Pcsx_rearmed is a Playstation 1 emulator running on Maemo-Leste.

It works only on Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid 4 at the moment (thanks to their physical keyboards).

The emulator uses a generic GTK UI: The old maemo 5 touch GUI is not working at the moment.

* Playstation games are playable, with sound and input, running at 25-30 fps on N900 with frameskip=1 usually but really depending of the game and if it is a NSCT or PAL version.

Without frameskip and sound, games run usually at 50 or 60 fps with default CPU frequencies and buildin_gpu. But again, it is really depending of the game: some of them are 'locked' at 24 fps (PAL) or 30 fps (NSCT).

On N900, boost mode (overclock) is recommended if you play with sound. Otherwise it works well with stock frequencies, specially with the buildin_gpu.

Default configuration is already optimised without sound and 25-30 fps. Like other emulators hildon compositing must be deactivated while playing, using Ctl+Shift+N.

Keymapping and all other parameters can be modified directly in the user config file available in /usr/games/pcsx/.pcsx/pcsx.cfg

Only buildin_gpu and gpu_unai are working (but really well.

It is possible (not all games) to speed up and increase framerate using the 'fast forward' option.

WARNING: on N900 in the GUI, 'enter menu' is associated to 'escape' key.
'back' is associated to 'e' key (hardcoded).

Almost all configuration parameters are available from the GUI.

== Tips ==

If (for some reason) the GUI is not working, it is possible to directly launch a game from command line:

/usr/games/pcsx/pcsx /game_dir/your_game.zip

Default keymap is visible in /usr/games/pcsx/.pcsx/pcsx.cfg

On N900, to activate boost mode (720MHz or 805MHz):

As root:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost

echo 720000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

== TODO ==

* Implement sane default keys for the devices

* Try to implement Maemo 5 -touch- UI
