What is the best Playstation Emulator out at the moment

Johnmiceter · November 7th, 2001

In your own Opinion, what do you 's think is the best PSX Emulator available at the moment, the one that is the most compatible for all the PSX games. In my opinion, the best one i have got is, ePSXe, and Virtual Game Station, normally if ePSXe won't play a PSX game, i try Virtual Game station, but i always try ePSXe first, since the graphics are so nice on it

.
Also, if a game starts up on ePSXe and then freezes, I'm refering to a Playstation game called The Emperor's New Groove, for my little brother, looks so nice on this Emulator, and then will just freeze. Is there a way to fix freezing problems with cheats or anything like this, just asking cause i'm still kind of new to all this, thanks.

yap, just go to that thread and see it by yourself
BTW ePSXe Rocks

November 7th, 2001

1 epsxe
2 vgs
3 bleem

but bleem's only third because it runs the gran turismo games very nicely

Bahamut_Zero · November 7th, 2001

Yeah ePSXe is the best!

well, I just go for:[list=1][*]epsxe[*]vgs[*]psemu pro (well, epsxe's father, still rocks!)[/list=1]

They're worth a lot! But for the games I have I don't use ém at the moment, that's all.

Let make this simple.......
By mainly...........
For 2D games use VGS.
For 2D/3D or 3D games use ePSXe.

Fpse=emulator is good(best for PE-2)but bad news is its dead.

pcsx=This one needs a lot of work

Adripsx=I think the new version is going to be competing with the top emus out there.

**Demigod** · November 7th, 2001

I think VGS is the best playstation emulator. It's the most compatible and it's most faithful to the machine it's emulating. I would consider Epsxe the best playstation enhancer

, since it uses 3D acceleration to enhance the visual image of PSX games. Software plug-ins make it look nearly equal to VGS but I find VGS to be a lot more accurate. With VGS I can get a true feeling for what the game is supposed to be, with epsxe I can get a feel for what the game could be.

gerbilcannon · November 7th, 2001

I only mentioned those because I found it odd that bleem and psemu pro were being listed which I honestly don't think should make the list anymore. Of course that is my highly subjective opinion.

JuniorCRB · November 7th, 2001

1)epsxe
2)bleem (cause of graphics but espesially speed)
3)vgs
4)adripsx
5)fpsxe

Badaro · November 7th, 2001

My list:

1) ePSXe
2) FPSE
3) AdriPSX

VGS and Bleem! don't count for me because they don't work in Win2K.

Sorrento · November 8th, 2001

uhmmm for a good pc ePSXe, for a modest system VGS i guess :P

Rubicant · November 8th, 2001

1. Epsxe
2. Fpse

The rest isn´t running on my system...

:-)

Hell it`s **** that Fpse was discontinued...

Johnmiceter · November 8th, 2001

Ok, thanks for everyone's replies, by the way i didn't see that other thread about Playstation Emulators, i only look on the front page, and i didn't see it there sorry.

Also, is there a way to make some games play on ePSXe by using cheats, or anything like this ? Like The Emperor's New Groove, it starts up , but then just freezes.

FireGL · November 8th, 2001

solution is press F4 or enable accurate CD-rom/ or Disable Realtime status (?)

before that start w/ petes soft gpu for configuring and for the sound use null so you can diagnos what causing the problem then enhance the game step by step

Lobo · November 8th, 2001

ePSXe by far. It's the only one to run most of the games I try near perfect while looking better.

November 9th, 2001

ePSXe is definately top of the line and state of the art. If you want a virtual PSX, 2d pixelated graphics and all, but great sound, then VGS is the one to use. Unfortunately VGS is dead, but ePSXe is still going strong. A new release may be coming before to long.
As for cheats, there is a plugin called PEC that lets you use Game Shark codes w/VGS and ePSXe. The author is JNS and PEC can be found at www.emucheater.com But whether or not using PEC and GS codes will solve your freezing problem, that I don't know.
There are some games (only a few, to be sure) that ePSXe still won't run. The Emperor's New Groove just may be one of these games.
sincerely,
