+A newer port based off of the RUNIX work. The author of this plans to reconstruct the RUNIX memory card filesystem structure, alongside improving video drivers and a few other things. As of 2025 there has been relatively recent commits and boot testing on HW and emulation has been done. However, there still has been no success in reconstructing filesystem structures.

+**Important note about optical drive emulators and wiki recommendations:**
-There are two optical drive emulators available for the PlayStation 1, and they have quite the rivalry in the community. The more expensive is the PS1O; the cheaper is the xStation. In short, the PS1O, installed to the parallel port, allows using the original drive, and it can be unplugged in order to free up the parallel. However, it has a very poor DRM system for firmware updates (eliminates easy resale), and reports of both compatibility and company kindness are VERY mixed. It works on any model with a parallel port, and possibly every model w/ difficulty. In contrast, the xStation completely replaces the original drive of the console. However, it is further integrated with other mod peripherals, like the MemCard Pro, and appears to have both superior compatibility and company kindness. It works on earlier revisions with a separate CD-DSP. Due to the significant EOP-related benefits of both the PS1O (preserve drive & parallel) and the xStation (no closed DRM, functions better/company nicer), io55 takes no stance on which emulator is superior. This is a decision you must make on your own. Thus, the “recommended overall” tag will be split into two, recommended overall for xStation, and for PS1O.
