The PlayStation Sound Format (PSF1) is a specialized audio subformat originally developed by Neill Corlett to store music sequences extracted from Sony PlayStation games. It is primarily utilized by emulation software and media players to reproduce authentic game audio using the original instrument samples and sequencing data. This legacy format encapsulates driver code and sequence data within a compressed container, though it remains widely regarded as safe for modern playback environments.
