DuckStation is an simulator/emulator of the Sony PlayStation(TM) console, focusing on playability, speed, and long-term maintainability. The goal is to be as accurate as possible while maintaining performance suitable for low-end devices.

This can be a good work except for this part where it says it's good for low-end stuff, it's a LIE. This can be seen on github itself.

"Hardware (D3D11, OpenGL, Vulkan) and software rendering"

"For the hardware renderers, a GPU capable of OpenGL 3.1/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."

"Windows 10 is the only version of Windows supported by the developer. Windows 7/8 may work, but is not supported. I am aware some users are still using Windows 7, but it is no longer supported by Microsoft and too much effort to get running on modern hardware. Game bugs are unlikely to be affected by the operating system, however performance issues should be verified on Windows 10 before reporting."

This is NOT low-end support, epsxe has low-end support.

Well, it could be true, but it's just a LIE. ePSXe requires Windows Vista and Pentium III. Lets switch back to bleem! running with Windows 98 and first Pentium, it has real low-end support.

BTW; DuckStation works fine with Win7, just grab KB4019990 and Visual C++ Redist (for MS VS 2015-2019).
