Mednafen (I believe it's available on BSD https://mednafen.github.io/releases/ Mednafen has been successfully compiled on: FreeBSD Linux NetBSD OpenBSD Windows... Yeah) supports playstation1/psx emulation, there are quite a lot of good titles, starting with classics such as tekken3 for instance, or the syphon filter series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcxX4GO2NO4 fuck yeah

I've made a setup recently for desktop, the command line goes as follow:
>mednafen /path/to/tekken_3.m3u -fs 1 -sound 1 -video.frameskip 0 -sound.driver sdl -video.driver opengl -psx.videoip 0 -psx.stretch aspect -video.deinterlacer bob_offset -psx.tblur 1
.m3u are playlist files you get or create yourself to launch a playstation bin with mednafen, since mednafen can't launch psx "bin" files directly
Your typical .m3u file is named after your game, like for tekken_3.bin you create a .m3u file called tekken_3.m3u and save it in the tekken_3.bin's folder, and in the .m3u file you paste this
>tekken_3.cue
And then, of course you need to create the tekken_3.cue file and save it in the same folder as the .bin and .m3u. And in it you paste that:
FILE "tekken_3.bin" Binary TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00
....
And it's the same for all games, pretty much
For multiple discs you go as follow:
In the .m3u file:
thousand_arms_(disc_1).cue thousand_arms_(disc_2).cue
And in the respective .cue files:
FILE "thousand_arms_(disc_1).bin" Binary TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "thousand_arms_(disc_2).bin" Binary TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00
Now to switch disc during game https://mednafen.github.io/documentation/#Section_multicd_games
>To play a game that consists of more than one CD, you will need to create an M3U file(plain-text, ".m3u" extension), and enter the filenames of the CUE/TOC/CCD files, one per line. Load the M3U file with Mednafen instead of the CUE/TOC/CCD files, and use the F6 and F8 keys to switch among the various discs available.
Now if you never configured joysticks or keyboard intputs for mednafen I can help, but I'll stop there pretending you already went through that weird ass shit...
Cheers for the info - I'll take a look and see.
The first step is going to be a backup and do a couple of test rebuilds with whichever of the BSDs still hasn't swallowed a CoC to appease the woke.
