How to get ePSXe to run most playstation games

1. First you will need to configure eSPXe. This may seem tedious and confusing, but it is rather simple. To do this you will need a few plugins that help eSPXe emulate the PlayStation properly. These are:

>Video Plugin - eSPXe comes with its own plugin, but it is recommended you search for and download Pete's OpenGL Driver (I use version 1.77).

>Sound Plugin - eSPXe also has its own sound plugin, it works decently, but you may want to search for and download P.E.Op.S. D Sound Audio Driver (I use version 1.9)

>CDROM Plugin - eSPXe has a good plugin that comes standard with it.

>PlayStation Bios - Bios are what tells the emulator how it should emulate the PlayStation, this is one of the most vitals components you need. Search for SCPH101.BIN, the most common bios.

2. Now that we have all the components we need, we have to move them to the proper folders. Locate the folder containing eSPXe (labeled ESPXE for the purpose of this article) and notice the Plugins, and Bios folders. Move your video plugin, sound plugin, and cdrom plugin (if you downloaded any other than the default) to the plugin folder. If you notice any files labeled 'delete me' or 'replace me', get rid of these.Next move your Bios file to the Bios folder, deleting any 'delete me' files as above.

3. Nearly there, dont give up now! Now all that's left is to configure eSPXe to use the plugins and Bios we've downloaded.

Run eSPXe. Click Config > then Video. You should see a window open that has a dropdown bar. Click the bar and select the video plugin that you downloaded. Click OK.

Now click Config > then Sound. Select your sound plugin from the drop down box, and click OK.

Do the same for the CDROM plugin, if you opted to download one.

Lastly, click Config > then Bios. Select the bios file that you downloaded, and click OK.

4. Finally! eSPXe is now ready to play your PlayStation CDs, ISOs, and CUE files! Click File > CDROM to run a PlayStation disc from your hardrive, or File > Run ISO to choose a ISO or CUE file to run!
