ePSXe is a PlayStation (PSX/PS1) emulator for Windows, Linux, MacOSX and Android. It runs PS1 games from disc images and CD-ROMs, with configuration files, BIOS support and documentation available through the project's downloads and documentation sections.

The emulator includes an x86 recompiler and interpreter CPU modes, PSX CPU overclocking, and internal GPUCORE, SPUCORE and INPUTCORE modules. It supports ISOs in CHD format, PBP images larger than 2GB, cheat codes, savestates, game lists, DPI awareness, vsync, and OpenGL1/OpenGL2 rendering. Input handling includes XInput devices, gamepad configuration and vibration, while local netplay is available between ePSXe versions from 2.0.5 onward. The Android edition is distributed through Google Play, and the Linux and MacOSX builds use GTK+3.
