Mednafen while it had been the most accurate ps1 emulator, has absolutely zero features. PCSX-R while it was the old king, was not a very good emulator, was just the least terrible. Why am I being downvoted? There is no real debate to be had.Įpsxe is long abandoned and was never great. Users being oddly hostile to Linux is unfortunately is common on gaming circles for some reason outside of a few exceptions, and doubt it shares the sentiment of the main dev as the only platforms he has show any form of hostility is the Apple ecosystem. The problems with RetroArch is not a Duckstation thing, the mGBA developer also dropped support for his libretro core from how hostile the current lead has been to everyone, and the there are probably 10 more on that has done the same. How he knows he can't do that now, the emulator will keep being GPL and he actually recommends anyone interested on making a PSX emulator to check his code. He didn't expect help on the emulator when he made it GPL but he didn't expect that massive entitlement.

The dev has said if he had started the project knowing the amount of people and companies came to ask him to do certain features in a very hostile manner, without even offering help or paying him, he would have made closed source (consisting of hostile users and a company that offers cloud based emulators but didn't help at all in doing the WASM backend).
