I experienced some crashes with Vulkan (could also be some other setting that I was testing), but the other rendering modes work fine. But if you ask me which one is better between DuckStation and ePSXe, I'd say the former is clearly the better one.ĭuckStation has a lot more options including support for Software Renderer, Open GL/D3D/Vulkan, PGXP, a better interface, and of course the fact that it's actively developed is an additional plus. I can't comment on how DuckStation compares to the Beetle (Mednafen) Retroarch core, because I haven't used Beetle a lot. The emulator also comes in a portable version for PC. I switched to it on my Android phone before trying the Windows version, and they both work great. You don't need to enable Depth Buffer, at least I didn't have to for the games I played.ĭuckStation is an open source emulator, it is available for Windows, MacOS, Linux and Android. This will also enable Culling Correction and Texture Correction. I wanted to include animated GIFs showing what the issue looks like, but the recorded images were too large, they were like 4MB each and that could slow down the page considerably.Īnyway, to fix the glitchy graphics, navigate to the Enhancement Settings > PGXP and toggle Geometry Correction. Note: If you are experiencing weird animations, flickering NPC character graphics, etc, it's likely because you haven't enabled the perspective PGXP settings. Tired of slow scenes? You'll be happy to know that the emulator has a Turbo mode, which can be configured from the Controller Settings page. You can change the display renderer, aspect ratio, resolution, fast-forward, rewind, among several options. whether it should be enabled, disabled, etc. And it also tells you what the default value for every setting is, i.e.

The best part about DuckStation is that it has a nice description for each setting that explains what changing the option will do. Capture a screenshot by tapping the F10 key, there are plenty of other keyboard shortcuts in the emulator. Switch to Full Screen mode using Alt + Enter. To get back to your game, hit the resume button, and it loads the save instantly.

Quick save (to the last used slot) by using F2, and quick load from the slot using F1. DuckStation supports save states, and you have 10 per game which should be plenty for most games.
