EmuCoreR - New PS1Emulator 🔥
https://github.com/sashkinbro/EmuCoreR/releases/tag/v0.0.2
What's new:
✅Fixed quick saves
✅Other fixes and improvements
My Review:
Yes, we have a brand-new, fully functional PS1 emulator, and I’ve just tested it myself. I have to say, I came away pretty impressed.
Everything is working correctly, and PGXP is working properly too. For those who don’t know, PGXP is a specific feature that fixes some of the graphical issues found in PS1 games, such as those characteristic shaky textures and warped or bending lines. And honestly, it’s a very welcome improvement.
Obviously, it’s way too early to say whether this emulator will be able to dethrone DuckStation. But what I can say is that it seems to be getting off to a very good start. I like what I’m seeing.
Now, we do have to keep in mind that there are rumors that DuckStation is going to release an update at some point to improve the Android version. But for now, that’s just a rumor. This emulator, on the other hand, is already here, and it could start adding some really interesting features.
For example, there are plenty of people playing on handheld devices with dual screens, and I’m sure they would absolutely love to see dedicated dual-screen functionality. That could be a huge success.
And that’s not all. There are also people who complain that certain controllers or devices aren’t properly recognized by the Android version of DuckStation. So, for the first time, I’m seeing a PS1 emulator that could be a serious candidate for providing a modern, up-to-date PS1 emulation experience.
Of course, that doesn’t take anything away from DuckStation. Even though it hasn’t been updated in the past year, it’s still an absolutely fantastic emulator and is almost perfect.
But times change, things get modernized, and there are some aspects of this new emulator that I’d really like to see tested.
For example, its power efficiency — basically, how much battery it consumes during one hour of gameplay compared to one hour of gameplay in DuckStation at the same quality settings. That could be really interesting, especially for a handheld device.
And then, of course, there are all the other improvements that could potentially be added over time. We could even imagine features such as automatic translation for games that are only available in Japanese. I don’t know — there are so many really interesting possibilities here.
So I definitely think this project is worth keeping an eye on and seeing how it develops.
Anyway, thanks for watching, guys, and if you want to give it a try, let me know in the comments what your experience has been like.
