A guide to setting up ePSXe's plugins can be found The two recommended plugin emulators are [[http://ngemu.com/threads/epsxePCSX-configurationReloaded|PCSX-guide-windows.85600/ hereR]] and [[ePSXe]]. Just remember that Since ePSXe added support for most PCSX-R uses the same exclusive plugins and with 2.0, the info can be used for setting up main difference between them now is that one too.PCSX-R supports CPU overclocking ([[Categoryhttps:Recommendations]//github.com/SonofUgly/PCSX-Reloaded SonofUgly's fork]only) though ePSXe introduced it in later versions.

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]].

It doesn't have any button binding options, but since it's meant for mapping an emulated DualShock controller to an actual DualShock controller, you don't really need to rebind anything. You can also edit the analog stick deadzones, which many PSX input plugins don't let you do. Also, it supports PCSX2.
