gopsx, a PlayStation 1 emulator written in Go

TODO

• MDEC
• SPU
• Fix the CD-ROM implementation
• Fix the GTE implementation (some of the tests fail)
• Correct CPU pipeline emulation

Usage

1. Get a PlayStation 1 BIOS.
2. To boot the BIOS, run <command> -bios "BIOS_PATH_HERE". The default BIOS path is SCPH1001.BIN for now.
3. To insert a disc, specify it's path with <command> -disc "DISC_PATH_HERE". It should be a .bin file (.cue files are not supported yet)
4. You can see other arguments by running <command> -h. To set boolean arguments, use <command> -arg=true or -arg=false
5. You can run tests by running go test

Status

Implemented:

• CPU
• DMA
• Timers
• Basic CD-ROM implementation
• Gamepad (still needs testing)
• Interrupts
• GPU (not much)
• GTE (very simple implementation, can display the PlayStation logo)

Default keyboard keymappings:

Gamepad	Keyboard
Start	Backspace
Select	Right Shift
DPadUp	Arrow Up
DPadRight	Arrow Right
DPadDown	Arrow Down
DPadLeft	Arrow Left
L2	Keypad Divide
R2	Keypad Multiply
L1	Keypad 7
R1	Keypad 9
Triangle	Keypad 8
Circle	Keypad 6
Cross	Keypad 2

You can change them in the main.go file, but it would be great to be able to do that from the CLI
