Anyone ever use the Playstation emulator?

Has ne1 used the psxe emulator before? I'm having trouble with the darn thing. Sometimes when I got and play a game it loads like a part of the beginning and then freezes like in ff8 where it just loads upto the sony entertainment thing. Sometimes the frames go too fast and it wont slow even if I slow it down. So if you used it can you please let me know how all your settings are and the plugins that you are using.

I bought a PS

...

No, I'm serious

Playstation emulators suck...and only run well if you have like..40 gigs of RAM

if you want games, mod-chip then burn..^^

Yeah, I used that to play my PS games since my PS1 memory card fails and I do not wish to purchase PS memory card so I use it.

I have tried playing the games and it works fine for me. What you need to find are the good plugins for your CD-ROM and also your video. Some of the good ones are Pete's plugins. If possible, try to convert your CDs to ISO so that you do not need to worry about the freeze.

And yeah, remember that you need a quite good system in order for it not to lag.

Or just grab Virtual Game Station if you don't mind crappier graphics.

I remember having that problem. You just have to play more around with the settings, mostly the video settings. And yeah, it would be wise if you upgrade your plug-in drivers. Try using opengl instead of DirectX or vice-versa.

If the game is moving too fast on your system, then your system good enough to play PSX roms. (Try setting the frame rate to 24fps. Turning on the fps indicator should help so you could estimate how fast it should be going.)

Even though I always have the emulator and a rom on a partition, my settings always get resetted after every reformat. And unfortunately, I don't currently have my FF8 game with me. It's different drivers and settings for every different computer for every different game (yes, you have to change configurations to play other games). If you're too lazy to do that, then that's where money comes in.

I'm currently in progress beating Metal Gear Solid (PSX) and I'm playing it on the console. Though, I'm not saying I'm too lazy to set some configurations on the emulator. It's just that I don't like playing games on my computer xD.

Like i said, get VGS if you are lazy to do some configuration. It doesn't require any plugins and i've played FF8 or Castlevania on it before so i'm sure it works.

You can also convert epsxe save files to VGS using converter from aldostools website.
