"Mini PS" PlayStation Classic confirms rearming with open source simulator PCSX.

Sony's mini PS uses the simulator PCSXReArmed, but Sony was not friendly to this simulator in the past.

Like Nintendo, Sony's mini-replica console PlayStationClassic, which is expected to be officially released on February 3, 65438, also executes old classic games through simulators. But unlike Nintendo's own simulator, Sony directly adopted the PlayStation simulator "PCSXReArmed" designed by the open source architecture in the past.

PCSXReArmed is a PlayStation simulator built in the form of open source architecture in the past, which is mainly used for hardware devices with Arm architecture. So it was originally used for the open source game console "Pandora" and later transplanted to the Android platform.

Because users can play the game ROM content obtained through abnormal channels, Sony believes that its content assets will be affected, so it has been taking tough measures to curb such simulators. Therefore, the upcoming PlayStationClassic actually uses PCSXReArmed instead of Sony's own simulator, which is obviously a lot of speculation.

First, Sony adopts the open source PCSX Streamed in the upcoming PlayStationClassic, which means that Sony has reached a * * * understanding with the PCSX Streamed team to some extent, or adopted the Arm architecture design based on the internal hardware of PlayStationClassic, resulting in Sony having no extra time to design new simulator software. Secondly, Sony may continue to cooperate with the PCSX Streamed team in the future, so that users can continue to play PlayStgtion game content through PCSX Streamed.
