Emulator
Stop using ePSXe and use PCSX-R.
A guide to setting up ePSXe's plugins can be found here. Just remember that PCSX-R uses the same plugins and the info can be used for setting up that one too.
BIOS
Don't use simulated BIOS, download and use a real BIOS. Any BIOS file in that package will work.
Video
- 3D: PEOPS OpenGL 1.78 - Comes with PCSX-R. Has an anti-jitter function labeled "GTE accuracy", and allows driver-forced AA. Despite being open source this plugin wasn't updated for years either and has inferior feature set compared to OpenGL2 and gpuBladeSoft and even GSDX.
- Pete's OpenGL2 2.9 homepage - More accurate and compatible than OpenGL 1.78. It allows you to set a custom rendering resolution for within the fullscreen box, aka window resolution and has support for shaders. Unfortunately this plugin is closed source and wasn't updated for years. A hack was made to add GTE accuracy, and a few other options: PeteOpenGL2Tweak.
- 2D: Edgbla's gpuBladeSoft 1.42a homepage - Very accurate and has a lot of options for enhancements and shaders, but renders everything on CPU so can be very demanding at high resolutions. Fairly buggy past native rendering resolution as well, with texture misalignment issues and whatnot. Like Pete's OpenGL2, it's closed source and hasn't been updated in years. But there is some hope the author will release a new version.
Audio
- P.E.Op.S 1.10 beta - Recommended for most games and setups (in order to use turbo, the mode needs to be set to 2: Async Simple; it will not work with 3 or 4).
- Eternal SPU 1.5 - Useful for the few games/PCs that have issues with P.EOp.S.
Input
- LilyPad latest SVN - The plugin comes with PCSX2 (go into the plugin folder and pull out the file that says lilypad.dll and put it in the emulator your plan on using's plugin folder). Set keyboard input to raw also, otherwise you wont be able to use hotkeys.
- Use the following if you're using a PS3 controller:
- LilyPad-SCP (Comes with the SCP driver, which is a very nice alternative to MalwareinJoin)
- LilyPad-MotioninJoy (if you've a DS3 and are using MiJ)
- Pokopom XInput Pad Plugin XInput plugin for PS1, PS2, and DC emulators. It's a light-weight plugin with a lot of options, such as the ability to switch the bindings of the cross and circle buttons around for Japanese imports. It doesn't have any button binding options, but since it's meant for mapping an emulated DualShock controller to an actual DualShock controller, you don't really need to rebind anything. You can also edit the analog stick deadzones.
This pack has preconfigured versions of both the regular and SCP versions of LilyPad.
Plugin-less Alternatives
These PS1 emulators do not use plugins, in case you want something that just works and is more accurate.
