DuckStation Git Update (April 30, 2026)

DuckStation Git (2026/04/30) has been compiled. DuckStation serves as a simulator/emulator for the Sony PlayStation(TM) console, emphasizing playability, speed, and long-term sustainability. The aim is to ensure high accuracy while providing performance suitable for low-end devices. “Hack” options are advised against; the default settings should be able to support all playable games, with only a few enhancements potentially causing compatibility issues.

Features:
CPU Recompiler/JIT (x86-64, armv7/AArch32 and AArch64)
Support for hardware (D3D11, D3D12, OpenGL, Vulkan) and software rendering
Upscaling, texture filtering, and 24-bit true colour support in hardware renderers
PGXP for enhanced geometry precision, texture correction, and depth buffer emulation
Adaptive downsampling filter
Post-processing shader chains
“Fast boot” option to bypass BIOS splash/intro
Support for save states
Compatibility with Windows, Linux, and highly experimental macOS
Capable of reading bin/cue images, raw bin/img files, MAME CHD, single-track ECM, MDS/MDF, and unencrypted PBP formats.
Direct boot for homebrew executables
Direct loading of Portable Sound Format (psf) files
Support for both digital and analog controllers (rumble forwarded to host)
Namco GunCon lightgun support (simulated through mouse)
NeGcon compatibility
User-friendly Qt and “Big Picture” UI
Automatic updates for Windows versions
Automatic content scanning for game titles/hashes provided by redump.org
Optional automatic memory card switching for each game
Cheat loading supported from existing lists
Memory card editor and save importer features
Emulated CPU overclocking
Integrated and remote debugging capabilities
Multitap controllers support (up to 8 devices)
RetroAchievements integration
Automatic loading and applying of PPF patches
