I am very interested in the next release of pSX. I do have a few questions about it. Currently I use a 64 bit version of Ubuntu linux. To my knowledge ( and I might be mistaken) pSX is only 32 bit. Will the next version of pSX have support for 64 bit Linux? Also I was wondering if the next version of pSX would be out before September of 2009.

Ah, pleased to hear there's a new version due when it's cooked to perfection. I also run a 64bit O/S (Windows 7 rc1) and hope that it will be compatible with it.
Thanks to whoever is doing the work on it now, it's been a long time since I had a look in here to check..

When I said, two hours before your post in this thread, that you shouldn't be necroposting, that didn't mean pick an equally irrelevant but living thread to post your question. Especially since I *answered* your question in that thread. In case I wasn't specific enough...
Game: Please insert disc 2.
You: Click "File", then click "Eject CD".
You: Click "File", then click "Insert CD image" or "Insert CD drive" (whichever one you're using).
Game: Thank you. Now loading disc 2.
That's it. Please, search the forums and read the links across the top next time, before asking questions about basic game mechanics.

I heard that pSX 1.14 was going to be released soon. I wonder if that is true.

Hello everyone, I like to post an special thank u to all those (coders especially) whom made this great SuperB emulator  I have tested several games from cd aswell from the hard drive, and i must say iam VERRY IMPRESSED  how psx runs so flawless on my machine that works whit both audio and video hardware OnBoard unfortunately  By flawless i mean F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S .. No sound cracking , looping, no visuall glitches wotSOever unlike  epsxe  which i have tested for day's LITTERALY for DAyS to get even 1 game to work flawless  The graphics of epsxe sure looks good but boy GliTCH glItchES all arround = a total waste of my time to get this BUGGY soft to work not to mention the TONS of plugins/shaders you can tryout and CERAinLY will FAil at a certain spot in the game if not all the way !!! How on earth can they expect us to play a game through whit so many flaws in epsxe and or plugins!!! So distracting annoying if you ask me.. So in a nutshell, i not only dislike epsxe i HATE epsxe for wasting my time and almost my interest to play those psx classics again. Seriously, i think i speak for allot of poeple when i say all praise to psx emu. Even though it cant probebly play as much games as epsxe such as Parasite Eve 2 (classic) for example  If i have to rate this emu..; From wot i have experience so far i give it on an scale of 10 9,9/10 . I just hope we havent seen the last of the psx releases again, MUCH APPRECIATED psxme, |

EPSXE is not so bad, it depends on many aspects. On my machine, EPSXE runs flawslesly on most games I have. Also, keep in mind that EPSXE's compatibility is better.
I do prefer pSX though. Not only I don't need plugins to use it, but also pSX removes slowdowns that happens on the real hardware. pSX's timing is better, and the interface is more friendly.
But EPSXE isn't THAT bad. And in fact, I still use it sometimes. Some games (like Valkyrie Profile) are less buggy in EPSXE, so I still have to use it.

Also, keep in mind that EPSXE's compatibility is better. Uhh... I might have to dispute a statement like this. At best, I'd say pSX solidly has better compatibility. At worst, I'd say there's no way to say which one is better. Mainly, it depends on what you mean by "compatible". If you were to make a scale, 1-5, of how playable a game is (something like "perfect", "near-perfect", "playable", "barely playable", "not playable"), pSX would probably get more points in most random game collections. Also depends on the type of computer you have. Especially on older computers, pSX will win for sure, since I've come across a few games in ePSXe that pretty much require you to use the (slow) software renderer, unless you like not being able to read anything. On the other hand, I *have* seen ePSXe load up games that pSX still struggles with. So it's not necessarily a one-sided thing. I just feel that pSX does a better job of making the PS1 game collection playable from start to finish. We'll see when v1.14 comes out, how things look between the two (since ePSXe recently had its "update after forever"). Of course, there isn't a whole lot of logic to debating which one does what better. Especially since a large portion of us keep both emulators around anyway...  |

