epsxe hasn't been relevant in like ten years. the devs just reanimated the corpse to make money from mobile versions.
The best emulators for psx are Mednafen and Xebra, neither of which are particularly user friendly. I think beetle is a mednafen core, but I have no idea how up to date it is.
I use Mednafen personally. It's also the best emulator for Sega Saturn & PC Engine.
OKAY, I am SUPER happy guys.
I just converted my memory card for both visualboyadvance and epsxe over to retroarch without a hassle.
Man, feels good. The only remaining one that is a problem seems to be SNES9X, but I will try to do that later.
ScaleFX is godlike. Makes Aria of Sorrow look almost like it was made today. xBRZ is decent but it just cannot do anything with the wavy jagged lines in those games. It's accuracy is also way off when it comes to small lines and detail.
Same goes for Yoshi's Island. ScaleFX is my new to go filter.
I think I am going to start my very first playthrough of Super Metroid with ScaleFX! I think I will use Higan.
Is there a Higan I should use over the other ones? What are the differences in the Higan versions? I'm using Beetle software because HW would not even load.
I literally almost had an orgasm when my Lunar save loaded up lol.
How have i not heard about scalefx before now!?

That slope... It's beautiful!
Yeah dude, I was kinda late to the party too. But holy shit it is amazing. If I could post some pics I would, but just know that every jagged line on a rope, character, et cetera is basically smoothed over and only the faintest hints of small saw tooth jaggies remain.
That comparison is good. A really good one is Yoshi's Island too. And Aria of Sorrow benefits immensely from it. The save statues for instance are terribly wavy, as is Soma's general clothing. It looks really butchered with xBRZ. But with ScaleFX it's very modern looking, very accurate, and it makes the games a lot more immersive IMO.
It is literally a game changer IMHO. It sinks xBRZ into the abyss of nothingness despite that filter being decent.
