Playstation Emulator 10.6.8 Driver Might Have

The emulator is apparently able to emulatesimulate BIOS functions, but in testing it seems like that feature is hit and miss at best.

You have to place it in UsersyournameLibraryApplication SupportPcsxrBios.

Maybe a little hard to find, but this is at least the standard location for application data.

Not some directory that begins with a dot, in your home directory, that Finder cant even see.

And not LibraryApplication Support, which is semi-hidden by Finder and access-controlled with root permissions.

Bring over a Dual Shock 3, but not one that is already turned on and paired with a PS3 in the room, because thatll cause trouble.

The Bluetooth discovery process is janky, and you might need the mini-USB cable, but it will work, and eventually you will be able to use it 100 wirelessly.

Where it says controller, select GamepadKeyboardMouse and click Configure.

If the Playstation controller is connected, you should see it in the drop-down box labeled Device.

Select it. Now in my case, none of the preset buttons were mapped to the right controller buttons, so I had to remap all of them, but it only takes a second.

They do work, but only with a controller, and not with a mouse like I hoped.

Eventually, Ill look into alternative input plugins, maybe here or here.

There were games for PS1 that supported 4 players with the PlayStation MultiTap accessory, and there might be a plugin for this, but I havent searched for it.

Increasing the cache slider for the CD reader plugin didnt help, and theres really nothing that looks like it would help under Audio.

Switching to the SDL sound driver might have helped a tiny bit, but theres still skipping.

Some of the hardware limitations of the original machine meant that polygons would sometimes jiggle, and the textures would have perspective issues.

Ive seen video of other graphics plugins that can be used to improve the resolution (like GDSX, although that is DirectX so would be Windows-specific), but the resolution already looks like its rendering at 800600, much higher than the original console was capable of (640i at best).

Theres also Petes OpenGL2 plugin, which I want to look into.

The image looks a little off in some way that I cant put my finger on, like too high resolution or something.

Scanlines are a nice touch but they kind of darken the image; I dont think thats it.
