- Optional automatic switching of memory cards for each game
## System Requirements
- A CPU faster than a potato. But it needs to be 64-bit otherwise you won't get a recompiler and it'll be slow. There are no plans to add any 32-bit recompilers.
- A CPU faster than a potato. But it needs to be 64-bit (either x86_64 or AArch64/ARMv8) otherwise you won't get a recompiler and it'll be slow. There are no plans to add any 32-bit recompilers.
- For the hardware renderers, a GPU capable of OpenGL 3.0/OpenGL ES 3.0/Direct3D 11 Feature Level 10.0 (or Vulkan 1.0) and above. So, basically anything made in the last 10 years or so.
- SDL-compatible game controller (e.g. XB360/XBOne)
@ -79,6 +79,19 @@ To download:
- Run `chmod a+x` on the downloaded AppImage -- following this step, the AppImage can be run like a typical executable.
- Optionally use a program such as [appimaged](https://github.com/AppImage/appimaged) or [AppImageLauncher](https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher) for desktop integration. [AppImageUpdate](https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageUpdate) can be used alongside appimaged to easily update your DuckStation AppImage.
### Android
A prebuilt APK is now available for Android. However, please keep in mind that the Android version is not yet feature complete, it is more of a preview of things to come. You will need a device running a 64-bit AArch64 userland (anything made in the last few years).

The main limitations are:
- No controller support, only on-screen controls.
- User directory is currently hardcoded to /sdcard/duckstation. So BIOS files go in /sdcard/duckstation/bios.
- Lack of options in menu when emulator is running.
- Performance is currently lower than the desktop x86_64 counterpart.
### Title Information
PlayStation game discs do not contain title information. For game titles, we use the redump.org database cross-referenced with the game's executable code.
