Help

Installation :
Extract WiiSX-beta2.zip to the root of your SD or USB. ( FAT32 Support only )

If you are using an extractor program which doesn't create empty folders, create them manually. Your device (SD or USB) must look like this :

'Device:/apps/wiiSX/'Put boot.dol, icon.png and meta.xml here
'Device:/wiisx/bios/' Put your bios here (SCPH1000.bin (jp) SCPH1001.bin (USA) or SCPH1002.bin (Eur)
'Device:/wiisx/isos/'Put your ISO/BIN/CUE here
'Device:/wiisx/saves/'

Image format :
Your game image can be in raw 2352 format (.bin or .img), and beta 2 now accepts .iso format (.iso, .nrg, .mds, renamed to .iso)

If your file is .bin.ecm, your image is compressed with ecm (Error Code Modeler), where the error codes are removed from the file. You need to uncompress the file using Neill Corlett's unecm to recreate the complete binary image.

For more help using WiiSX or editing this page, please go to the WiiSX GBAtemp Thread.

Instructions

- Games region affects the compatibility.When adding a game, please specify the region and game ID

Game's region and ID can be checked on http://www.sonyindex.com/

- There are 2 emulation modes : Dynamic recompiler (Dynarec) and Interpreter.

Always try the other mode if it's not working with the current one.

- If a game doesn't work, explain where and what is the error (Code dump, freeze but soft reset working (back to HBC), freeze + soft reset not working (Wii power off needed), graphic glitches, etc.)

If possible, give the stack dump, they are helpful to know where the code is hanging and what need to be corrected.

You can also report the problem and game compatibility to the official development website http://code.google.com/p/pcsxgc/issues/list

Final Fantasy VIII NTSC-U Does not work Tested by Old1Eye

Works through the battle on Interpreter. Settings are Limit FPS Auto, Frame Skip Off, Dithering None : Test#2 by Kyo, Unplayable gave above settings a go as well as some of my own Always stops on first battle as soon as you get off the train.. Tested by Lother: It works just fine with Interpreter. The only thing is that the music is slower, but the actual gameplay works just perfectly, battles and everything. Switching back to Dynarec always crashes at the first battle.Tested by JAMES: Switched to Interpreter, and instead of giving me the code dump error, it just froze while playing two notes of the music over and over.Tested by Ruckus: Dynarec works for chocobo races. Save state right before you talk with Ester, switch to Dynarec, then switch back before you leave.

Final Fantasy VIII NTSC-U SLUS-00892 Issues Works fine, very slight slowdown. Code dump when you encounter Zell for the first time (Its because of the movie, saving before the code dump, putting the game to interpreter and the game will work fine, after that you can put the game to dynarec. Black screen on random battles or some fixed battle, interpreter should fix it. Playable

Tested by lancea34

Not true; it didn't freeze when I encountered Zell. The freezings are random for everybody. Already on disk 2 (UPDATE: Finished the game). How to change disk: before you change disk, it asks you to save. Make that save on memory card slot 2. Exit game and load the next disk and load the save off mem slot 2. You're done.

Final Fantasy IX NTSC-U SLUS-01251 Doesn't Work TESTED BY VIC NEO: Intro movie simply doesn't play, only sound. After 'Start New Game' code dump or freezes, soft reset not working (Wii power off needed). Tested with both cores and w/o bios. UNPLAYABLE.

(Tested on disc 4) Using a memory card manager, it is possible to actually get into the game. Outside of battles, fps is normal inside towns and dungeons, though the world map will have the occasional slowdown depending on where you're at or what you're doing. Battles don't fare as well, as the command window and party stats/ATB bars are invisible, making fights near impossible. Some larger attack animations will either lag the game or cause the screen to flicker, and certain sound effects will also sound weird during some instances. Despite all of this, upon arriving at any instance that requires an FMV to play, the game will simply crash.

Settings: Dynarec, Limit FPS: Auto, Frame Skip: Off, Dithering: Default, Boot Through Bios: Yes, Bios: SCPH1001.

Works perfect. Playable at full speed. Lags a little during certain attacks, but hardly noticeable.

