We have already seen some websites that allow us to play games directly from the browser without having to install anything, but if there was something we did not expect, it was to find an online PlayStation emulator that would allow us to immerse ourselves in the entire original catalog of the first Sony console .
The PlayStation online emulator
Although there are countless options available when it comes to emulating platforms, you always have to use equipment with certain performance so that the emulation works without problems. Today solutions like the Raspberry Pi are more than enough to play a lot of retro platforms.
But you are probably looking for something simpler and more direct so that you do not waste too much time configured controls, looking for websites to download ROMs and other complications that only delay your game.
Well, PS1 Fun has arrived, the solution you were just looking for. The reason for this statement is none other than the simplicity and speed with which the service works, since we will only have to choose the game on the web to start working after a quick download.
How does it work?
You only need a web browser and access the PS1 Fun page to have in a simple click with the entire original PlayStation catalog. We are talking about Sony’s first console, a platform that marked several generations with the incorporation of CD as a physical medium and three-dimensional graphics accompanied by CD-quality sounds.
The process is very simple, since we will only have to navigate through the list of games ordered by initial letter (we can also use the search engine), choose the desired game and start playing after completing the download that will occur when executing it.
In addition, the website includes a social component that will allow you to know which games are being played the most, and which are the best rated by the community. This will help you discover some games that you did not play at the time and that are all the rage in the community. The list of the most played games at the time of writing is as follows:
- Tekken 3
- Crash Bandicoot
- Crash Team Racing
- Crash Bandicoot Warped
- Disney’s hercules
- Pepsiman
- Twisted metal 2
- Winning Eleven 3
- Crash Bandicoot 2
Is it legal?
Taking into account that practically the entire PlayStation catalog is being offered, it is very possible that the web ends up being knocked down due to some complaint, however, because the web performs a download, it is possible that the ROMS are not stored in your server, so it would have to be the server that stores the ROMs that is forced to remove the contents.
At the moment the web works perfectly, and we only had to wait about 6 seconds to start playing a game in Tekken 3 . The waiting time is almost non-existent, so we can say that the service works perfectly.
Controls mapping, game save …
The emulator offers a large number of functions on the screen, since we can map the buttons to our liking with the idea of being able to play with a gamepad. To configure the controls we will only have to click on the keyboard icon, and a pop-up window will help us to define the buttons on the control device we want.
Also, if you start a game in a long game, you can save the course of it at any time by pressing the import game button. The system will create a file that you will store on your computer, to later load it with the save game button, which will ask you for the file that you saved at the time.
Following the order of controls that appear on the screen, these are the functions that we have available:
- Play full screen
- Silence
- Apply visual effect
- Configure controls
- Load game
- Save game
- Play multiplayer (coming soon)
- Game information
