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.

The two emulators that use plugins differ in some key ways:==BIOS=='''PCSX-RDon't use simulated BIOS'''* Support for PeteOpenGL2Tweak plugin* lillypad input plugin* GTE Accuracy option in OpenGL 1, download and use a [[Emulator Files#PlayStation|real BIOS]].78* True widescreen option for 3D games

While it was the first plugin to add GTE accuracy and has many modern features, like arbitrary rendering resolutions, the core emulation doesn't use simulated BIOS''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, download though still works alright on Linux and macOS. 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 [http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?acpnmpajhq4jykl real BIOS]major hassle, as it involves setting up 32bit support and compiling everything as 32bit so it can work with the closed source 2.

==Emulator==
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.

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.
