Then when closing ePSXe, always use File > Exit to make sure it exits properly. My 300MHz AMD K6-2 ran everything I threw at it in ePSXe except Final Fantasy and Chrono Cross battle swirls back in 1999, though the plugins back then weren't very good for big framebuffer effects like that. screen.) Before now I didnt use 'memory card' saves, because when I did this at first I lost all my memory card saves when ePSXe closed. Try saving & loading like this: Press ESC to exit the game and bring up the ePSXe window. Don't worry about the idea that more threads faster. Just because it was widespread and popular does not mean it will always be so - otherwise, we'd still be using NESticle, Gens, and UltraHLE.Īnd if those all sound like Greek to you, you should DEFINITELY be taking my advice. If games aren't running slowly, ePSXe is crashing. I've seen a lot of emulators come and go in twenty years.

And for those who still want to use emulation (most likely to play the psx master edition beta 4, as it is not supported on psydoom), duckstation is the best option you got.įor anyone else who reads this topic, while the general recommendation would still by PsyDoom, for those who really want the authentic experience (framerate and all), please use DuckStation, or RetroArch's BeetlePSX core (and/or whatever they call their DuckStation core).ĮPSXe was a good emulator back in the day, but it's simply outclassed by either of those options in emulation accuracy, reduced complications due to not being plugin-based emulators (is the bug in the emulator, or the plugin?), and a whole bunch of other technical shit that I'd be happy to bore you with if you wanted to ask me about it. Spoiler: The fix for diehard ePSXe users There is a glitch where the emulator either crashes or hangs on a black screen on startup.
