Crash holds up decently.
*crash pics*
I can never get audio to work right :/. Few weeks back, I tried playing FFIX, but for that reason I just gave up and played my discs on ps3.
So many damn plug-ins. I wish there was just default settings that worked with everything.
The SNES hardware is rather demanding in a few interesting ways.I think Yoshi's Island never worked properly in ZSNES when it came to some sections. I also believe the game had less issues in SNES9x, but the game slowed down in those same sections.
Funny how a 2D game that's sixteen years old seems to be demanding on emulators.
Does this thing emulate PS2 games yet? I bought DQ8 but ended up selling my PS2 since I was moving and then upgrading to a PS3.. but they took out BC of course so I've had DQ8 on my shelf and have been unable to play it for 6 years or so. Or are we still a solid 4-5 years away until it's "easy" to emulate PS2 games yet without a $3,000 PC?
I still think playing PSX games on a real CRT *OR* using a PSP w/ 1:1 mode is the way to go. Emulators really compromise the visuals in a big way by bringing the flaws to the forefront. 2D elements become a pixelated mess while 3D elements just look super dated and simplistic. The games look and feel so much more coherent on a proper CRT running on original hardware.
Oh, I know, but it's still either very chunky or blurry. Neither replicates the appearance of those pixels on an interlaced display. 320x240 blown up to 1920x1080 or higher with or without filtering is unattractive.you can choose to filter 2d/3d elements selectively with this emulator

Everything blends together so much better on a real system.
Use PCSX2 for PS2 games, should only take an overclocked i5 CPU to run at full speed, which is common in modern gaming PCs. I played through some of 'The Warriors' for PS2 on it a while back in 1080p, it ran pretty great.
I had a hell of a time getting my aspect ratio correct at fullscreen with any plugin in ePSXe. I have to play windowed to get it to play at 4:3. If I go fullscreen it stretches or displays it incorrectly somehow. And Resident Evil 2 runs terribly at just about all settings (with an i5 + 570 gtx)
pSX runs everything fine and at a good aspect ratio, but has no bells or whistles to clean up the image.

Launch Xebra.
1)Select File->Open->OS ROM Image... (xebra1.jpg)
2)open your bios image (xebra2.jpg)
3)Select File->Open->CD ROM via SPTI... (xebra3.jpg)
4)open any file on it (xebra4.jpg)
5)Select Run->Run2(1-pass) (xebra5.jpg)
6)After a short gap the game start (xebra6.jpg)
Steps 1) and 2) are only required for the first use.
Ciao.
P.S.: on FF7 probably you can't see any files... no problems, make an'ISO and:
3a)Select File->Open->CD ROM Image... (xebra7.jpg)
4a)open your image (xebra8.jpg)

I loved the toon filter... took this VR Mission screenshot a while back. It looks way better in motion, but I'm too lazy to boot it back up again.
And NFL Blitz 2000... again, better in motion
Quisti'stis't'is nose is looking looooooooong.
Yeah, i though that too, also she's 18? What.

Totally believable!She was really smart or something for her age and managed to become a teacher by 18. I think it's explained in some backstory area or something on the ingame internet.
This here is one of the crappiest moments I've ever experienced in a videogame.
Dialogues are so awesomely bad.
CTR Sewer Speedway with a celshading shader

Tried to run this thing, but even after setting BIOS and Plug ins, it crashes at start up, as soon as i try to "run" something. :\
What's the best Cartoon Shader to use?
I have 3 Cartoon folders, all with sub folders.
Advanced Cartoon Shaders
Cartoon Shaders Class B
Cartoon Shaders Class C
For those having stretching issues in ePSXe:
That's with Pete's OGL2 video plugin. You need to check that use window size in fullscreen option, and type in a window size based on the 4:3 ratio you want with whatever your fullscreen resolution is. So for 1080p, you do 4 x 1080 / 3 = 1440 to get the horizontal resolution.
I kinda like Xebra, but it doesn't look like it has a correct aspect ratio option for fullscreen.
i'm pretty sure I tried this, but I'll try it again tonight. Thanks!
I found epsxe to be a bit of a mess honestly. So many little problems, screen sync problems, innaccurate graphics and audio etc.
A big problem with ps1 games is the fact that the original hardware had severe 3d geometry issues. A lot of the games don't look right when you max up the resolution, it really brings out the issues. Characters wobble all over the place like they have parkinsons, and walls have giant bends in them and look all wonky and aren't straight etc....
But then there're the crash bandicoot games that manage to look good. Naughty dog are wizards!
