Several problems occur when running PS1 games. And , and they become more noticeable at resolutions higher than the internal native resolution when using HLE, hardware-accelerated plugins such as Pete's OpenGL. Though they're still apparent at native, the low resolution's aliasing kills much visibility, hiding the issues.
Jittering polygons are caused by low-precision fixed-point (to the native res, essentially) math. And more accurate math where relevant helps, i.e. [http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/Recommended_PSX_Plugins#Video GTE Accuracy]. Though it can often create holes in the seams.
The PS1 hardware didn't have a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-buffering z-buffer]. The lack of a z-buffer causes things like polygons popping over others. Tekken character limbs is are a good example to see that.
No texture perspective correction causes distortion to texture angles at certain viewing angles. Notably at the bottom near the camera.
