PCSX-R port released for hacked PS4 consoles letting you play PS1 games!

The emulator isn’t 100% finished and has some bugs such as broken save functionality, cutscenes lagging and sound not functioning properly. Furthermore, you can only load a single ROM at a time so you have to rename the “game.bin” file that the emulator uses in order to play different games.

It also uses a modified Version of Dolphin (included in the Downloads).

RetroArch coming to Steam this month!

So RetroArch is finally coming to Steam two weeks from now!

RetroArch is the official reference frontend of the popular Libretro API. While there is nothing particularly about RetroArch or the Libretro API that has anything to do with emulators, most do it use it for this purpose.

We want to grow our base and as of this month we have been putting a heavy focus into making sure that RetroArch can run originally bought content on game discs. There are further announcements to follow in the coming weeks, and we are open to dialogue with game developers/publishers that have the rights to original IP who want to bring their games over to Steam through the use of RetroArch*.

Do note that RetroArch is an agnostic frontend/backend application that can be used to run modular programs. As such, it can run real games, media engines, and emulators, as long as these programs are converted/ported into modular pieces of software known as 'Libretro cores'.

So, without further ado, here's the details on our initial release:

Free.
Windows version first, Linux and macOS versions will release later. We're a bit wary of the support burden that will come with a much wider audience, so we want to do the Windows version first to make sure we can handle the demand.
At the beginning, there will not be any difference between the version you can get on Steam and the one available on our own website. As such, no Steamworks SDK functionality will be present at launch or any additional Steam features. However, after the initial launch, we will begin exploring options on how we can start leveraging Steam's functionality as a platform.
Release date will be approximately 30th of July.

RetroArch as a program serves as the fundamental backbone of many retro gaming machines out there in the wild. Even when it is not deliberately namechecked, chances are it's running in the backend of said retro program. Same goes for its sister project Libretro. For instance, several programs available on Steam already, such as Grid Cartographer, and New Retro Arcade, integrate Libretro support to allow you to run the software that has been ported to the Libretro API. As for Libretro, this API is being leveraged by several retro gaming companies right now to serve as the backbone of their retro emulation services. Given all this interest and burgeoning activity, we feel now is the time to finally bring the official Libretro frontend to Steam. RetroArch is truly in a class of its own on a technical level when it comes to latency, shader features, and now soon-to-be disc loading and disc dumping. We can't wait to bring you complete control over your retro gaming library coming this summer on Steam!

RPCS3's May 2019 Progress Report – 1337 games are now playable and another 1337 are in game!

Mupen64+ Reverser Edition (RE) is a fork of the Mupen64+ Nintendo 64 emulator tailored for reverse engineering.

The main aim is to generate information that will be useful for the disassembling and decompilation of your chosen game.

It does this by tracing and logging information about ASM instructions, functions, memory addresses, DMA's, etc. as the user plays the game.

The main output after the user has finished playing is a couple of files: an N64split config file and a tracing JSON file.

Mikage is a Nintendo 3DS emulator specifically designed for Android developed by neobrain, work on which started in 2016 but was only announced hours ago.

For those doubting the legitimacy of its author, he provided ample proof that he’s the real deal in his announcement as he’s not only one of Citra’s (3DS emulator) original authors but has also done various contributions to PPSSPP (PSP emulator) and Dolphin (Game Cube/Wii emulator).

MAME is available for the Windows, Linux and Mac OS platforms.

"MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from the late 1970s through the modern era.

MAME is free and open source under the GPL-2.0+ license "
