BizHawk (PSX)

Experience the golden age of RPG by playing some of the most popular PlayStation video games in history with BizHawk multi-console emulator. Written in the C# language, BizHawk is optimized for casual gaming, video recordings, streamings, and speed-running video games. This open-source emulator features re-recording support with Lua scripting while focusing on core accuracy and other quality-of-life features including dozens of tools for power users, debugging, and recording.

While BizHawk features everything that you would expect from a modern emulator (such as HD screen support), this emulator is more popular because of its extended support for Tool-Assisted Speedrunners (TASers). As a matter of fact, BizHawk is the number one go-to emulator of the speedrunner gaming community.

Features

Since version 1.11.4, BizHawk featured support for Libretro cores - making it a good alternative for RetroArch and other Libretro frontends. For PlayStation games, BizHawk uses the Mednafen (Octoshock, Nymashock) core. If you enjoy speed runs, then there is no better emulator than this.
