[[EPSXe|ePSXe]] is a fairly standard plugin based emulator, and since it's closed source it gets only updates from the main developers. And only a few minor updates once every few years. Though 1.8.0's biggest addition was the Android version's advertisement. Closed source, focused on profit, and out dated. Although the basic program is near identical to PCSXR there are subtle differences. As this is plugin based, a guide to setting this up can be found here: http://forums.ngemu.com/showthread.php?t=85600 . Also note that PCSXR uses the same plugins so the knowledge gained can be ported over.
 
[[NO$PSX]] is a well-rounded emulator by the same author of [[NO$GBA]]. There are two versions of the emulator, but standard users may want to use the cut-down gaming version. It offers great compatibility with very low spec requirements – the programmer's philosophy is to deliver a working application out of the box. It includes a BIOS clone, which reproduces most of a genuine BIOS' functionality, although you can also use a standard BIOS too. As of today, it's still being developed. PocketStation is emulated through [[NO$GBA]].
It's generally recommended to use Mednafen or PCSX-R. Many use Mednafen for 2D games because of its accuracy at native resolution ,ePSXe or Linux/OSX version of PCSX-R for 3D games because of support for plugins which allow for better graphics quality than original hardware.Unfortunately best PSX plugins which can increase internal resolution and have support for shaders(Pete OpenGL2 v2.9 and Edgbla gpuBladesoft v1.42a) are closed source and weren't updated for years so they are quite outdated and are not bug free.
