If you don't NEED to play on the original hardware, a modded PS2 is a great choice. You can burn games on higher speeds (up to 24x) and you have access to another giant library of games. The good quality CD-R tip still applies here though.
Welcome to my ePSXe emulator tutorial!
First i will explain how to download
and setup the epsxe program
First go to epsxe.com and download
the espxe 1.7.0 emulator and save it to the desktop...
http://epsxe.com/download.php
Then extract the file contents and put them in a
seperate folder on your computer...
As you can see i saved the contents to
a folder named 'emulation' in my documents
Now go to that folder and delete the zipped
folder on your desktop if u want...
Now you will see the folders, two of
them are the most important for now
PLUGINS and BIOS
You need to download plugins and a bios on
the internet
Plugins can be found on sites like this..
http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/...
You will want at least two kinds of plugins,
Video and Sound.
There are other kinds but they are not important
you will want to try many differnt plugins to get the best
combination of potimal video and sound performance.
When you download one put it in your plugins
folder on the epsxe folder.....
The .dll files in the folder are the actual plugins
now, a bios is like a set of instructions that runs a PS1.
To get a ps1 bios you can either download it
or rip it from your own ps1.
But remember that it is illegal to download it
online, i don't condone it, but it is possible.
One last thing you need to check is if you have the dll
file zlib1.dll in your epsxe folder
If not you can download it here....
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll...
Ok so when your done the folder should
look like this....
Ok now fire up epsxe and see if it works
Now you need to set up everything using
a wizard on epsxe.
this is what to select.....
Go through the setup like i did and select
what plugins you want and configure
the contoller on your keyborad if you want.
Now your all set except for games which is explained on another one of my videos.

Yes, I am aware that Playstation emulation has only gone so far and that it's crappy and buggy, but I'm sure my problem is some kind of 'Oh my god, I was so stupid!' kind of problem that I overlooked something. Basically, I want to play LSD Dream Emulator more than any other game right now and I've been trying to work with EpsxE for about 6 hours now. However, whenever I run the CUE file of LSD DE I just get a blank screen with no sound, no nothing. However, the 'Controller 1' image still shows; so I know it's not a freeze or crash problem. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'll leave a list of the plugins, settings, etc. Obviously, I use SPCH1001. Another thing to note is that I'm trying to run a CUE file, and I only try running it with the 'Run ISO' Option. Also, I put these plugins in the Plugins folder and not the main part of the Emulator's file.
Sound plugin: SPUPeopsDsound.dll
Video Plugin: gpuPeteOpenGL2.dll (I also have some file called gpu.dat in the plugins folder as well.)
CD-Rom Plugin:cdrPeops.dll
BIOS:SPCH1001 (I put in the BIOS folder respectively.)
I also have a file in the main section of the winRAR file called burutter.dll. I'm not sure if that's causing the problem.
Okay, now I'll go into the Video Settings.
Window Mode; Window Size: 640x480
Internal Y and X resolutions are both 1: High.
Stretching Mode and Render Mode are at 0.
Colour Depth is 32 Bit.
Texture Filtering: 0.
Hi-Res textures are obviously OFF.
GFX Card Vram: 0 (Autodetect)
Offscreen Drawing and Framebuffer Upload are 0.
Framebuffer effects are 1.
None of the Misc. options are enabled.
My Hard Drive has 87 GB left of its 282 GB.
My laptop runs on Windows 7 and was built by eMachines.
I have an AMD C-50 Processor which has 1.00 GHz.
It also uses a 64-bit operating system.
If you're looking into it for me, thanks. I might try screwing around with the settings, but I'm not one for that because I wouldn't know where to start or what to work with first. Thanks, guys.
