PS1 Emulator Rules (Updated 5/2022)
6 years ago
Germany

Hey everyone.

From now on only these emulators will be accepted for PS1 speedruns:

For an easier verification process, it is highly encouraged to show the emulator window (Mednafen/XEBRA) or the core settings (RetroArch) at some point in your submission.

RetroArch's settings must match the following:

  • CPU Dynarec: Disabled (Beetle Interpreter)
  • Dynarec DMA/CPU Event Cycles: 128 (Default)
  • CPU Frequency Scaling (Overclock): 100% (native)
  • GTE Overclock: Disabled
  • GPU Rasterizer Overclock: 1x (native)
  • CD Loading Speed: 2x (native)
  • CD Access Method: Synchronous
  • PAL (European) Video Timing Override: Disabled
  • Skip BIOS: Disabled

All runs on other emulators that were submitted before this date will stay on the leaderboards. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here.

EDIT 5/2022 (Mysticore): Specified the required settings for RetroArch and added the recommendation to show these settings when submitting a run on said emulator.
