pSX Source RPM
This is the best multi-platform emulator for the Sony Playstation.
It is not allowed in mainstream Fedora because it's:
a) A games console emulator;
b) Proprietary/Freeware Software;
c) A piece of software which is hard to use legally
due to the need for a BIOS dump from the actual console.
It is the most accurate emulator available and despite being non-free, still
provides a better option for many users than the free alternatives currently
available (e.g. PCSX-df).
It is the only emulator I have used which passes the "Castlevania Picture Test"
and works properly with all of the available BIOS dumps (including Japanese dev
console BIOSes).
Known bug:
Does not work with ALSA's PulseAudio Plugin, it crashes the program
and this cannot be fixed within the program itself due to lack of
source code access. (Perhaps a wrapper could be made for this?)
Benefit to RPMFusion:
Users will have access to an easy-to-use Sony Playstation emulator which
doesn't appear to be packaged anywhere else!
Additionally, the binaries work on both Fedora and RHEL (with EPEL).
P.S. This is my first [potential] contribution, I'm hoping those more
experienced than I will give helpful feedback (or assistance) for making this
usable. I want to see Fedora compete with other distributions for package
availability.
