What are you talking about? pSX will run in Windows 98 upwards or most Linux distributions (have you tried using ePSXe on Linux? It's possible, but difficult - and it still doesn't perform as well as pSX, which is as easy to run on Linux as it is on Windows) on pretty much any machine that has a working 3D card and a working soundcard. It requires a version of DirectX 9.0c that's more than about a year after the original release in Windows, and to have OpenGL, ALSA, GTK, GTKGLEXT and libxml2 installed in Linux - all but GTKGLEXT will be included in most contemporary distributions, and GTKGLEXT is not hard to get - it's in the repositories for most Debian-based distributions.
ePSXe probably will run on Windows 95, while pSX won't, since DirectX 9.0 can't be installed on that OS.

Hardware configurations, meaning not all CDRom or DVD rom drives are supported, pSX uses RAW reading for subchannel and audio info, and not all drives provide proper RAW support, infact the only drives which are guaranteed to have proper RAW support are.
- Hitachi LG GDR-8161b (IDE)
- Hitachi LG GDR-8162b (IDE)
- Hitachi LG GDR-8163b (IDE)
- Hitachi LG GDR-8164b (IDE)
- Hitachi LG GDR-H10NBLK (SATA)
Any CDRom not in this list, is a gamble as to whether it will work or not, While most others support Subchannel reads via the ATAPI SPEC.
I'm yet to find a DVD/CDRom drive that can't read subchannel data using ATAPI_SPEC2, and i have alot of DVD/CDRom's come through this place, While petes plugins might not always work as they require a fair bit of updating, CDRSapu and CDRXeven both work fine on the SPEC2 method, and the internal espxe cdr plugin works on all disks, as long as its undamaged.
The only reason why most don't use the internal plugin is because it doesn't provide read caching, which is likely to be changed in the future.