Note 1: Certain series in the game will require you to use discs 2 or 3. E.g. Zeta Gundam, Gundam Wing, Etc.If you want to play as one of the other series that require you to use either discs 2 or 3, then follow these instructions (Noob Friendly):

1. Load the 'Disc 1' game through bios.

2. Afterwards, go ahead and look for the series you want to play as.

3. After you find the series, look to see what disc is required to play as that particular series.

4. If it says disc 1, then that means you don't have to 'switch discs'. However if it says Disc 2 or Disc 3. Then BEFORE you press Circle/A to select the series. Press home (Or in some cases ZL+ZR) to get to the WiiSX menu, then select 'Current ISO' and from there select 'Swap CD'. Finally, select Either Disc 2 or 3 and click 'resume game'

5. NOW select the series you wanted to play.

Note 2: It is EXTREMELY important that you DO NOT select a series and then 'Swap CD'. You MUST first swap the disc 'If required' THEN select your series, or else your game will say 'Please insert Disc 2/3, but it will become unresponsive, until you go to WiiSX menu and select Disc 1 again.

Title Region Game ID Result Notes
Xenogears NTSC-U SLUS-00664 Works Does not work with WiiSX Beta 2.1: Dynarec will freeze on first village attack and Interpreter will either give a code dump or play the intro over and over. Works very well on WiiSX Beta 2.0 with Dynarec, but must use save states and switch to Interpreter to save to the emulated memory card (needed to continue to disc 2)
Xenogears NTSC-U SLUS-00664 Works Dynarec, no FPS Limit, Frame Skip Off. FMVs and transitions are a bit choppy but certainly bearable; works very well rest of the time.
Tested by Cyan :
Tested with Dynarec on Mod02 (beta2.1 mod). Works fine, but can't save with normal memory card menu, you must use Save State instead.
Tested by Lother :
You must switch to Interpreter to save. Use a savestate first, then switch to Interpreter, then save. It is the only way to switch to disc 2. Playing Disc 2 now.
Xenogears NTSC-U SLUS-00664 Doesn't Work For some reason when I tested this I didn't get the same results as another poster. Dynarec has a code dump right when the initial village is attacked in the opening scenario. Interpreter has a code dump immediately after selecting new game. I tested it with multiple bin cue files with same same results

The Sony PlayStation

The PlayStation (frequently referred to in shorthand as the PS1 or PSX) is a 5th generation console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment in 1994. It was a commercial success in part to being relatively easy to program for compared to others at the time, and because its CD based media was cheaper than the competition.

Comparisons[edit]

PC[edit]

  • Mednafen PSX is an emulator focused on accuracy. It is extremely compatible, outdoing even Sony's official PSone emulator in accuracy tests. Do note if you find an exception, though. It requires a very specific BIOS for each region. The minimum system requirement is a Core 2 Duo at 2 GHz clock.
    Mednafen itself is command line only and has no GUI. You can still drag-and-drop the cue files on the executable to load games, and stdout.txt will log errors if a crash happens. There are external GUI launchers available.
    Both RetroArch and BizHawk have cores based on this emulator. They're easier to use than the standalone emulator thanks to their GUIs. The RetroArch fork of Mednafen PSX (known as Beetle PSX, or mednafen-psx, or mednafen-hw-psx) has several experimental modifications and enhancements not present in the standalone version, including a widescreen hack, CPU overclocking for smoother framerates, and increasing the internal resolution up to 8x. Increasing the resolution carries a heavy performance cost, however, since graphics are rendered in software (though an alternate core with hardware rendering exists). PGXP was also ported to the RA cores.
  • PCSX-R is an open source plugin-based emulator. The main reason to use this over mednafen is that it can render at higher resolutions without being unplayably slow.
    • PGXP is a fork of PCSX-R that aims to remove some of the limitations of the PS1 by adding texture correction, reducing polygon wobble, and reducing polygon culling. It also adds CPU overclocking, and makes a hack in PCSX-R toggleable.
  • ePSXe is a fairly standard plugin-based emulator like PCSX-R. Accuracy is typically about the same between the two, however due to being closed source and constantly lagging behind PCSX-R in features, PCSX-R is generally recommended over it. Since version 1.8.0, ePSXe has been available on Android as a paid app, but it is not recommended.
  • PCSX-ReARMed is essentially the ARM version of PCSX-R, sharing a similar core, but optimized for portable handheld devices. Its biggest draw is its NEON software renderer, which is both fast and accurate, and has the ability to render at a higher resolution without resorting to HLE plugins.
  • XEBRA has very high compatibility. Games that require subchannel data are not supported, but most other games run flawlessly. Obtuse user interface as the developer is Japanese, so be prepared.
  • NO$PSX is a well-rounded emulator by the same author of NO$GBA. There are two versions of the emulator; standard users will want to use the cut-down gaming version. It offers decent compatibility with very low spec requirements – the programmer's philosophy is to deliver a working application out of the box. As of today, it's still being developed. PocketStation is emulated through NO$GBA.
  • PSXfin is a simple emulator with simple usage. It has a lot of compatibility issues[1]. It requires a BIOS for use, but compatibility with each one is inconsistent. Development has been halted and it remains closed source. It's really only useful for very old toasters.
  • PCSX2 is primarily a PlayStation 2 emulator. Recently, backwards compatibility with PS1 games has been implemented, and PS1 games can now be played in PCSX2 the way they would be in a PS2 console, and the internal resolution can be increased as well. However, backwards compatibility in the original PS2 hardware didn't cover all games in the PS1 library, and these limitations extend to PCSX2's emulation.

