Comparisons
PSXfin is outdated and development stopped. It would be the best if it was actively developed. It has a lot of compatibility issues.
ePSXe is also outdated, and since it's closed source it gets only updates from the main devs. It gets a few minor updates once every few years.
PCSX-R is actively developed and open source. It has a widescreen hack, fewer glitches, and support for superior plugins, such as lilypad. It's basically ePSXe, as it uses the same plugins, but more advanced and better. No reason to not use it over ePSXe.
Mednafen psx >After 0928 update basically every game seems to work in it >High compatibility (please tell me if a game can't owrk in it, honestly curious) >2.0 dualcore intel needed. >No plugins, native resolution only
Whether Mednafen or PCSX-R is best if up to personal preference.
