ePSXe emulator: download & tutorial configuration

ePSXe is an emulator of the Sony Playstation video game console for PC. ePSXe makes use of a plugin system to emulate GPU, SPU, and CD drive functions, similar to the model first introduced in PSEmu Pro.

System requirements:

• Processor: Pentium 200 MHz, recommended 1 GHz

• RAM: 256 MB RAM, recommended 512 MB RAM

• Graphics card: 3D graphics card needed with support for OpenGL or DirectX

• Operating system: Windows: 9x (95, or 98/98SE), NT (XP, 2000, Vista, etc) -- GNU/Linux (any distro will do)

• CD-ROM: 16x or faster (optional)

It is important to note that the resources required depend largely on which video game you want to play, & computer requirements,

for example: "small" PCs will run Battle Arena Toshinden correctly, but the results will not be the same with Final Fantasy 9.

In any case, more the computer its powerful more its better (in condition of course to have the best ePSXe configuration). For those who have a modest PC, do not worry, you can play your ps video games properly by following this tutorial, because the whole secret of this emulator is the choice among the many good plugins available that are suitable for your hardware.
