8 | ----- |
9 | |
10 | PCSX ReARMed is yet another PCSX fork based on the PCSX-Reloaded project, |
11 | which itself contains code from PCSX, PCSX-df and PCSX-Revolution. This |
12 | version is ARM architecture oriented and features MIPS->ARM recompiler by |
13 | Ari64. It was created for Pandora handheld, but should be usable on other |
14 | devices after some code adjustments. |
15 | |

16 | PCSX ReARMed features GPU plugin from PCSX4ALL project. |

19 | Usage |
20 | ----- |
21 | |
22 | This version features a framebuffer driven menu that can be used to run |
23 | games and configure the emulator. |

26 | - .bin/.cue |
27 | - .bin/.toc |
28 | - .img/.ccd/.sub |
29 | - .mdf/.mds |
303ee308 |
30 | - .Z/.Z.table |
33716956 |
31 | - .bz/.bz.table |
32 | - .ZNX/.ZNX.table (partial) |
33 | - EBOOT.PBP (PSP, partial) |

34 | |
35 | CDDA (CD audio) support requires .cue/.bin format. |
36 | |

37 | The emulator can simulate BIOS, which means BIOS files are not required, |
38 | however implementation is not complete and some games still need real BIOS |
39 | to work. To use real BIOS, copy uncompressed BIOS files to |
40 | [sd card]/pandora/appdata/pcsx_rearmed/bios/ |
41 | then select the BIOS you want to use in Options->BIOS/Plugins menu. |

43 | Analog controllers are supported using nubs, but this is disabled by |
44 | default and needs to be enabled in 'Controls' menu. |

47 | Plugins |
48 | ------- |
49 | |
50 | GPU (graphics) and SPU (sound) plugins can be selected in |
51 | [BIOS/Plugins] menu: |
52 | |
53 | builtin_gpu - the P.E.Op.S. GPU plugin, most accurate but slow. |
54 | gpuPCSX4ALL.so - plugin from PCSX4ALL project. Faster but has some glitches. |
55 | gpuGLES.so - experimental port of P.E.Op.S. MesaGL plugin to OpenGL ES. |
56 | Occasionally faster but has lots of glitches and seems to |
57 | be rather unstable (may crash the system). |
58 | builtin_spu - P.E.Op.S. SPU plugin, most accurate but slow. |
59 | spunull.so - NULL plugin, i.e. no sound emulation. |
