    I'm using ePSXe160. Used it before on my old Dem4600 desktop running Windows XP PRO. I'm running the american version of the BIOS -- and it was loaded into the emulator. Now when I run Castlevania SOTN (or any PSX game) it is not working. Crashes. Asks me to send a report to Microsoft *clicks do not send*

    I got it to work with no tweaking on my Toshiba M45 w/ MS Home. Runs perfectly.

    Why isn't it running on my Sony?

    Ok so I figured out a way to skip ePSXe160 (which has worked in the past).

    Now I just got pSX v1.10 w/ GPU plugins + SPU Lewpy / and FF is now running at a nice fps. No sync issues here.

    Well you can check out Lewpy's3D GPU plugin which allows you to do frame limits. Also it syncs exactly well with the music.

    Even w/ a C2D/7600G0, I wish there were some way to improve these classic, yet still loveable, graphics.

    Here is a picture of where I'm at so far =)

    With ePSX i could go futher than you using less time, but i ll probably die in battles since it's too quick. Get the PC version(just BT it, dun tell anyone), the quality is better than the PSX versions.

    i like Cloud's character, he's so cool.

    When I used ePsx, my games looked infinitely better, like Medal of Honor and Panzer Front, although the biggest problem was that the music started great, and then crawled down, and down to a halt....very annoying.

    Blasphemy! The PSX version has the good sound, the PC version was in MIDI format.

    There are some cool openGL plugins you can get for ePSXe, ones that make it look like a comic book or other stuff.

    my current (and working) plugins for ePXS
    (all settings and plugins make it exact 100% of PSX gameplay)
    - i use the ePSXeCutor front end for the emulator, helps out A LOT
    - GPU: P.E.Op.S Soft Driver 1.17
    - SPU: Eternal SPU Plugin 1.3
    (or) SPU: Pete's DSound Audio Driver 1.9
    - CDR: Internal ePSXe W2K CDR
    - Virtual Drive: DAEMON Tools
    (to mount images from HDD, its much more efficient and faster than playing off a disc)

    Note: My settings and plugins are to get as close to original PSX gameplay as possible, so no fancy AA or graphical enhancements (which dont can cause a game to not look right, if you know what i mean.)

    I have dumped every BIOS version, all should work.
