There are several alternatives to ePSXe. [[PCSX-Reloaded|PCSX-R]] is very similar to ePSXe, and even uses many of the same [[Recommended PSX Plugins|plugins]], but is much better and is updated regularly. [[XEBRA]] and [[Mednafen]] are also viable alternatives, but they are different. They do not use plugins, and are native resolution only.

==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 official PS1 BIOSes are NOT compatible with save states done with ePSXe HLE BIOS (Besides it uses a different namespace).

| '''PROS''' ||
* Support for up to 8 simultaneous people playing
* No fiddling with router settings and port forwarding
* Netplay traffic is handled by a central dedicated server that helps keep things synced
* Private game chat support and public chat to speak people outside your game room
* Being able to drop out of a game at any time without disrupting (much) your teammate(s)
* Kicking/banning/muting people from your room
* It's a matchmaking service where you can join other people's rooms, too
|-
| '''CONS''' ||
* 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
* You need to constantly switch focus back and forth between chat and emulator window in order to chat
* You will hear no sound while the window is unfocused
* The emulator is extremely sensitive and desyncs if you focus on another window, move the window around or minimize it
* Not long after the game desync, the entire emulator will freeze
* Dropping from a game or trying to exit Kaillera will freeze or crash the game