For even further in-depth analysis of each emulator on a technical level, check out PS1 Tests.

It's generally recommended to use Mednafen or PCSX-R. Many use Mednafen for its accuracy at native resolution, and PCSX-R for 3D games (that don't use prerendered backgrounds) because of support for plugins which allow for better graphics quality than original hardware. Unfortunately the best plugins for increasing internal resolution and shader support (Pete OpenGL2 v2.9 and Edgbla gpuBladesoft v1.42a) are closed source and haven't been updated for years.

Consoles[edit]

  • POPS (short for PlayStation On PSP System) is the name of the program for the PSP made by Sony for their PSone Classics releases. It utilizes EBOOTs, a form of binary file for PSP, instead of bin/cue/etc, which can be made using a converter if desired. Compatibility is very high due to it being made by Sony and the PSP containing a CPU that is very similar to the one found in the PlayStation. This makes it so it isn't purely an emulator, although it does emulate the PS1s GPU. It includes support for multi-disc games (within the one EBOOT). Only native PS1 resolution is supported, with games being stretched as the user wishes to fit the screen. POPS is also available on the PlayStation 2, although compatibility is not as high.
  • PS2PSXe is another PS1 emulator for the PS2. However, this one is unofficial. Compatibility is very low. It is generally recommended to disc swap for the PS2, which in turn will utilize the built-in PS1 hardware available in every PS2. Double swapping (using the same method as a real PS1) is required for PS2s with model numbers SCPH-100xx - SCPH-390xx.
  • PlayStation 3 has a built-in software emulator with high compatibility, as it is used for PSone Classics releases on the system as well as actual PS1 discs.
  • WiiSX is a port of PCSX to the Wii. Compatibility is fairly low due to the weak power of the Wii. This plus the lack of updates to the emulator makes it generally not worth using.

Emulation issues[edit]

Rendering Quirks[edit]

Left showing native resolution and unblended dithering. Right showing HD and no dithering.
Example of jittering in PS1 games, which is more noticeable when emulating at higher internal resolutions. (Click to play)

The PS1 used some rendering shortcuts to make the most of the hardware available at the time, which cause some quirks that become even more noticeable when rendering with an increased internal resolution.

Jittering polygons are caused by low-precision fixed-point (to the native resolution) math. This issue is mostly unnoticeable at native resolutions. Mednafen-libretro and PGXP attempt to fix this.

Game Boy Advance

The PS1 hardware didn't have a z-buffer. The lack of a z-buffer causes things like polygons popping over others. Tekken character limbs are a good example to see that. It's theoretically possible to implement z-buffer in PS1 emulators/GPU plugins.[2]

No texture perspective correction causes distortion to textures at certain viewing angles, notably at the bottom near the camera. Along with low-precision math, this is a major factor in the apparent jitteryness of PS1 games. Perspective-correct texture mapping has recently been added to PCSX-R in the PGXP fork.

On real hardware, many PS1 games displayed dithering to varying degrees due to a low color depth. This dithering would blend on most TVs to make new colors and smooth gradients. Most hardware-rendered plugins use 32-bit color depth, which removes dithering, while software-rendered plugins and emulators tend to retain it. While higher color depth can be considered an enhancement, since it results in less noise and smooth gradients, some think of dithering as seen on real hardware as added shading and texture, especially on untextured polygons. A few software-rendered emulators, such as PCSX-reARMed and Mednafen-libretro, are capable of increasing internal resolution while still retaining dithering, which keeps the shading/texturing aspect while making it more subtle by making the dithering artifacts smaller.

CD format[edit]

PSX games use the CD-ROM XA (eXtended Architecture) format which is based on CDi and allows developers to use both CD-ROM and CD-DA (audio) tracks on the same disc.

Certain image formats and CD dumping methods don't support this format correctly and end up with the CD-DA tracks missing or corrupted, hence no audio. The ISO format in particular only stores the content of a CD-ROM filesystem and cannot store CD-DA tracks at all so it's generally a very bad idea to use ISO for PSX games (even though it should work for games which are single track).
