About PCSX-ReARMed
PCSX-ReARMed is a PlayStation emulator based on PCSX-Reloaded, which itself draws on code from PCSX, PCSX-df and PCSX-Revolution. It is optimized for ARM processors, so it suits handhelds and low-power devices.
The repository includes build targets for several devices, including Maemo, Miyoo handhelds and BlackBerry QNX, plus a libretro makefile for use as a core in RetroArch-style frontends.
Strengths
