Information
Enhanced PSX Emulator most known as ePSXe is an emulator of the PlayStation video game console. Its initial release was on October 14, 2000 [1]. ePSXe is freeware currently available for download. For almost half a year, emulator was worked on as a silent project. When it was finally released, it was a major breakthrough in the PSX emulation scene, and boasted a revolution in compatibility and speed as compared to other emulators of the Playstation. Today, 7 years after its initial release, ePSXe is still among the fastest and most compatible Playstation emulators known to the public. As with most modern emulators, ePSXe requires the use of plugins to emulate GPU, SPU, and CD drive functions, a requirement first established with PSEmu/PSEmuPro. ePSXe also requires the use of a BIOS file dumped from a PlayStation. This is to avoid a legal problem, as it is copyright infringement to provide the Sony's BIOS for download, and unlike some other emulators, ePSXe cannot high-level emulate the BIOS. Technically, the only legal way to use ePSXe is to dump the BIOS from a PlayStation owned by the user. ePSXe can read from CD and run many types of CD images directly from the user's hard drive. With few exceptions, it is capable of nearly flawlessly emulating many PlayStation games. Of course, this is dependent on the plugins used and how they are configured. Games that do not necessarily run properly or even start at all, however, can still be fixed and played via the use of ePSXe patch files in .ppf format. On the latest version of ePSXe (and possibly some older versions), there's a patching feature that allows the user to patch certain games
