==Review==
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.
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.
VERY IMPORTANT: Save states done with a official PS1 bios BIOSes are NOT compatible with save states done with ePSXe HLE bios BIOS (Besides it uses a different namespace).

===Downloads:===
* [http://www.epsxe.com/download.php ePSXe 2.0.5]
* [http://cyberpad.duttke.de/files/cpka-v14.zip Cyberpad 1.4]
* It's slightly (significantly still) prone to freezing/crashing/BSOD (in that order)
* Random, inconsistent FPS drops due to the server trying to keep everyone synced, sometimes stuttering. It's annoying, but rarely does it make it unplayable
* The emulator is based upon (ePSXe 1.60, a 10 -year -old version) lacks a lot of options, and emulation accuracy is low
* Everyone needs to have the exact same ROM version or netplay won't work (if it somehow does, it'll desync rather quickly)
* Everyone needs to have the exact same save file or no save file at all, or else it desyncs
# Replace the stock kailleraclient.dll with the P2P version (v0r7) IF you just want to play with 2 players AND you have a >100ms (>150ms tops).
# Place SCPH7502 (unzipped) inside the "BIOS" folder inside your emulator folder
# Place your video plugin, Eternal SPU , and Cyberpad in the "plugins" inside your emulator folder# Configure your emulator: map buttons (physical controller preferred!), change resolutions (no fulls creen fullscreen supported), apply filters (if you want them). Make sure you ONLY pick Digital or Analog, no rumble on, Multi-tap disabled and a blank profile for Controller 2
# Go to Config, then click Sound
# Click Configure
** F6 - Select what pad will be affected by key F5.
** F7 - Toggles between primary and secondary GPU plugin while playing a game.
* 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 are using Blade's plugins delete .ini files in the "configs" directory.
