Drop a PlayStation game file and play instantly — no install, nothing uploaded to a server. Works on desktop, Android and iPhone with on-screen touch controls.
No games yet — add your first PlayStation disc image above. Files stay in this browser (IndexedDB) and are never uploaded anywhere.
Use your own dumps of games you own. .chd is the best format (single, compressed file). For .cue + .bin sets, select all files together — they are bundled into one archive automatically. Multi-disc sets can be supplied as a .m3u plus its discs (select together).

Gamepads are detected automatically. Re-map anything under Controller Settings in the emulator menu (including Player 2).
On-screen controls appear automatically: D-Pad (or analog stick), face buttons and shoulder buttons. Rotate to landscape for the best view, use the emulator's fullscreen button, and pair a Bluetooth controller for a console-like feel. Left-handed layouts and button sizes can be changed under the on-screen settings.
In-game memory-card saves and save states are stored in your browser and restored next time you play the same game. Use the emulator menu for save states, fast-forward, shaders and cheats.
No BIOS is required — the core uses its built-in HLE BIOS. If a specific game needs the
real thing, add your own scph1001/101/5500/5501/5502.bin with the button
above (only add BIOS files from your own console).
A game that boots to a black screen is usually a bad dump or an unsupported format —
try re-ripping as .chd. Very large games (> 700 MB) may hit
browser memory limits. If your browser evicts site storage, re-add the game (enable the
storage permission prompt when offered).
Two players on one machine: connect two gamepads (or split the keyboard) and map Player 2 under Controller Settings → Player 2. Multitap games are supported by the core's multitap option. On one phone, a second Bluetooth gamepad is the comfortable way to play together.
Press the Netplay button in the emulator's bottom menu to host a room or join a friend's room — everyone controls the same running game. Requirements: all players must load the identical game file (same dump), and the host's connection quality determines the feel. Best on desktop; the netplay menu is part of the desktop UI.
One player owns the simulation; inputs are relayed to the host and the game state is
kept in sync. This is the same architecture described in the
technical plan (Mode B), shipped as EmulatorJS's netplay
module with a dedicated server at netplay.phanxa.com.
