ePSXe is a plugin-based PlayStation emulator, though it comes with internal plugins for everything in addition to being able to use the same plugins as other emulators. It supports multiple CD-ROM formats (.bin/.cue, multi-bin/cue, .mdf/.mds, .ccd/.bin/.sub, .pbp, etc), including sub-channel support and PPF patching on the fly. Multi-tap up to 8 players are supported.
 
  
There are versions for Windows, Linux, and Android.

ePSXe is a plugind-based playstation emulator (includes internals plugins for sound and cdrom, and gpu in linux and android versiona). It's supports multiple cdrom formats (bin/cue, multibin/cue, mdf/mds, ccd/bin/sub, pbp, etc), including subchannel support an ppf patching on the fly. They don't support pad plugins. Multitap up to 8 players are supported.
  
A real PlayStation BIOS is recommended but not required. ePSXe can run games without an official PS1 BIOS via [[High/Low level emulation|HLE]], but compatibility will be lower and memory card support limited. Compared to other emulators such as the PlayStation core for Mednafen, it has poor accuracy to the original hardware.
+
There are versions for windows (free), linux (free) & android (pay)
  
VERY IMPORTANT: Save states done with official PS1 BIOSes are NOT compatible with save states done with ePSXe HLE BIOS (Besides it uses a different namespace).
+
They don't use HLE, so they require a real playstation BIOS to work.

* To make your life easier and to save game-specific configurations use the front-end [http://www.pbernert.com/epsxecutor1063-prerelease.zip ePSXeCutor].
 
* GameFAQs saves are in the dexdrive format (.gme), ePSXe can read those files, just select it as a memory card. If you plan to use the files in some other emulator use MemcardRex to convert it to .mcr or any filetype that is required by that emulator.
 
* To delete settings
 
*# If you ever need to delete ePSXe's settings go to Start -> Run -> Type: "regedit", find and delete this key: <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\epsxe</code>
 
*# If you need to delete the settings of plugins then delete this key: <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Vision Thing\PSEmu Pro</code>
 
*# If you are using Blade's plugins delete .ini files in the "configs" directory.
