Rascal, known as Bubblegun Kid in Japan, is a platform game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Psygnosis and was released for the PlayStation in Europe on March 1998, in North America on March 31, 1998 and in Japan on March 18, 1999. The main character and several enemies were designed by the Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
There are two components for playing a psx Rascal game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psx OS and software.
The second component is the Rascal game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Retroarch – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading Retroarch, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the RetroArch-1.7.5-x86-setup.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Rascal. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to Retroarch and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
