Changes

The two recommended plugin emulators are [[PCSX-Reloaded|PCSX-R]] and [[ePSXe]]. Since ePSXe added support for most PCSX-R exclusive plugins with 2.0, the main difference between them now is that PCSX-R supports CPU overclocking ([https://github.com/SonofUgly/PCSX-Reloaded SonofUgly's fork] only) though ePSXe introduced it in later versions. ==BIOS=='''Don't use simulated BIOS''', download and use a [[Emulator Files#PlayStation|real BIOS]]. ==GPUVideo==*[http://www.ngemu.com/threads/160319 PeteOpenGL2Tweak]: A mod for [Filehttp:Ps1settings//www.pbernert.com/html/gpu.png|thumb|238px|Having problems?

While Pete's OpenGL2 2.9 is the most accurate GPU plugin, it is missing many features and those are what PeteOpenGL2Tweak adds; most notably the ability to render at resolutions higher than 1280x960, but it also adds GTE accuracy, proper aspect correction, true vsync, and xBRZ texture scaling. * PEOPS OpenGL 1.78 - Comes with [[PCSX-Reloaded|PCSX-R]]. Has Fork of the source release of an anti-jitter function labeled "older version of Pete Bernert's GPU plugin. While it was the first plugin to add GTE accuracy"and has many modern features, like arbitrary rendering resolutions, the core emulation doesn't seem to have improved over the years, at least not to the level of Pete's OpenGL2 2.9. Some time ago it was broken so that most games crash on Windows and was never fixed, though still works alright on Linux and allows driver-forced AAmacOS. Still, there's not much reason to use this over PeteOpenGL2Tweak, except for the fact that getting PeteOpenGL2Tweak to work on Linux or macOS is a major hassle, as it involves setting up 32bit support and compiling everything as 32bit so it can work with the closed source 2.9 plugin that only provides 32bit x86 binaries. *[http://emu-russia.net/en/files/plugins/psx/ Edgbla's gpuBladeSoft] ^{[http://forum.emu-russia.net/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1188 homepage]} - Latest with HD resolution support: [http://www.pbernertemutalk.comnet/threads/gpupeteogl20954527-edgbla-s-gpuBladeSoft-v1-42a 1.zip OpenGL 2.942a] - Use if you run into problems with Mostly interesting for its texture replacement feature, added in 1.7844.
