Play PS1 games on iPhone & iPad with a controller-first console-like experience on Sakura PSX!
Sakura is a PlayStation One emulator frontend built on top of a Beetle PSX core iPhone and iPad. Add your own system BIOS and disc backups & customize your library then play with on-screen controls or a physical gamepad/controller for a console-like experience!
• Add your own BIOS (.bin) file(s) and choose a default in Settings.
• Add games under the app’s Documents folder in Files, or use in-app import. Sakura scans folders recursively, including multi-disc setups and M3U playlists.
• Supported formats CUE/BIN, CHD, PBP, M3U, ISO/IMG, MDS/MDF, NRG, CDI, ECM, CSO/ZSO
CONTROLS
• Full touch overlay with layout editor: move, scale, and theme controls to fit your hands.
• Digital and DualShock-style modes, with optional per-game auto-switching.
• MFi and Bluetooth gamepads with remappable buttons; haptics and rumble where supported.
GRAPHICS & PERFORMANCE
• Internal resolution scaling, fit vs fill framing, and multiple texture filtering paths from crisp pixel modes through sharpened upscalers.
• FXAA, CAS, optional PGXP-style geometry options, widescreen-related tweaks, color and dither controls, and frame blending where you want a softer or more authentic look.
• Fast Boot and host-side run speed for slow-mo or fast-forward-style pacing alongside core tuning for CPU, GPU, and disc access.
QUALITY OF LIFE
• In-game menu for graphics, performance HUD, save slots (when enabled in Settings), and stopping a session.
• Optional performance overlay, notification cards, and extensive UI customization: accents, backgrounds, typography, accessibility options, and optional background music including your own tracks.
