Sad news. This is the only PSX emu I've ever used because I always considered it the best.
I don't know, the PSX is old and well understood enough now that in my head it's in the bundle of "just do Retroarch" systems along with all the 8 and 16 bit stuff.
I don't even remember what core I usually run for it. They're all at least serviceable to great.
DuckStation is the main PSX libretro core.
It's one of them, and it's fine, but it's not what I've been using. I've been bouncing between PCSX and Beetle and they're both just fine. I mean, at this point PSX games run on anything.
Fair enough. PS2 is still a pain.
Yeah, PS2 is standalone business still. And in its defense, PCSX2 is super user friendly as a standalone package and supports most of the shared stuff you'd want from Retroarch anyway.
Either PCSX2 or Play!, yeah.
