PSXS5

PSXS5 2.2.0: SwanStation as a third emulator, games from USB drives, a smooth boot intro, and a long list of fixes from testers.

SwanStation

• A third emulator (Settings → System → Emulator): SwanStation, libretro's fork of DuckStation, drawing with Vulkan and running its fast CPU recompiler. Your settings (internal resolution, PGXP, true colour, anti-aliasing, texture filtering, fast CD loading, widescreen, overclock...) apply to it too, and it uses the same memory card as the other emulators, so your saves follow you. Thanks to darkxex's SwanStationPS5 port, which PSXS5 builds on.
• Save states say which emulator made them. Each emulator has its own state format; loading a state made by another one now tells you which, instead of calling the slot empty.

Games on USB drives

• Games are found in PSXS5/, PSXS5/games/ or data/PSXS5/games/ on any USB drive or extended storage, in every format PSXS5 reads (CHD, CUE/BIN, PBP, ISO, IMG, MDF, CCD, M3U).
• The BIOS is taken from PSXS5/bios or data/PSXS5/bios on the drive when the console's bios folder has none.

New options

• Run-ahead (1 or 2 frames): less input lag.
• NeGcon analog gas and brake on R2 / L2 for NeGcon racing games, and the touchpad as a PlayStation Mouse for mouse games.
• PS1 startup intro: the white Sony screen and the PlayStation logo, as on the real console.
• Disc launch animation: the disc slides out of its case and spins up when a game starts (it can be switched off).
• Sharpening, true colour (32-bit, no dot pattern), smooth video colours for FMV, and faster screen effects (Beetle).
• RetroAchievements sign-in from the phone page. Your password goes to retroachievements.org only; PSXS5 keeps the sign-in token.
• Settings tabs across the top, switched with L1 / R1.
