Introduction
============

pSX emulates the Sony Playstation 1, pretty much everything is emulated
(to my knowledge) and most games run perfectly. It runs under Windows and
Linux.

One thing that should be noted is that pSX DOES NOT use plugins.
The emulator is completely self contained.

The emulator has been designed to be as easy and unobtrusive to use as possible - in most cases you will not need to configure anything to use it (except maybe the controls).

Installation
============

Extract all files from the .rar (or .tar.bz2 file under Linux) including folders. The emulator requires a PS1 BIOS file which should be placed in the bios directory. By default the emulator will look for scph1001.bin
- this version is highly recommend because it is the only well tested one although other bioses should work.

Once the emulator is running you can change the BIOS from the configuration menu. In the event that you only have a different bios file you can edit psx.ini to get the emulator running (run psx.exe once, you will get an error message, now look for psx.ini).

Installation notes for Linux
============================

Under Linux pSX requires the following shared libraries/packages :

OpenGL ALSA GTK GTKGLEXT libxml2

pSX will store its settings in ~/.pSX (the memcards, saves and screenshots dirctories will also be created here). If psx.ini is present in the application directory it will be read from there instead (for backwards compatibility with verions before v1.13 - you can also move psx.ini here if you don't want per-user settings, remember to make it world writable though otherwise users will be unable to save any settings).

Running games
=============

The emulator supports .cue/.bin, .ccd/.img/.sub, .iso, and .mdf/.mds CD images, the easiest way to run a game is to run the exe then select "Insert CD image" from the File menu. It is also possible to start a game from
