whats better VGS or epsxe?

Battousai1 · February 13th, 2002

I have a playable retail version of VGS and found out that VGS really is compatible with large number of games and it runs them at a real playstation speed unlike epsxe, but the graphics is kinda ugly? BTW whats better for me to use? I find epsxe better in terms of ONLY graphics if only there is a genius programmer to do a new emulation project and based the new one on VGS's emulation core and combined with the graphics of epsxe

I can get epsxe to run all my game at perfect psx speed and nearly perfect sound.. Epsxe all the way..

1. It's free
2. Graphics are awesome
3. Tweakable
4. Savestates
5. it's free
6. Still being developed.. (CVG is dead)
7. Rumble support

Epsxe is just so much better than VGS. Plugin's rock.

**Prafull** · February 13th, 2002

epsxe is far better and have been discussed innumerable times.

**Demigod** · February 13th, 2002

VGS = PSX emulator
ePSXe = PSX enhancer

As an emulator VGS rocks but epsxe just looks so damn good. In many people's opinions it's better than the PS itself! Me, I like both emulators. I like VGS for the accuracy of the emulation, and I like epsxe for its awesome graphics.

**Shiori** · February 13th, 2002

Only use VGS for the hard-to-emulate-perfectly games like Tron Bonne, and also if you have a crappy computer like I did just a few months ago.

Vgs's emulation core+graphics of ePSXe? What will SONY thinks?

cshakenbake · February 26th, 2002

for only one reason i like VGS better- mac compatibility. if epsxe worked on macs, it wold be much better for us all.

Ultragunner · February 26th, 2002

well said, Demigod79.

DB7 · February 26th, 2002

I use VGS for one simple fact, it great for dummies like me.
ePSXe just takes far to long to configure, for example.
With Final Fantasy 9, if I get the game to play a the correct speed the battle are slower than a butchers dog. If the battles run correctly the game runs far to fast. I just don't have the patience to configure ePSXe.
So if you would like to spend more time configuring than playing, use ePSXe. If you would like to play games straight away, the way they were meant to be played.

Also in a way VGS is still being developed, in the form of illegal hacks.

Son^Gohan · March 1st, 2002

well...why don't use both....want some good graphic use epsxe...want more compatibility....use vgs.There are some game which cannot be played with epsxe and vice versa....so there's something useful with both of it...

ajrulz · March 24th, 2002

VGS rules becouse of its compatability,on the other hand EPSXE enhances ur graphics.but i think VGS is better.

March 24th, 2002

there are more and more games epsxe runs that vgs doesnt so I doubt it still has a higher compatibility.

ustasatin · March 24th, 2002

Vgs is much better. Graphic is ugly, but speed and sound are full - unlike the sound on ePSXe

March 24th, 2002

depends on the configuration....I have great sound in almost every game here.

vgs has sound bugs in MGS, and Street Fighter games, just to name a few. Not to mention the fact that most epsxe sound plugins just give a better quality overall.

**fivefeet8** · March 25th, 2002

Yeah.. with the proper configuration and pluggins, the emulation in epsxe(graphics and sound) is damn near perfect and then some..

Xelcor · March 25th, 2002

Bleh, both are good, but I like VGS better because it runs the actual cds at the correct speed with not frameskips or anything. No matter what config I use with EPSXE for cdrom, I can never get it good, not even at a decent speed, forcing me to waste hd space by putting my games on it as isos just to play them at the right speed. It would be neat if they could use the cdrom part of vgs with epsxe, that would be good..

**Kane** · March 25th, 2002

The system requirements for ePSXe are higher, but if you have a half-decent machine, you can run pretty much all games at full speed, no frameskip with better graphics and sound. An Athlon650 with a Ge2MX will run FF9 without skipping frames in 1024x768

SkyeHack · March 25th, 2002

ePSXe no doubt man. Have you been living under a rock?!?!?

if it will be for spedd and graphics Bleem is the way to go ^^
