What does Mednafen mean exactly? Apparently it’s an acronym for My Emulator Doesn’t Need A Frickin’ Excellent Name. Not everyone needs to play Dokodemo Hamster 2 or Hello Kitty: White Present, but it’s nice to know we can if the desire to do so ever arises. This is also the only emulator currently out there that can emulate the PocketStation (remember that thing?). The second is to offer the most accurate PS1 experience to be found anywhere. The first is to be as straightforward as possible. Setting up XEBRA takes hardly any time at all.Įverything about XEBRA seems designed around two things. This would be another solid choice for those who are new to emulating PS1 or anything else, and want something that will keep this in mind. There’s a lot to like about this exceptional, lightweight PS1 emulator. It may be a little too sparse for serious emulation freaks, but its lightweight design and ease-of-use can make up for that for anyone who’s looking for a relatively easy to use PS1 emulator. Sega Saturn, PlayStation 1, NES, and even the Nintendo 64 are just a few of the platforms supported by BizHawk.

Meaning you can easily emulate your favorite PS1 games, but you may find that BizHawk is great for your other emulation needs. While the emphasis on this particular emulator clearly leans into those looking for the best in TAS (Tool Assisted Speedruns) production, this is a multi-console emulator.

Utilizing save state options and the ability to manipulate the frame rate itself, BizHawk has been lauded by gamers for being a great PS1 emulator in the speedrun community.
