Indeed, I was just staring at that part of seiferalmasy's post after reading wizzel's post... wizzel: Mind actually telling us what bugs you're talking about (naturally, in the Bug Reports forum) instead of just telling us "oh yeah I found a whole slew of bugs"? If you actually want to see a change, I think you should probably make it clear what should be changed instead of leaving us hanging...

yeah when I said all games, I meant all games that I have tried...so that would be 4. (It has not crashed at all on FF7 though...yet;)) I make sure I make myself clearer next time

(yes I can see the smiley :-)) pSX is the most compatible Playstation emulator available to the public. In other popular emulators you have to change plug-ins or settings most of the time to make games run properly or at all. SuneDon't want to start a big discussion here, but i can't leave this standing. ePSXe is the most compatible Playstation emulator available on planet earth. When we speak of compatibility, i guess we should only judge an emulator on how many games it runs perfect (99%) and pSX is far away from that. psxAuthor is aware of this fact, just read his recent interview. It doesn't matter how you turn it. You might not like the plugin-system or all the patches, but ePSXe is the most compatible. Don't get me wrong - I know the goal of pSX becoming the most exact PSX-emulator and i like the .ini style more than all the registry-writing that ePSXe does, but it's still a long way to go. The commandline of pSX still lacks some good parameters - for instance direct CD-ROM access. pSX has many little bugs that prevent it from making a major breakthrough, right now. For example i don't see why Tekken 3 hangs after the replay-camera. It can not be a big bug. Ultima: I'll post the bugs i've found in the Bug Reports forum.

personally I have grown to despise EPSXE. The plugin thing is awful and confusing. Nearly all games have some sort of main bug or anomaly and need fixes or tweaks to the plugins. Sometimes, there is no hope at all. (FF6 doesnt even start)
I have never got FF7 working at full speed on epsxe...it slows down everytime there is a disc load (screen change etc and on iso too)
Then theres the fact if you use some enhancements the game suddenly disintegrates (like green outlines on FF7 for example.
No pSX, if carrying on this way, will beat the ass out of epsxe. Now if the epsxe team had been sensible and concentrated on doing what pSX has, they would probably have gotten epsxe a lot better than it is.
Plugins = messing, incompatibility and confusion in my opinion.

I found it really interesting to know a little more about pSX Author. It's good to know that pSX Author is actually human and not just a non-stop programming machine. Lol. Thanks for the info. Here is the exact link for anyone else who wants to read it: www.emunews24.com/Artikel_7_50.html#en

Interesting, wizzel - it would seem pSX Author is planning a Linux port in the near future - I think we kind of had the impression here that that wasn't too likely. I have to say, though, I like ePSXe. Certainly, I prefer pSX, and I think as time goes on the gap will widen but, for me, ePSXe works well and, as you say, _does_ have better compatibility than pSX ATM.

How the hell can you disagree with me and then agree with him?? Think about it. Sometimes It feels like this forum is part of some distorted, alternative universe.

hi guys, new here... anyways... in response to sune... what seiferalmasy is saying... is that while compatability wise... ePSXe still wins ATM (refering to you).... plugins are just sucky (refering to wizzel)... at least thats what i think it is... cheers...

compatability wise... ePSXe still wins ATM.... plugins are just sucky... at least thats what i think it is... Yes, I think that's what he's saying as well. But what I'm saying is that ePSXe depends on plug-ins to run games. If you have no video plug-in for example, you can't play any games. Pete Bernert's video plug-ins are awesome, especially the soft GPU. But you still have to go and change settings sometimes for things to work properly. I'm not even going to start on sound and CD plug-ins, and which plug-in works better whith which drives and so on and so on.. Anyone who says that ePSXe is more compatible than pSX either got really lucky, or they only have 3 games and one of them is Fist of the North Star: Seiki Matsukyu Seishi Densetsu.

Well they definatelty werent trying to play FF7 nicely, or FF6 like me.
I will never go back to that godforsaken emulator. I am just happy I found this place, and way things are going pSX will kill EpsxE in a short space of time.
And EpsxE hasn't had an update in ages either....
