PCSX-Reloaded, also known as PCSX-R or PCSXR, is an open-source, plugin-based PlayStation emulator.
Setup Guide
Firstly download and extract the PCSX-R emulator from the official site.
You will also need some games and BIOS files to match the region of the games.
Copy your BIOS files to the "bios" folder inside the PCSXR folder you just extracted.
Copy your games to a folder together somewhere in your hard drive.
You will also require the Nuvee plugin zip file which you can download Below, inside you will find a folder "nuvee_ps1_pad guncon1"
Go into that folder and then into the "bin" folder.
Inside you will find a file called "nuvee_psx_pad.dll", Extract this file to the "plugins" folder inside your PCSXR folder.
Now we will start to configure the emulator.
Load the PCSXR executable file to load the emulator and then from the top menu select "Configuration" then "Plugins & Bios".
A new menu will pop up where you can select various plugins and settings.
At the bottom of the menu you will see buttons to set the BIOS and Plugins directories, Press the corresponding buttons and use the file manager to point the emulator to the correct folders inside its root directory.
Next select your Graphics and Sound plugins from the drop downs.
For this tutorial we will be using the "Open GL Driver" for the Graphics and "Direct Sound" for the Sound.
Click the "Configure" button under the Graphics plugin drop down.
You can play with most of the options in this new menu to tune your settings but it is recommended to have the following set:
"Fullscreen Mode" should be enabled, and set your desktop resolution to whatever you use.

"Reload" has "Manual" in the drop down box, "Cursor" is set to "Hidden", "Model" should be set to "Namco", "Left" should be set to "Trigger", "Right" should be set to "A" and "Middle" should be "B".
