== | == Description == | ||
Playstation 1 emulator called internally ps1hd. Emulation on PS4 is handled differently comparing to PS3. Each PS1 game PS4 package file (.pkg) include emulator itself, so there is no included emulator in PS4 firmware. | |||
Fact that emulator is now included in game pkg, is slightly complicating providing [[PS1_Classics_Emulator_Compatibility_List|compatibility list]], as emulators include some per title patches, and different default settings. | |||
Next difference is that BIOS/ROM in external file is included in .pkg, emu need different region bios for different region titles. This time bios is not any special version, standard SCPH-550X is used. | |||
PS1 Emulator supports LUA scripting by "Lua Bridge", is powerful interface that provide many possibilities to improve compatibility. | |||
Memory card is created at first run of emulator, so you don't need to include one in pkg. | |||
Emulator have some leftovers from PSP emulator (like axinsnreplace), so core of non PS1 specific functions is the same as in PSP emu. Rest of emu seems to be "inspired" by mednafen. | |||

=== Alternative solution - Disc Merge === | === Alternative solution - Disc Merge === | ||
Alternatively ps1 discs can be merged into single bin/cue. There could be potential limitations in file size because MM:SS:FF can only go up to 99:99:99 which translates to around 870MB. For sure this will be problem for games with CDDA tracks. For now there is no confirmation that this limit apply to data only games. How hard is disc merging depends highly on game we want to use. Parasite Eve is one of easiest games to do that since second disc check is triggered only if files from disc 2 are not present on current disc, which they are since discs are merged. Game also use the same EXE and PE file on both discs, and do not use lba based tables. So merging discs is literally repacking them into single disc. But different games use different approaches, games like MGS need additional patches to few files to skip shell open checks, and lba adjustments. For now Chinese Parasite Eve fan translation is only confirmed game that works (thx 苏宇 for playing whole game to test it). | Alternatively ps1 discs can be merged into single bin/cue.
