Question 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%

I have the PAL version but I'm emulating (with epsxe). Therefore I have no problems with the speed (adjustable) and which borders do you mean ?

Im only going by what I witnessed on a real PS. The PAL version had ugly borders at the top and bottom of the screen and gave the characters a squashed look. Maybe emu sorts this, I dunno.

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.

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.
