duckstation is an excellent Playstation 1 emulator by Stenzek. It has a very good compabiility and it is quite performant. It also supports all kinds of enhancements such as high resolution rendering and PGXP which can lessen the "wobble" and distortion visible in a lot of PSX games.

Thus I want to present to you my port of it to Switch, featuring a custom deko3D graphics backend.

You can download the newest version here: https://github.com/RSDuck/duckstation/releases/tag/prerelease-2

Old versions:

Installation is the usual extract it onto the root of the SD. Before starting a game make sure to bind keys for controller (you can use the automatic mapping feature) and to bind a hotkey for pause key(combo), otherwise you can't exit the application.

Do you use the Album to open the hbmenu? If you do don't, use title injection (with default Atmosphere settings open any game while pressing the R button, you can also change this via config files).

I had implemented a dialogue which should be displayed when Album (applet) mode is detected, though I never tested it until now and it looks like it crashes instead of displaying it *sigh*.

Also don't use any forwarders are other stupid things like this.

The nro is now self contained, all supplementary files are inside the romfs.

Its a nice emulator, but I struggle to get two controllers connected for two player games... Is this already possible at the moment? I can configure two controllers in the menu, but it says controller 2 not connected, even though they both(wired) are connected via usb port on side of the switch dock station.

And in game-play the second controller doesn't respond when I press buttons on it.

    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
