PSeudo JS

What PSeudo JS is
PSeudo JS is a JavaScript emulator for PlayStation (PSX) that runs on the web and can load some commercial games. Its code combines .h headers and .js files, then inlines modular code before runtime; it is compatible with ES5 JavaScript and later. Building it requires the Clang compiler and a terminal build command. To run the project, users need a localhost server such as Apache, and testing requires a valid BIOS file in the bios folder. The maker does not provide information about where to find a BIOS file. Development progress is listed for several components: CPU Mips R3000A at 95%, DMA at 90%, CD Decoder at 75%, Audio at 60%, and XA Audio at 10%. The maker describes the speed and overall experience as mediocre and says timing is inaccurate. The CPU uses a slow interpreter, with a JavaScript tracer intended to improve speed planned for later. PSeudo JS is free and open source under the Apache 2.0 license.
Who it suits
It may suit developers or technically minded users interested in a JavaScript PSX emulator who can build and serve a web project locally. Users need to provide a valid BIOS file themselves.
What it does well
- Free and open source under Apache 2.0.
- Can load some commercial games.
- Compatible with ES5 JavaScript and later.
- Uses WebAudio and WebGL.
What to know first
- Requires Clang to build.
- Must run from a localhost server.
- A valid BIOS file is required.
- The maker reports inaccurate timing and slow performance.
Limits
The maker describes speed and the overall experience as mediocre at best, with quite inaccurate timing. The CPU currently relies on a slow interpreter; a JavaScript tracer is planned for later.
Getting started
- Open the project website at https://naden.co/pseudo.
- Build the project with Clang by running the repository’s build command in a terminal.
- Run it from a localhost server such as Apache.
- Place a valid BIOS file in the bios folder for testing.
Verdict
PSeudo JS offers an open-source web emulator project, but its own description notes performance and timing limitations. Building, local hosting, and providing a BIOS file are prerequisites.
