To play you need to use "Run->Power(Run)" or F5. Manually copying the file and renaming it works as well.įile->Open-> "CD-ROM via SPTI." for a real CD in your CDROM drive or Daemon Tools emulated drive and select any file on the root of the CD.įile->Open-> "CD-ROM Image." for an Image file (ISO,CUE, etc.) that has the same effect as the former, but you may have problems with CD-Audio and multi track CDs or they simply will not load at all. That will copy the file to the XEBRA directory and rename it OSROM (no file extension). If you are having problems with a game you can still add a BIOS by going to File -> Open -> OSROM image, then finding a BIOS file. Recent versions of XEBRA comes with a BIOS replacement. Most of the other options are for debugging or advanced tuning of the emulator. Most options, such open/close shell, power, reset, start/stop card, loading memory card image and so on, work pretty much as they would if you did these things on a real console. As of the 20th June 2015 version of XEBRA, XEBRA.EXE itself has a simplistic BIOS that runs the vast majority of games, and ARBEX.EXE has been removed. Older versions of XEBRA had ARBEX.EXE, an alternate version of XEBRA.EXE that did not need a BIOS to run games, but couldn't run as much as XEBRA.EXE + a BIOS could.Of course, this depends on whether the dump itself is accurate. In general, CloneCD allows for more accuracy. This can be used to get certain games working, although development of the emulator has come to the point where this is usually not necessary. You can save a configuration, then load it in XEBRA. SIM.EXE: Highly advanced simulation options.MCIM.EXE: Another memory card manager, closely modeled after the one in the PlayStation BIOS.MCM.EXE: A memory card manager that allows you to edit memory card image files directly.XEBRA itself is made of a few different parts: The audio will remain in perfect sync with the emulation and all crackling, buffering settings issues, stutter loops (when menu is selected) are no longer present.
A sticking point with XEBRA is that the GUI attempts to emulate everything you can do with a PlayStation, so it's somewhat user-unfriendly.Īs of Oct 11th 2015 build, XEBRA uses WaveOut as sound output. The research and the emulator were both by Japanese programmer Dr.Hell. XEBRA is based on research from reverse-engineering the PlayStation, resulting in the most accurate PlayStation emulator possible.
