Plugin-less Alternatives
These are The PSEmu Pro plugin spec is used for dozens of emulators and many plugins were written for them. While the PS1 emualtors [[epsxe]] point of the spec is to allow a plugin to work in all emulators, various extensions or hacks have been added to some plugins and [[pcsx-r]]emulators causing incompatibilities. Both use  The following are the same recommended plugins to use and the info can be used for setting up bothcomparisons between them. Certain For a more complete list of plugins and options however cannot be used in , see [[ePSXe]] and can only work [[PCSX-Reloaded|PCSX-RPS1 Plugins]].

ePSXE cannot use:
- lillypad input pulgin
- GTE Accurace option in OpenGL 1.78
These work in 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-Rsupports CPU overclocking ([https://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]].

Set keyboard input to raw also, otherwise you wont won't be able to use hotkeys. Also ensure that a folder titled "inis" is created in the folder of your emulator if you want to save your preferences.

*[http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Pokopom-KrossX-s-Pad-Plugin Pokopom XInput Pad Plugin] XInput plugin for PS1, PS2, and DC emulators. It's a light-weight plugin with a lot of options, such as the ability to switch the bindings of the cross and circle buttons around for Japanese imports. 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.

Lilypad doesn't support PS1 mouse and Epsxe has an internal plugin for mouse support. In order to emulate the mouse peripheral in PCSX-R, you need this plugin.

These PS1 emulators do not use plugins, in case you want something that ''just works'' and is more accurate.
