The PSEmu Pro plugin spec is used for dozens of emulators and many plugins were written for them. While the 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 emulators causing incompatibilities.
The following are the recommended plugins to use and comparisons between them. For a more complete list of plugins, see [[PS1 Plugins]]. Also note that ''none of the plugin-based emulators are recommended'' for general use due to the availability of newer, plugin-free emulators (see below).
==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.
==Input==
*LilyPad [http://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/ latest SVN] - The plugin comes formerly came with [[PCSX2]] (go into the plugin folder and pull out the file that says lilypad.dll and put it in the folder of the emulator you plan on using). Set keyboard input to raw also, otherwise you 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. It is no longer possible to obtain LilyPad from current PCSX2 builds, as PCSX2 has integrated all plugins and dropped PSX support from LilyPad prior to this.:Use the following if you're using a PS3 controller::*[[SCP Driver Package|LilyPad-SCP]] if you're using a PS3 controller (Comes with the SCP driver, which is a very nice alternative to based on the [[MotioninJoy|MalwareohJoinSCP Driver Package]]):*[http://www.motioninjoy.com/wiki/en/game/guide/pcsx2 LilyPad-MalwareohJoy] (if you have a DS3 and are using MoJ)
*[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.
*[http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Nuvee-PS1-PS2-input-plugin-supporting-lightguns-by-Shalma Nuvee] is a plugin for emulating PS1 mouse and Guncon. 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.
