PCSX ReARMed is yet another PCSX fork based on the PCSX-Reloaded project,
which itself contains code from PCSX, PCSX-df and PCSX-Revolution. This
version is ARM architecture oriented and features MIPS->ARM recompiler by
-Ari64. It was created for Pandora handheld, but should be usable on other
-devices after some code adjustments.
+Ari64, NEON GTE code and more performance improvements. It was created for
+Pandora handheld, but should be usable on other devices after some code
+adjustments (N900 version is also available).
PCSX ReARMed features GPU plugin from PCSX4ALL project.
This version features a framebuffer driven menu that can be used to run
games and configure the emulator.
-Supportd CD image formats:
+Supported CD image formats:
- .bin/.cue
- .bin/.toc
- .img/.ccd/.sub
- .mdf/.mds
- .Z/.Z.table
+- .bz/.bz.table
+- .ZNX/.ZNX.table (partial)
+- EBOOT.PBP (PSP, partial)
CDDA (CD audio) support requires .cue/.bin format.
+There is support for redump.org .sbi files, which can be used instead of
+.sub files to save space (name it the same as .cue/.bin, just use .sbi
+extension). This is required for Libcrypt copy protected game support.
The emulator can simulate BIOS, which means BIOS files are not required,
however implementation is not complete and some games still need real BIOS
[sd card]/pandora/appdata/pcsx_rearmed/bios/
then select the BIOS you want to use in Options->BIOS/Plugins menu.
+Analog controllers are supported using nubs, but this is disabled by
+default and needs to be enabled in 'Controls' menu.
