## What it is
ProjectPSX is an experimental emulator of the original Sony PlayStation (PS1/PSX) written in C# with no external dependencies. It implements the MIPS R3000A CPU, GTE, GPU software rasterizer, CDROM, SPU, MDEC, and other console components, with WinForms and OpenTK frontends.

## Use cases
- play ps1 games on pc
- emulate playstation 1 in c#
- learn how a playstation emulator works
- run psx bin/cue images
- study mips r3000a emulation
- software rasterized gpu emulation

## When to choose
- you want a dependency-free, readable C# PS1 emulator to learn from or hack on
- you want to play many classic PS1 titles on Windows with basic keyboard input
- you need a headless emulator core library to build your own frontend

## When to avoid
- you need high compatibility or an official compatibility list
- you want accurate CDROM timings or reverb audio
- you need gamepad support, save states, or upscaling features found in mature emulators like DuckStation

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: simulation, graphics, audio-processing, gui
- domain: gaming-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cross-platform, dotnet
- tags: psx-emulator, playstation, mips, csharp, retro-gaming, console-emulation
