Djay, don't bother with anything else but EPSXE. It's an incredible emu!
If you need help, setting it up (should be easy), just ask.

You will need a Bios, search google or rip your own! and also some plugins, the best being here at Petes page.

you might want to try the connectix one if you can get hold of it.

Enverex · 14 December 2003, 13:14

For the BIOS, just google the word SCPH1001.

Doesnt work too well? I have it for the mac but it needs specific video cards to run which I dont have and wont bother to get. Gaming on the mac isnt that great (except for the older stuff)

Although it hasn't been updated for almost two years (and probably won't since if I remember correctly Sony bought the rights from Connectix), I think that this emulator remains the best for 2-D PS games.

ePSXe is far more superior for everything else. But I always had a better experience playing Castlevania SOTN/NITM on VGS than on ePSXe. No matter the settings, ePSXe gives me choppy screen transitions and the music sometimes becomes jungle techno for a few seconds.

Anyway, as there are some good memory cards converting tools, the time played to test VGS won't be wasted in vain.

Its hard to say which is best, sometimes its your sound or Cdrom plugin that may cause a graphic glitch, its one of those programs that need a lot of experementing with to get te best out of it.

The only games out of many I've tried that seems elusive to fix for me are Soulblade screen transitions just as you start to fight, I cant seem to fix this and Metal Gear Solid in game video seems very ropey at the best of times and I cant get te sound right, game plays fine though! funnily enough I have similar sound problems on the PC version of MGS2..

good luck.

I remember trying it on the first iMacs, with the crappy ATI Rage cards.
Worked fine, if a bit slow.
I played Panzer General and FF Tactics.
I was commenting on the CVGS for Windows.
It's crap, crud, junk, ass, trash, etc.
And you have a 50/50 chance to get the XP patch to work (the last version, 1.41, won't work on XP most of the time).
Its crap.
EPSXE rocks..that has got to be the finest emulator ever, console-wise.

Well I have a modded working PSX so never bothered trying the emulators out.

Peanutuk · 15 December 2003, 20:27

I tried muppet racemania and its too fast!!

How do I slow it down?

Drake1009 · 15 December 2003, 20:36

Wasn't there someone who had released a GUI frontend for epsxe where you could make configurations in the style of winUAE configs so you could setup the best config for a game and load that because there were some plugins which were better for some games while other games might require different setup?

in the video config menu, make sure the "use FPS limit" box is ticked, and select "autodetect FPS / Frameskip limit".

yeah, likewise...

but i've got a non-modded PS2 which doesn't play ermm backups and my PSX is stashed away somewhere...

having bought a Sony PS2 to USB adaptor, so using an emulator seems like a great idea for my needs

plus, my video card has S-video out so i can link that to my whoppingly big TV thats sits in my computer room

Peanutuk · 17 December 2003, 08:40

Is there any kind of exploit for the PS2 similar to the gamecube exploit?
