Kingstar, you are correct I am liking Xeven's emu very much. But I will still remain "loyal" to ePSXe as well. There's room on my PC for both of them.
Omegainf, I know the shots are dark. Sorry about that, but that is how the game is (dark) and there isn't to much to be done about it.
Maybe I can look into adjusting my monitor screen's brightness and try them again.
sincerely,
