We already know the Xbox Series consoles are a great source of emulation. We've seen games such as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess played through the two systems, and things are constantly improving. According to a new video from Modern Vintage Gamer (MVG), a new PlayStation 1 emulator is showcasing some "awesome" results.
By using the Xbox Series S's developer mode, users can gain access to a ton of emulation software. While we won't be outlining how, and don't recommend using this software yourself, the results are fascinating all the same.
One of the latest emulators, known as DuckStation 1, is said to be a fantastic piece of software for emulating PlayStation 1 titles. As evidenced in the video, numerous games such as Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider, Chrono Cross and more are presented in crisp, smooth gameplay. As mentioned by MVG, it's an emulator "that focuses on speed, accuracy and maintainability - and it runs on the Xbox Series S|X thanks to a UWP build and Direct X12 support".
Along with the PlayStation 1, other consoles such as the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2 and even the Nintendo DS can be emulated thanks to the consoles' impressive capabilities. Again, we advise it's at your own risk and don't recommend following through with this, but you can't deny the results are mighty impressive.
What do you think about PlayStation 1 emulation on the Xbox Series systems? Drop us a comment and let us know.

This is really cool. Tempted to get a Series S and try it. Wouldn't risk attempting it on my Series X though haha
I've tried this and there's a retail mode version as well and it runs brilliantly, if ever anyone wants an emulation box to put under the TV the Series S would be a great option
That was quite impressive. I had to mention it yesterday over on PushSquare after they put up an article on DF's AI upscaling of a 'MGS' trailer - which was quite impressive, but the Series S can run that game at 4k/60 with 'better' texture warping, texture filtering etc too...
Chrono Cross at 60fps. Interesting.
Yeah, it can't do VR......I really want a VR halo.
Great deal to just buy an XSX for this alone. A lot better than Anbernic of Bittboy for. Just 2-3x more

I've got Retroarch setup on my Series S and there really is no risk of anything going wrong. You have to pay a small fee to get Developer mode and then you're just running UWP apps in that mode. I think it's amazing how great an emulation machine the Series S can be
@Magonigal thanks =) will wait to next pay day and keep and eye out for a series S. Looking forward to it haha

Emulation is exactly what I’m contemplating getting one for. I’m watching this with interest.
For anyone thinking of setting this up I would recommend the Archades Youtube channel for some excellent videos on exactly how to get things going
@Doctorwhoooourgh Check your local Walmart. I don't know if it's a mistake but twice now in the past few months they had several in their stores. The last time they did I snagged one for my wife for her to play CoD on and that was a few weeks ago.
Microsoft does what Sonydon't.
