Toying with emulators again and discovered Duckstation which impressed me by working right out the box without any arsing about with overclocking (which has been enabled in this recording, solely due to fact I have enabled the AI poly scaling cheat code). Which made for a lovely change compared to my experience of attempting to wrestle PCSXR to run the PGXP upscaling correctly without the infamous graphical artefacts, clocking issues and broken plugins.

I made this video for my own personal comparison between the two emulators as I'm currently trying to match Duckstation to the sweet spot I finally found with my original emulator. Fancied sharing it as It's quite interesting in the very slight differences (which are presumably due to configuration differences).

The timing seems to be off between the two as one of the games seems to be running slight too fast/slow. A major benefit to Duckstation is the minimal artefacts which can be clearly compared to the "bloated" and choppy tyres from PCSXR. All in all im chuffed PS1 emulation lives on and I love revisiting one of my favourite games to learn there's an even better way to play it again!
