I didn't say SSSPSX was easy to get running; but apparently when you can, performance is better than ePSXe, GM!

And looks like batard.psxfanatics.com is gone - last time I checked out, it was still offering the same version (0.19) it has for a few years. I used to use it rather than ePSXe to run my PAL version of Wild Arms, which used to freeze randomly in ePSXe - this was over several years, different machines, different versions of ePSXe, many plugin variations... But although PSXeven ran Wild Arms Ok, it was very, very glitchy. I kept dropping through 'holes' in the game and winding up in places I shouldn't be! I was so glad when pSX Author got Wild Arms running in pSX and I could play the game properly at last!

I think SSSPSX is updated occasionally, but PSXeven hasn't been updated since August 2005, and ePSXe since two years before that. That says dead to me, particularly for ePSXe. I don't think PSXeven will be updated again, and ePSXe? On the ePSXe site it says, for 5th August 2003, "ePSXe 1.6.0 has been released. Many things have been fixed and some more features should be included in another fix version that will be released shortly." 4 1/2 years on, that "fix version" has yet to be released. I'm afraid that says dead to me.
