Cons and pros betweens ePSXe and pSX

[CrAcKo]

I've been using ePSXe since version 1.5.x, I thought it was the best emulator, with Bleem/VGS on second place.

On my first thought, pSX was just a plain emulator, with only very basic options... Which I thought was not good, so I tried it and... it's much better than I thought. The Sony Computer Entertainment logo makes it look like a real PSX, I realize I've actually seen it alot...

I like the pad configuration window, ePSXe's is pretty dull and annoying.
The graphics configuration is simple, no 3D acceleration unfortunately, but I think it isn't really necesarry unless you fancy HQ gfx.

The sound works great, better than the SPU's in ePSXe (psemu). I didn't notice any stuttering/choppyness during Final Fantasy IV, FF4 had choppy sound in ePSXe, even with a 1gb ram. I guess it's the compatibility of pSX that makes it perfect at this area.

Very detailed status display, it shows alot more than ePSXe's FPS display.

The CD Image path is neat, no more browsing for ISO's, or mounting images into virtual drive, simple said: loading a game goes quicker.

pSX is a very good emulator, but at this moment not for those who like fancy 3D graphics, 2xsal filtering and the likes. pSX seems also more accurate than ePSXe, I know it...

Only thing I would like to see in future updates is more options for graphics, such as Vsync, system memory usage, and some filtering if possible =).


- CrAcKo,

just wanted to express my impressions of this emulator.

why are people rubbing their pooties to this? ePSXe does this too with the command line -slowboot. im glad that ePSXe does that, i hate waiting through that. i always wished i could skip it on the real PSX.

ePSXe saves your last directory. how hard is it to go File-->run ISO-->double click on the image. i dont know about you, but i rip all my ISOs into one folder.

i could keep on quoting you, but the fact of the matter is.....it's worthless to compare these two emulators. why? each one is different at what it does. it's like comparing Peops Software GPU to Lewpy's Glide---it's totally a case of apples and oranges here.

pSX has its redeeming features, well so do ePSXe/PSXeven/SSSPSX/PCSX. use whatever you like. there's no reason to start an opinion thread, "well i like this emulator because..."
