You can still drag-and-drop CUE files into the executable to load games, and the program will log errors to a text file called stdout whenever a crash happens. However, there are a few hurdles to using it it requires a specific BIOS for each region, and the program interfaces from a shell only it has no GUI. It's even been known to outperform Sony's official PS1 emulator in accuracy tests. Mednafen Is focused on accuracy, which makes it very compatible. The unofficial libretro core (swanstation) and standalone version are Retroachievements-compatible. An Android version is also available, although it doesn't have feature parity with the desktop builds. It also natively supports MAME's Compressed Hunks of Data (CHD) format (you don't have to extract it), which shrinks the size of CDs losslessly while also storing all of its data under a single file. Duckstation has modern enhancements built-in like PGXP, upscaling, texture filtering, emulated CPU overclocking, hardware (D3D11, D3D12, OpenGL, Vulkan) and software rendering (both of which have true color (24-bit) support). Its stated goal is to be 'as accurate as possible while maintaining performance suitable for low-end devices.' While PCSX-R has long dethroned ePSXe in features, DuckStation is the first to address all the shortcomings of plugin-based offerings thus far, as all of its features are available out-of-the-box, and no configuration is necessary to get games running outside of obtaining the original system firmware.

5.2 Less-notable games using special peripherals.

4.1 Namco System 10, Namco System 11 and Namco System 12.2.1 Parallel/Precision Geometry Transform Pipeline.The plugins and emulators were often closed-source, rarely updated, and of questionable accuracy, but new offerings emerging starting in the mid-2010s offer high accuracy, many enhancements over the original hardware, or both. PlayStation emulation has been available since the late 1990s, and was generally better than the comparable Nintendo 64 offerings despite the use of a plugin system. The PS1's CD had a maximum capacity of 600MB, while the N64's was limited to 64MB.

One advantage the PS1 had over competitors like the N64 was its support for more third party games.

Sony's more inclusive policy towards third party developers also contributed to this success. The PS1 was commercially successful because of its relative ease of programming and the low cost of CD-based media. It had better stereo sound than that of other stereos at that time. It used a proprietary MDEC video compression unit integrated into the CPU, allowing for playback of full-motion video at a higher quality than other consoles of its generation. It had an R3000 CPU (which was used by NASA to take pictures of Mars because of its reliability) at 33.8688 MHz with 2 MBs of RAM and 1 MB of VRAM. The PlayStation (frequently referred to in shorthand as the PS1) is a fifth-generation console released by Sony Computer Entertainment on December 3, 1994, in Japan and September 9, 1995, in the US, and retailed for $299.99.
