Good PSX (one) games ? Links needed...
I'm just a beginner in PSone emulation and I use epsxe.
Who knows (really) good games for the Playstation ? I know Tekken 3 and the Tomb Raider series. I wonder if there is any good game database in the net like hol (but maybe with gamer ratings)... ? Who knows an easy PSone Controller to PC adapter schematic (one Controller would be enough for me) ? Thanks ! |

My personal recommendations:
Parappa the Rappa. Very short but excellent. Dont know if it works on emus though as relies on timing/sync Vandal Hearts - Turn based RPG - very simple to play. Ive completed it 3 times. Wild Arms Bust-A-Move. |

Jim, nice link, sorting by "avg.score of all sites" is also interesting. I think it's better that "Tekken 3" in No.1...
Thanks to the others for the hints... 1. Tekken 3 PS Namco 27 8.1 95.3% 95.2% 2. Gran Turismo PS SCEA 25 8.2 94.6% 95.1% 3. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 PS Activision 36 8.3 94.0% 93.3% 4. Metal Gear Solid PS Konami 60 8.9 93.8% 93.4% 5. Final Fantasy VII PS SCEA 44 8.9 93.3% 92.9% 6. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater PS Activision 56 8.1 93.1% 92.8% 7. Chrono Cross PS Square Enix 70 8.7 92.3% 91.7% 8. Final Fantasy IX PS Square Enix 65 8.7 92.1% 92.4% 9. Resident Evil 2 PS Capcom 46 8.7 91.9% 91.7% ... |

If youre gonna DL Tekken 3 make sure you dont get the PAL version as its noticably slower and has ugly borders
My recommendations Metal Gear Solid Tekken 3 Soul Blade Silent Hill Ridge Racer Vagrant Story Final Fantasy VII Wipeout 3 Gran Turismo Tomb Raider 2 International Superstar Soccer I.S.S Super Puzzle Fighter Parapper the Rapper Xenogears Koudelka Parasite Eve (import only) |

Yep the PAL version sucks balls.
That's one of the reasons I never bought a PS2 either, damn shitey ports and lack of 60hz modes. booooooooo @ lazy arse companies. Rant over... back on topic... Vagrant Story rocks. Play it now. |

If anyone wants to buy some original PSX games then Ive got some starting at £3.00 on bay this week.
Look in the 'for sale' section for links to my auction. |

Just reading this thread made me get out my old Soul Blade cd. That game has one of the best startup sequences I've seen in a long time. Music and atmosphere are superb in that title.
