A PS1 shelf you can open from any browser
Upload the PlayStation file you own, keep it in your Rebit library, and come back later without rebuilding a local emulator setup.

CHD, PBP, CUE, BIN
Disc-era play, browser rhythm
Built around the parts of PS1 play that usually get messy.
Save before the hard part
Long RPGs, survival horror, and adventure games feel less fragile when in-game saves and manual states sit beside the game.
Good for quick breaks, too
Racers, fighters, puzzle games, score chasers, and boss practice all fit a 15-minute session better than people expect.
First launch checklist
Treat the first ten minutes like a memory-card test.
PS1 files are bigger, save points matter more, and multi-disc sets reward clean organization before a long campaign starts.
Pick a clean format first
PS1 games can be single-file or multi-file. CHD and PBP are tidy when available; cue/bin and m3u work best when related files stay together.
- .chd
- .pbp
- .cue + .bin
- .m3u for disc sets
- .img
- .iso
- .ccd
- .mdf
Do a ten-minute shakeout
Before settling into a campaign, launch the game, reach gameplay, check controls, make an in-game save, reload it, and create one manual state.
- Confirm system detection
- Reach gameplay
- Check controls
- Save in-game
- Reload once
- Create a manual state
Match the game to the time you have
The PS1 library covers both quick arcade habits and long story games. Pick racers or fighters for short breaks, and save-point-to-save-point RPG chunks for longer nights.
- One race
- Three fighting rounds
- One puzzle run
- One boss practice state
- One dungeon
- One RPG save-point stretch
Keep big uploads boring
Large files and multi-disc games are easier when your folders are boring: clear names, related files together, and one tested upload before a big import.
- Use stable Wi-Fi
- Keep disc files together
- Avoid messy folders
- Test one game first
- Keep backup states
- Name folders clearly

Feature
PCSX-ReARMed under the hood
Rebit runs PlayStation through PCSX-ReARMed, the same libretro core many RetroArch users already know.
Feature
In-game saves plus save states
Use memory-card style saves for the campaign, then drop a manual state before a boss, a long cutscene, or a risky settings change.
Feature
Disc-era files in one library
PS1 games are larger and messier than cartridge ROMs. Rebit supports common formats and keeps upload, launch, saves, and return trips in one place.
Feature
Your files stay yours
Rebit does not host copyrighted PlayStation downloads. Bring your own legally owned files and play from your account.
Start routine
A three-step way to avoid losing your first session.
Step 1
Upload the PS1 file you own
Start with one clean file or one organized file set. Rebit supports common PlayStation extensions including cue, bin, chd, pbp, img, iso, m3u, and ccd.
Step 2
Open it and check the basics
Reach real gameplay, test the controls, and make sure the first save or checkpoint behaves the way you expect.
Step 3
Make saving part of play
Use in-game saves for long-term progress and manual states for practice, recovery, and stopping between normal save points.
FAQ
Plain answers before you upload a disc image.
Can I play PS1 games online in my browser? +
Yes. Rebit supports PlayStation through a browser-based RetroArch flow using PCSX-ReARMed, with your games and saves tied to your account.
Does Rebit provide PS1 ROMs or disc images? +
No. Rebit does not provide copyrighted PlayStation game downloads. Use legally owned files that you created from games you own.
Which PS1 file formats should I try? +
CHD and PBP are tidy choices when you have them. Cue/bin, m3u, img, iso, ccd, mdf, toc, and cbn can also work; just keep multi-file games organized together.
Are PS1 games good for short browser sessions? +
Many are. Racing, fighting, puzzle, score-attack, and stage-based games fit quick sessions. RPGs and story-heavy games are better when you plan around save points.
How should I protect progress in long PS1 games? +
Use normal in-game saves as the main path, then create manual states before bosses, long cutscenes, difficult rooms, and settings experiments.
Do I need to install anything to play PS1 games? +
No desktop emulator setup is required for the browser flow. Create an account, upload a legally owned compatible PlayStation file, and launch it from your Rebit library.
Can I use a controller for PS1 browser play? +
Yes. A keyboard works for quick testing, but a controller usually feels better for longer sessions, racers, fighters, and analog-style layouts.
Can I move PS1 saves between devices? +
Yes, that is the point of keeping play tied to your account. Test an in-game save first, then use manual states and exports as extra safety before switching devices.
Do PS1 games need a BIOS file? +
Some PlayStation games and emulator setups work better with a compatible BIOS. Rebit keeps the page focused on legally owned game files; use only BIOS files you are legally allowed to use.
Are multi-disc PS1 games supported? +
Multi-disc games need cleaner organization than single-file games. Keep related disc files together, prefer tidy cue/bin, chd, pbp, or m3u-style organization, and test before a long campaign.
Is there a PS1 file size limit? +
PlayStation files are much larger than cartridge ROMs, so upload time and browser memory matter. Start with one clean file and confirm it launches before importing a large batch.
