PSX Emulater

Lacan · March 10th, 2002

I've been looking for a PSX Emulater to work on my crappy pc

200mhz
96mb ram
32mb Geforce 2 mx200/400
32x sony cd-rom
Soundblaster Live

I've tried VGS but i dont have a mmx processor and epsxe didn't work for me, and i don't want to use bleem because i've heard that it costs about $30 or something like that.

Are there any others I can use with my system?

Fou-lu · March 10th, 2002

You can try Psinex, Adripsx (wait for a new release soon), FPSE and PCSX.

**Zephon** · March 10th, 2002

Man, you really need to upgrade your cpu. It's the only thing that's keeping you from playing psx games.

**Prafull** · March 10th, 2002

adripsx and epsxe are fastest so they are your best bet.
But you desparately needs an upgrade.

NicoBozo · March 10th, 2002

I know I'm new in here and all, but can I just barge in...Thanx

As mentioned above, get an upgrade...If you're short for cash consider getting an ASUS motherboard, you can get one (albeit not the nwest) for around a 100$. Put in a Duron cpu (u can easily get 1GhZ for less than 45$) and get some more ram. Ram is your friend

Unless you're picky, you don't have to get new gfx & sound cards yet...Just an opinion (that's likely to get me flamed

)

**liquid** · March 10th, 2002

something extra to add here if your going to upgrade...

you will need to purchase a new case and power supply too, 1996-class computers like yours used AT/Baby AT form factor casings and power supplies. All Pentium II computers and higher use ATX form factor, which is incompatible with the older format.
(btw there is now ATX 2.0 for pentium 4...something that's good to know if you decide to go with intel)

Lacan · March 10th, 2002

hahahahahah....upgrade....nah...i dont need one...I have another comp but i dont want a psx emulater on it yet.

Other System
AMD Athalon XP 1900+
512mb DDR PC2700 Ram
60GB IBM
Geforce 3 TI200
Soundblaster Live 5.1 Dolby Digital
17" FD Trinitron Moniter

Dogbone · March 10th, 2002

why not?

**Ryos** · March 10th, 2002

Since this isn't ePSXe specific (and if you have a computer like the second one, why in the world are you playing on the old junker?), I'll move this to misc psx emu discussion.

Lacan · March 10th, 2002

why? good question....im sposed to review software and find out what the minimum requirements are for a site I work for.Thats why.

So far I've tried everything except for the few that u guys have siuggested and none have worked, hell an N64 emulater worked well (60fps on Doom64) I don't see why none of the PSX emulaters work...hmmmmm....

**Demigod** · March 10th, 2002

I think Bleem is your best bet, it's probably the only psx emulator that can run decently on your system. VGS is also very fast but, like you said, it requires an MMX processor.

BTW, what CPU do you have? I would think a 200 Mhz CPU would at least have MMX instructions.

**Shiori** · March 10th, 2002

I think the Pentium Pros don't have MMX instructions.

And Lacan's quite gutsy there in putting an MX 200 in such a computer.

**Kane** · March 10th, 2002

Pro's don't. I remember having a quad Pentium Pro 200 machine back when I had a K6-2 350. We had problems running Delta Force *Shudders* on it as it required MMX.

Then for what is the other computer (the better one), to use word processors and gather dust? Gimme a break.

**Shiori** · March 11th, 2002

It's probably for downloading pr0n and mp3s.

FireGL · March 11th, 2002

my aunt's old comp is pentium 166 w/ mmx

**Dark Watcher** · March 11th, 2002

To be honest..your best bet will be the next release of AdriPSX..This sucker can run on an old 486 with 16megs of ram...and since you have a GeForce installed you should get minimal resource usage when using OpenGL...plus you have plenty of ram...The author kind of deviced the emulator with the low end PC user in mind...

AdriPSX minimum requirements

Required:
* Windows 95/98/ME, NT (SP4), XP or 2000.
* DirectX Sound Compatible Hardware.
* PC 80486, Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III, Celeron, or
any compatible processor. (300 MHz at least are highly
recommended).
* 16 MB of RAM at least.(32 MB are recommended).
* 10 MB of hard drive space.
* 16-bit video card (3D-Card is highly recommended).
* 8x or faster CD-ROM or desktop DVD-ROM drive.

PSinex
-----------

* Pentium 2 @ 350 MHz
* 8MB Graphics Card (D3D Capable)
* 4x CD-ROM Drive
* Sound Blaster Compatible
* Microsoft© DirectX 6.1

EPSXE Minimum system requirements:
P200MMX or compatible
32 MB of RAM
Fast graphic card (like the voodoo 2)
Cdrom x16
Win9x
DirectX 7a

**liquid** · March 11th, 2002

People still use 486's? :eek:
I think FPSE can run on Non-MMX computers too...but I doubt you can play anything

Gamer-X · March 17th, 2002

I'm using :

PII 333 Mhz
RAM 64 Mb
CDROM 52x speed
Graphic Card I740 8Mb (sucks on OpenGL)

The emus I'm using:
- VGS 1.41 (for speed)
- ePSXe 1.5.1 (for graphic and [maybe] speed)

Trying:
-Psinex (i can't run it right now coz I have a virus on my PC)
-AdriPSX (I hope this emulator will be good as ePSXe)

Andronicus · March 17th, 2002

Gamer-X, add another 192 MB RAM and you will see a perfomance boost
