PCSX-df is a forked version of the dead PCSX emulator, with a nicer interface and several improvements to stability and functionality. PCSX-df uses the PSEMU plugin interface to provide most functionality; without them, you will not be able to use it to play games. PCSX-df has a very capable Internal HLE BIOS that can run many games without problems. It is recommended that you use it. However, if you own a real Playstation, you may be able to use your own BIOS image. PCSX-df will find it in ~/.pcsx/bios/ if you place it there.
