In this post we’re going to be discussing the DuckStation emulator (How to play PS1 games on Android).

An emulator is a software that allow your smartphone to mimic a gaming console. We’ve already covered video game emulation and emulators here. So please check that out.

Sony Playstation 1

The Sony PlayStation 1 (PS1) is a 32-bit home console from Sony. It was released in 1994 in Japan and went on to be the best selling console of the 5th generation of Video Game consoles.

The PS1 has a very impressive library of about 7,918 games with award winning titles like:

Resident Evil 3 Nemesis
Mortal Kombat Trilogy
Spiderman 2: Enter Electro
Need for Speed: High stakes
Silent Hill
Winning Eleven/Pro Evolution Soccer
Smackdown! 2, know your role
Medal of Honor
Tomorrow Never Dies 007
Small soldiers
X-Men Mutant Academy etc.
Using the DuckStation emulator will allow you to play these classic titles on your smartphone.

Duckstation

The DuckStation (HD PS1 emulator) is an emulator of the Sony PlayStation 1. It is developed by a guy called Stenzek. It is a free game under the Creative Commons license.

When it comes to playing Playstation 1 games on Android, the DuckStation emulator is the best way to do it. This emulator supports all PS1 ROMS in formats such as cue, iso, img, ecm, mds, chd etc. This means there should be no issues with game incompatibility.

System requirements
In order to run this emulator, you’ll need a phone with at least:

SoC: something with at least 4 A53 CPU cores clocked at 2.0GHz and a decent GPU. Examples include Helio P22, G25, G35, SD 439, Unisoc T606 and SC9863A. There’s also the Exynos 850 amongst others.
RAM: 2GB
OS: 32-bit Android 7.0
Whilst a phone with these specs will run many games, you’ll run into the problem of frame rate drops, loading hiccups, lag and a lack of controller support.

To enjoy DuckStation, the recommended specs are a phone with:

SoC: A lower midrange phone with an SoC containing A73 or A75 CPU cores. Examples include Helio G70, G80, G85, G88, Snapdragon 662, 665, 670, 680, 685 etc.
RAM: 4GB
OS: 64-bit Android 10.0 and above
A phone with these specs should ensure that you not only run games very well, but that you’ll also enjoy controller support.

Controller support
This emulator supports all Bluetooth controllers provided that your phone also has support for them. In my opinion, playing emulator games with a controller is the best way to play.

How to set up the DuckStation emulator

Step 1: Install DuckStation from PlayStore.
Step 2: Create a folder in your internal storage and name it DuckStation.
Step 3: Enter the emulator and tap on the “drop down menu”, go to “game directory” and choose the DuckStation folder that you created.
Step 4: You’ll need to source for your own BIOS image. It is very easy to source for online, just use Google. When you find it, download and copy to the BIOS subfolder inside the DuckStation folder. If there isn’t any, create one.
Note: To check if you have done the above correctly, go to App, tap on the drop down menu and click on start BIOS. The iconic PS1 boot sequence should come on.
Step 5: You’ll have to download PS1 ROMS from the internet. This is tricky part. You’ll have to be careful not to download viruses lol. If you want games, use this dump I found on GitHub (visit the link of the bottom of the page).
Step 6: Games usually come compressed so you’ll have to decompress them. This is so that you can extract the cue and bin files that you actually need to play games. You can do this with most file managers around. Copy cue and bin files to the DuckStation folder.
Note: If done correctly, they should pop up on the homepage of the emulator.

Pairing a controller 🎮

If you’ve got a controller, simply pair it to your phone first, then hit the drop down menu and go to the controller 🎮 settings.

Click on port one, choose DualShock under controller type and then choose Automatic Mapping. That’s it. You’re good to go.

Other settings

Other settings you may want to tinker with include:

Settings – Display – Aspect ratio 20:9
Settings – General – Emulation orientation (landscape)
Settings – General – GPU renderer (Vulkan)
