F7: Dis/Enable Xa + F8: Makes a Snapshot + The 2 next keys are only implemented if the cdrom plugin doesn't support + the CDRgetStatus interface. + F9: Press to simulate an open case (to change cdroms in game) + F10: And this to close it + +Cpu Options: +----------- + * Disable Xa Decoding: + Disables xa sound, if you don't want sound this might + speed up a little movies (mostly) and the game itself. + + * Sio Irq Always Enabled: + Enable this only when pads or memcards doesn't works, + but usually brokes compatibility with them. + + * Spu Irq Always Enabled: + May help your game to work, but usually doesn't helps. + + * Black & White Movies: + Speed up for slow machines on movies. + + * Disable CD-DA: + Will disable CD audio. + + * Enable Console Output: + Displays the psx text output. + + * Enable Interpreter Cpu: + Enables interpretive emulation (recomiler by default), + it may be more compatible, but it's slower. + + * Psx System Type: + Autodetect: Try to autodetect the system. + NSTC/PAL: Specify it for yourself. + +Internal HLE Bios: +----------------- + If you select this instead of a regular bios (ie. "scph1001.bin") + Pcsx will emulate the bios (this might not work in all cases but it is + quite advanced), you can try it and see which one works better, notice + that the HLE bios might be faster than a regular one and may make some + games work better. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +3) Supported Games + --------------- + +Here is a small list with games that pcsx support.
