legend of mana: epsxe versus other psx emus

[jegHegy]

guess what i found out! ^_^

if you play legend of mana in:

a) RealLife™ Sony Playstation:
at the beginning of the game, you put the mailbox artifact on the map. there's a flash, and the mailbox disappears (it swirls down, actually), bubbles start to flow upwards, etcetera, then the house and the tree pop out the ground. (aww, cute ^_^)

b) ePSXe:
you put the mailbox on the map. there's a flash _PLUS_ some weird colored sphere-shaped garbage polygons, which shouldn't be there. then the mailbox disappears literally, and there's no effect anymore, except some flashes. your house appears out of nowhere. how bleak.
as we know, there's no solution to this at this time, it's a main emu bug.

c) bleem! 1.5b:
you put down the mailbox, and everything goes as it should! hmm, bleem! is (was) a commercial emulator.

d) FPSE:
the artifact effects are good! just as the real PSX would do it. (MDEC reds and blues are switched, ouch ^_^!)

e) other emulators:
i've tried PCSX and VGS too, but VGS also messes stuff up the way epsxe does, and i couldn't get PCSX to even run it AdriPSX ILE 1.0.0 also produces the same glitches.

conclusion:
freeware emus r00l ^_^
seriously, can we do something about those problems in epsxe?
i thought the epsxe team might ask for help from the fpse developers so they can solve them. is that possible? i mean i programmed some simple stuff myself, and it's not easy to kill a bug, and it may take weeks to figure out which part of the epsxe code does stuff the wrong way.
i hope i could help ^_^

oh yeah, can i ask the people here who know the epsxe authors personally to tell them this idea? maybe killing this bug fixes several other games. thanks in advance.

i'm curious about the replies! *_*

EDIT: added AdriPSX to other emus

The authors scan the boards often from what I have seen, and there have been numerous posts about this and other legend of mana bugs, so I am sure that the authors know about it. It will be fixed when ... it is fixed.
