    Best Emulator: RetroArch [Beetle PSX Core]

    PlayStation emulation has been fraught with controversy, from the commercial fiasco/disaster that was Bleem to the unapproved hack/project "PSXeven". Others such as ePSXe, Xebra and pSX have taken turns holding the best-choice mantle for many years; however they are all closed-source. Furthermore, while ePSXe is compatible with a wide range of titles, it's a far less accurate emulator to Mednafen, and focuses on pointless features such as "upscaling" to resolutions far beyond what PlayStation game developers originally used during the system's lifecycle, distorting the visuals and ruining the experience of playing on the actual system.

    While Mednafen exhibits a few issues (for example, "Monkey Hero" and "Transformers - Beast Wars Transmetals" are apparently unplayable due to timing issues), the emulator is open-source, supports features such as in-game "cd changing" unlike most other alternatives, wisely doesn't use plug-ins, and is by far the most compatible and accurate PlayStation emulator to date. In fact, it came out well beyond others in an exhaustive accuracy test. RetroArch's Mednafen core offers an even better overall experience across more platforms (note that "Beetle" is the RetroArch re-brand of Mednafen).
