Just to chime in my two cents...

I've tried a few, mostly on Linux. epsxe and pcsx were nice, but often resource hungry. The plugin-based emulators allow for a lot of fun tweaking and special graphics handling that, I'm sure, look real nice on the latest PC's.

But pSX wins when you're looking for an emulator for older PC's. pSX has been reported to work well, even on Pentium 3's. The 1.10 version for Windows, and one of the early Linux WIP's (work-in-progress) work very nicely on my Athlon Thunderbird 1200 PC.

So -- if you have an older PC, or if you're willing to sacrifice a little eye candy for a very efficient emulator -- go with pSX. Just steer clear of version 1.11 if you have an older Athlon PC.
