Overview
XEBRA has an accurate core, but its actual output methods are a pain. Motion is jittery as hell.
Fullscreen with multiple monitors is often buggy, while requiring you to set the resolution each time, as far as I know.
Aspect ratio control is manual.
The only scaling methods are nearest and bilinear.
The audio is crackly and poppy running full speed. And often just sounds wrong here and there, like volume/tone jerks and shit.
The checkered overlay from 16bit downscaling is much, much stronger than it should be.
I've seen PS1 on a high quality CRT TV over SCART. This shit just isn't right.
Then there's the interface. Even after you're used to it, it's still not comfortable to use.

3) Run PK201 and do the initial setup, select File -> Save STAT and close it.
4) Run Xebra, select whatever game you like, then select Run -> Run-1/2/3 to start the game.
5) When in game, select Run -> Outer Card to start PocketStation emulation.
