I don't know, the PSX is old and well understood enough now that in my head it's in the bundle of "just do Retroarch" systems along with all the 8 and 16 bit stuff.

I don't even remember what core I usually run for it. They're all at least serviceable to great.

It's good to hear, but it's not only about emulator core itself, it's also about UI/UX of the shell. Duckstation's interface and options are quite intuitive and easy to use. I remember Retroarch being a bit confusing/unfriendly last time I tried it, but it was so long ago, that it might not be the case anymore.

Similar for me. Something wasn't working and it took me a while to figure out that some issue was preventing the settings from saving/loading properly.

DuckStation is the main PSX libretro core.

It's one of them, and it's fine, but it's not what I've been using. I've been bouncing between PCSX and Beetle and they're both just fine. I mean, at this point PSX games run on anything.
