PCSX-ReARMed is another PCSX fork, based on PCSX-Reloaded. It has no relation to PSX4ALL, PSX4Pandora or PCSX4ALL (other than being PCSX derived) and has the source available (under GPL2). The main feature it has is Ari64’s dynarec, modified to suit PCSX. There is a bit of NEON for color space conversion too. The compatibility should be close to the PC version.

Other notes:

BIOS files are optional, but are needed for compatibility with some games. These uncompressed files should be copied to /pandora/appdata/pcsx_rearmed/bios/ , and selected after launching the emulator itself (Optopns -> BIOS/Plugins).

Alphablocks by IceDaddy is an educational program for pre-schoolers to get learning letter sounds.

Release notes:

This is now version 2. It is exactly the same functionally as before but it has been upgraded to use viDSnips 2; so the sound is vastly improved, the video playback is more robust and the game size is much smaller (about half what it was before).
