DuckStation Version 0.1-11752

DuckStation v0.1-11752 has been released. DuckStation is a simulator/emulator for the Sony PlayStation(TM) console, prioritizing playability, speed, and long-term maintainability. The aim is to achieve maximum accuracy while ensuring performance on low-end devices. “Hack” options are not recommended; the default settings should support all playable titles, with only a few enhancements potentially causing compatibility issues.

Features:
CPU Recompiler/JIT (x86-64, armv7/AArch32, and AArch64)
Rendering options include Hardware (D3D11, D3D12, OpenGL, Vulkan) and software
Upscaling, texture filtering, and true color (24-bit) for hardware rendering
PGXP for improved geometry precision, texture correction, and depth buffer emulation
Adaptive downsampling filter
Post-processing shader chains
“Fast boot” option for skipping BIOS splash/introduction
Support for save states
Compatible with Windows, Linux, and experimental support for macOS
Supports multiple formats including bin/cue images, raw bin/img files, MAME CHD, single-track ECM, MDS/MDF, and unencrypted PBP
Direct booting of homebrew executables
Direct loading of Portable Sound Format (psf) files
Digital and analog controller support (rumble forwarded to host)
Namco GunCon lightgun support (simulated with mouse)
NeGcon compatibility
Qt and “Big Picture” UI
Automatic updates for Windows builds
Automatic content scanning – game titles/hashes sourced from redump.org
Optional automatic memory card switching for each game
Cheat loading from existing lists
Memory card editor and save file importer
Emulated CPU overclocking
Integrated and remote debugging
Multitap controller support (up to 8 devices)
