duckstation is an excellent Playstation 1 emulator by Stenzek. It has a very good compabiility and it is quite performant. It also supports all kinds of enhancements such as high resolution rendering and PGXP which can lessen the "wobble" and distortion visible in a lot of PSX games.

Thus I want to present to you my port of it to Switch, featuring a custom deko3D graphics backend.

You can download the newest version here: https://github.com/RSDuck/duckstation/releases/tag/prerelease-2

Old versions:

Installation is the usual extract it onto the root of the SD. Before starting a game make sure to bind keys for controller (you can use the automatic mapping feature) and to bind a hotkey for pause key(combo), otherwise you can't exit the application.

Do you use the Album to open the hbmenu? If you do don't, use title injection (with default Atmosphere settings open any game while pressing the R button, you can also change this via config files).

I had implemented a dialogue which should be displayed when Album (applet) mode is detected, though I never tested it until now and it looks like it crashes instead of displaying it *sigh*.

Also don't use any forwarders are other stupid things like this.

The nro is now self contained, all supplementary files are inside the romfs.
