Hi, Im just getting into this PSX emulation, and Iv spent the last few days fiddlin around with plugins, reading readme files, and testing testing testing, trying to play my "Panzer Front" game on my PC,

http://www.geocities.com/panzerfrontuk/

its an amazing game by the way, most realistic war game Iv ever played, and Iv played alot of them, its a shame its not well known, I think its because it wasnt released untill 2001 (that may be in Japan and even later in the west)
and its kind of a niche game that would be very difficult to peaple not interested in WWII tactics

the game sort of works, though I get crashes on some battles, Iv not been able to make an ISO out of it because my disk is really scratched up and wont read some sectors.

Its not on your list, now the question I would like to ask is, what is your definition of 100% perfect?

as all games Iv used with PSX emulator have a bad resolution, even with the internal resolutions both at very high with my Geforce FX 5500, and desktop resolutions tested and tested and tested at diffrent resolutions, one thing remains constant, the game seems to big, it looks zoomed in a bit to much on all games, and pixilated because of this
command and conquer Red alert Retaliation for example, the vehicles are like twice the size that they are on my TV screen, and it seems like I see less of the battlefeild, as I tried to describe it before, it seems "zoomed in"

is this normal? I use all of the supposedly best plugins, 2.6 petes opengl, epsxe 1.6, and the PE.Ops spu or whatever its called 1.9, though that comes to another question, I downloaded that plugin, and in the zip file was a folder called " src " and it has lots of small files in it, what is it for? where am I supposed to put it? it isnt mentioned in the readme

so are all ePSXe games supposed to have this zoomed in resolution feel? or am I doing something wrong.

I hope youll try the game and add it to the list, its definitly worth the play, Iv probably gotten more hours out of it than any other single player game ever, its a sort of hidden Gem of a game, not well known, but if you like realistic war games, you can easily fall in love with it.

heres some good reviews if you dont wanna take my word for it

But remember, those pixilated screen shots you see on web sites rarely do a game justice, and some of the reviews were written based on the Japanese version, and some of the points that they note as unfavorable, they fail to realise are easily turned off in the options