Taking the fact that I've tested more than 2500 games already, and I can surelly say that EPSXE plays more games. Like you said though, we'll have to wait for the 1.14 version to fairly compare. But 1.14 isn't still a reality for me, so I can't count on its existence. pSX plays many games exactly like they should, EPSXE has more glitches. But EPSXE plays MORE games... The games in EPSXE are more glitchy for sure, but I'm talking about the number of playable games. The games that plays on both emulators play better on pSX, but EPSXE boots the most games. Like I said, I like pSX better, but EPSXE is still more compatible (quantity-wise, notquality-wise). I mostly use EPSXE for games that can't be beaten on pSX though, like Parasite Eve 2. Lets wait for the 1.14 to see if I'll still need to keep EPSXE.  I hate messing with plugins. |

That sounds about as close to agreement as we'll get (as I'd have to agree that if ePSXe had one worthwhile strength over pSX, it's the ability to boot more games, whether they look good or not)... lol.
I feel like v1.14 is a reality, but one that we have no idea how to feel about (because it's been so long, but pSX Author *did* say it was coming soon). I can say this though... odds are very good that it'll be a *long* time before it's fair to say that only one is needed for a very large collection of games.

pSX plays many games exactly like they should, EPSXE has more glitches. Thats EXACTLY my thoughts from wot i have experienced. Take FFIX for example, a CLASSIC to the CORE ( to me atleast and several hundreds of thousands buyers according to the statistics) I have tried to work out a annoying sound glitch in some FMW 3d movie scenes.. No matter which plugin , no matter wot setting .. The sound loop/glitch wotever you want to call it appeared always at the SAME timeframe in that particular movie sequence !! The best possible plugin i could find to work are the Eternal sound plugin and p.e.oPs OPENGL2 graphics plugins. But no matter wot, playing it from CD makes things even WURSE oh boy.... STUTTERS, STUTTERs and MORE LAGSS jesus... Now, whit psx 1.13 i just put in the game wheiter its been played from CD or Hard Drive it doesnt matter it JUST PLAY in the Way ItS MEANT to play (not bashing epsxe or anything, its just the cold reality)... Have been testing a dozen games which all play FLAWLESS so far on psx emu And my new assembled rigg is more Then CAPABLE to emulate psx by now. Athlon 64 x2 5000+BE @3000ghz 8GB DDR2-800 corsair (dual channel = more bandwidth) 256mb Geforce card and so on... cheers, psxme |

I can't speak for sound too much in ePSXe (I switch between the Eternal, P.E.Op.S., and ePSXe sound plugins as needed/desired). But for graphics rendering, if you want as hassle-free an experience as possible, you should nearly always being using the P.E.Op.S. software renderer (considering you have a PC that can handle playing most all games with good settings on that plugin). It seems to be the only plugin that is capable of properly rendering text in most RPGs. Of course, it takes a decent PC like mine or yours to get good use out of it, since it tends to be a resource-hog with just decent settings (it's a software renderer after all).
For a CD-ROM plugin, I tend to use the P.E.Op.S. plugin with Async reading (apparently, the best setting for most games, from what I was told... never given me problems). Your results may vary of course. Just figured I'd add that input just in case.

@gamesoul Master Trust me when i say, that i have try out every possible plugin at different settings. The best possible plugin for my system wos for graphics the P.e.oPs Opengl2 1.9 (or other p.e.ops gpu plugins did work nice too) , and for ssound eternal 1.5 revisions. Graphics were working Near perfect no problems there oddly enough. Appart from some minor graphics glitches like horizontal or verticall lines (dont know the technical term) when using texture filtering setting 2 (extended) in such games as Lunar , LoD my Framrate wos always excellent 49-50 for pal and 59-60 for ntsc games As for the cdr plugins, the only plugin that "worked" whit much lagg that is wos the epsxe core 1.7 nt/2k scsci plugin!! I recall using the pe.ops cdr plugin (ill never forget about that one).. Guess wot , at best i got an black screen nothing more much less  ... Wurst case my whole system suddenly locked up !!! Yes, my whole vista x64 system just TOTALY froze when i try to read from an physical cd. Had to shutdown the conventional way = hitting the resset button on my rigg!!! Now, just out of curiousity i have tried to reproduce that wide system lockup on XP pro SP3 x86 (32bit enviroment) .. No lockup anyumore , but still dont boot giving me blackscreens instead and the same laggy sound shit going on!!! And the best part of all is ,the sound of some games worked better in epsxe 1.60 !!? Go figure The botom line is , its terrible distracting to focus on a game i want to play through whit so much sound lagg.. I rather have some frame skipping then sound skipping if you ask me.. |
