WiiStation, formerly known as WiiSXRX_2022, is an emulator for the Sony PlayStation 1 (PS1/PSX/PSone) designed for the Nintendo Wii/Wii U. It was created by forking the original WiiSXRX emulator by NiuuS, which was originally a port of PCSX-Reloaded, but with many changes from PCSX-ReARMed.
The WiiStation emulator has been improved in several ways, including incorporating the CDROM and CDRISO codes from PCSX-ReARMed, which has greatly improved compatibility. CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) tracks and multi-tracks are now supported. The timer codes from PCSX-ReARMed have also been incorporated, and the DFSound module from PCSX-ReARMed has been combined with the SDL library, resulting in improved sound quality.
The dynamic compilation instructions have been modified to allow games like Final Fantasy 9 and Biohazard 3 (Resident Evil 3) to run. The emulator also supports multiple languages and has a specific font. For certain Chinese culture games, the specific BIOS is automatically loaded. There are also minor corrections such as disc changing (swap) and automatic fixes for some games.
