The emulator will attempt to run any PSX EXE file found at sdmc:/3ds/CTRX/boot.exe but bear in mind, that chances are it won't run at this point in time. CTRX is a new and free emulator. It has been written from the ground up. It is not a port. It is also free. It has no price and does not bind the user's soul to a document written in legalese. And thirdly, if you do get an analog controller working, don't forget that it will only work in analog mode with a game that supports analog controllers. If the game doesn't support analog controllers, you have to use the 'Normal' setting. Just like every other Playstation emulator, and the Playstation itself.
PCSX is a free and open-sourcevideo game console emulator which allows software designed to be used with the Sony PlayStation to run on personal computers. Over the years, development changed hands several times with PCSX-Reloaded (PCSXR) now being the main version.

- 3Ports and commercial usage
History[edit]
The emulator was first released for the PC on August 31, 2000. Official development ceased on September 17, 2003,[5] and development shifted to the new PlayStation 2 emulator, PCSX2.
PCSX-df was created in 2006 and added new features, a new GTK-based interface, AMD64 support, and corrected some bugs, but was developed mainly with only Linux compatibility in mind. Version 1.10 was released on March 29, 2009.
PCSX-Reloaded is a new project created in mid-2009, which is based on the work of the PCSX-df branch, completely independent, and works on bug fixes while maintaining Windows and OS X compatibility alongside Linux. PCSX-df and PCSX-Reloaded coexisted for a while, with PCSX-df merging changes of PCSX-Reloaded back into df.
Features[edit]
PCSX supports network play and external plugins as used by ePSXe. As with many modern emulators PCSX-Reloaded supports savestates and also has Save Rewind feature (currently only OSX and Linux version), Support for ECM files (currently only OS X and Linux version), Support for Libarchive (currently only OSX and Linux version), widescreen hack and makes use of plug-ins to emulate GPU, SPU, and CD-ROM drive functions, a model first established in PSEmu Pro, it uses Peops OpenGL plugin for graphics on default but can also use Pete's OpenGL2, gpuBladeSoft, PCSX2 graphics plugin GSDX, AmiDog GPU plugin,[6] Asmodeans PSXFX shader pack, input plugins such as Lilypad and Pokopom Pad Plugin. It also has multi-track cue support and is the only PS1 emulator with compatibility with anti-jitter options in graphics plugins, such as GTE accuracy in the default Peops OpenGL plugin, or Improved coordinate accuracy in Edgbla's gpuBladeSoft and it also supports PeteOpenGL2Tweak plugin.[7] Additionally, PCSX seeks to simulate the functionality of the PlayStationBIOS and consequently does not require a BIOS file dump to operate, making it easier to emulate legally, however Bios emulation is still incomplete so its better to use dumped BIOS to avoid various bugs and reduced compatibility.
Ports and commercial usage[edit]
Linux, macOS/OS X, and Microsoft Windows on x86-based computers are the main development focus of PCSX-Reloaded but various PCSX iterations have been ported to other platforms as well, including Dreamcast,[8]GameCube,[9]PlayStation 3,[10]Wii,[11]Xbox,[12] and various ARM-based platforms (PCSX-Rearmed fork)[13] such as BlackBerry Playbook and Nintendo 3DS.[14][15][16]

Unlike many other DLL file errors which can have complicated causes and fixes, d3dx9_26.dll issues are caused in one way or another by a single issue - a problem of some sort with Microsoft DirectX.
The d3dx9_26.dll file is one of a number of files contained within DirectX. Since DirectX is utilized by most Windows based games and advanced graphics programs, d3dx9_26.dll errors usually show up only when using these programs.
There are quite a few different ways that d3dx9_26.dll errors may show up on your computer. Some of the more common d3dx9_26.dll error messages are listed below.
D3dx9_26.dll errors typically appear when a software program, usually a game or graphics program, is started. In non-game applications, a d3dx9_26.dll error might appear before certain advanced graphics features of the program are used.
However, considering that d3dx9_26.dll error messages could apply to any program that utilizes Microsoft DirectX, they're commonly seen in video games.
Some common games and other programs that have been known to generate d3dx9_26.dll errors include Civilization IV, Autodesk 3ds Max, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, pSX Emulator (a Sony Playstation emulator), and more.
Any of Microsoft's operating systems since Windows 98 may be affected by d3dx9_26.dll and other DirectX issues. This includes Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.
How to Fix D3dx9_26.dll Errors
Do not, under any circumstances, download the d3dx9_26.dll DLL file individually from any 'DLL download site'. There are a number of different reasons that downloading DLLs from these sites is a bad idea. If you've already downloaded d3dx9_26.dll from one of those DLL download sites, remove it from whatever folder you copied it to and then continue with the following steps.
Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the d3dx9_26.dll error.
- The d3dx9_26.dll error might be a fluke or one-time issue, and a simple restart could clear it up completely. It's unlikely this will fix the problem, but restarting is always a good first troubleshooting step.
- Install the latest version of Microsoft DirectX. Chances are, upgrading to the latest version of DirectX will fix the d3dx9_26.dll not found error.Microsoft often releases updates to DirectX without updating the version number or letter so be sure to install the latest release even if your version is technically the same.The same DirectX installation program works with all versions of Windows including Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, and more. It will replace any missing DirectX 11, DirectX 10, or DirectX 9 file.
- If the latest DirectX version from Microsoft doesn't fix the d3dx9_26.dll error you're receiving, look for a DirectX installation program on your game or application CD or DVD. Usually, if a game or another program utilizes DirectX, the software developers will include a copy of it on the installation disc.Sometimes, though not very often, the DirectX version included on the disc works better with the software program than the latest version available online.
- Uninstall the game or software program and then reinstall it again. Something may have happened to the files in the program that work with d3dx9_26.dll and a reinstall could do the trick.
- Restore the d3dx9_26.dll file from the latest DirectX package. If the above steps haven't worked to correct your d3dx9_26.dll error, try extracting the d3dx9_26.dll file individually from the DirectX package.
- Update the drivers for your video card. While it's not the most common solution, in some situations updating the drivers for the video card in your computer could correct this DirectX issue.
