[RESOLVED] New Playstation 1 emulator - Duckstation

[ClassicGMR]

I was browsing ETA Prime's channel yesterday and ran across this. I had to immediately try it out and it is fantastic. I used Destruction Derby 2 as my test game. I have never seen it look so good! This is definitely worth a look if you love PS1 games. I haven't been this excited about PS1 since I started using my PSP as a Playstation back in '10.

I saw ETA's video earlier today as well. I am looking forward to trying this one.

I was able to tinker with this one today. For what the dev is calling a .1 version build, it is pretty darn impressive. Both video and sound were great, though there were some visible edges when scaling is increased a lot (not a big surprise though).

I did not find much information about the command line setup, but I had no problem figuring it out for GameEx with a simple setup to launch a game and return to GameEx. I just doubt that there are any flags available for emulator specific settings at launch such as fullscreen, scaling, antialiasing, etc.

Still, a good one to have on the radar.

Hi,

Can you please share what you used for the command line? I tried testing it out today, but i'm not sure which exe file to use.

 

Thank you,

Sure. I used this for the command line:
duckstation-sdl-x64-ReleaseLTCG.exe -fullscreen "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]"

The QT version has the built-in GUI, so I used the SDL version. It worked fine in GameEx, so I did not even test the other.

Awesome thank you!
