The record

Product: Avocado describes itself as a modern PlayStation 1 emulator.
Game compatibility: The project says it is in early development and that many games may not boot or may crash shortly after booting.
Supported game files: The README says users can load .cue, .bin, .img, .chd, .ecm, .exe, .psexe, .psf, and .minipsf files by drag and drop.
Save features: The README lists save states, quick save, quick load, and rewind by one second.
Controllers: The README lists digital controller, DualShock, and mouse support, with two controllers supported and no multitap.
Audio and graphics: The README lists XA-ADPCM and Red Book audio support and hardware rendering through OpenGL.
Protected games: The README says Anti-Modchip and LibCrypt protected games are supported, and PAL LibCrypt games require additional .SBI or .LSD subchannel information.
System requirements: The README specifies Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.13 or later, or Linux Ubuntu 16.04 or later, plus an OpenGL 3.1 GPU and an SSE3-compatible x86 or x64 processor.
BIOS requirement: Avocado requires a BIOS from a real console, placed in the data/bios directory, and prompts for BIOS selection on first run.
Performance limit: The README says the emulator is single-threaded and currently hard-syncs audio to NTSC 60 Hz, which can make PAL game audio stutter.
Build platforms: The project README links builds for Linux, macOS, Android, and Windows 32-bit and 64-bit.
Support: The maintainer directs users to the GitHub issue tracker, Twitter, and a Discord server for questions and bug reports.
License: The repository identifies its license as GPL-2.0.
