Editor's Review
Developed by Stenzek, DuckStation is an arcade game available on Google Play. Its store tagline reads: "DuckStation HD PS1 PSX Emulator." With 1 Million+ installs on Google Play, it holds an average rating of 4.4 from 18.5K user ratings. The latest version (0.1-8969-g611bb8fb4) was released on 2026-10-24, so the game is still being actively updated. Good to know: it needs about 13 MB of storage.
How To Play?

OpenGL, Vulkan and software rendering

Upscaling, texture filtering, and true colour (24-bit) in hardware renderers

Widescreen rendering in supported games (no stretching!)

PGXP for geometry precision, texture correction, and depth buffer emulation (fixes texture "wobble"/polygon fighting)

Adaptive downsampling filter

Description
DuckStation is an simulator/emulator of the Sony PlayStation(TM) / PSX / PS1 console, focusing on playability, speed, and long-term maintainability. The goal is to be as accurate as possible while maintaining high performance. A "BIOS" ROM image is required to start the emulator and to play games. A ROM image is not provided with the emulator for legal reasons, you should dump this from your own console using Caetla/Unirom/etc. Games are NOT provided with the emulator, it can only be used to play legally purchased and dumped games. DuckStation supports cue, iso, img, ecm, mds, chd, and unencrypted PBP game images. If your games are in other formats, you will need to re-dump them. For single track games in bin format, you can use https://www.duckstation.org/cue-maker/ to generate cue files. Features include: - OpenGL, Vulkan and software rendering - Upscaling, texture filtering, and true colour (24-bit) in hardware renderers - Widescreen rendering in supported games (no stretching!) - PGXP for geometry precision, texture correction, and depth buffer emulation (fixes texture "wobble"/polygon fighting) - Adaptive downsampling filter - Post processing shader chains (GLSL and experimental Reshade FX). - 60fps in PAL games where supported - Per-game settings (set enhancements and controller mapping for each game individually) - Up to 8 controllers in supported game with multitap

However, due to it being a more accurate emulator, hardware requirements can be moderate. If you have a 32-bit ARM device, please do not expect the emulator to perform well - you will need at least a 1.5GHz CPU for good performance. If you have an external controller, you will need to map the buttons and sticks in settings.
