Title: PSX emulation on my cab
Post by: darthbane2k on November 11, 2005, 06:05:02 am

I was thinking about dabbling into psx (playstation 1) emulation for my cab. Obtaining isos is easy im just wondering if I can get things full speed.

I have a athlon xp 1800 with 768mb RAM and a 32mb graphics card.

Is it possible? What emus do you reccomend (mamewah friendly) and what performance am i likely to get?

I want to run the following...

1)Tekkens 1 , 2 3
2)Ridge Racer
3) Rave Racer
4) Ridge Racer type 4
5) Ridge Racer Revolution
6) Final Fantasy VII VIII IX (How does disc swapping work for these multidisc games)
7)Xenogears
8) Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2

have you used epsxe?  I know that used to be popular.  Dunno about anymore though.  Can't comment on the specific games you mention.

I have run a bunch of games under espxe, does a really good job IMO. Can't verifiy for your particular games though, I was playing Tony Hawk 3 and some RPGs.

Yeah...

I spent a lot of time to run PSX games...
Epsxe is the best available emulator,because it support almost all games...Epsxe is very much popular due to its large Plugin support,video,quality.It is a Command line emulator...

You can find Hardware requirements but here is my experence.
I suggest 700 mhz Intel MMx/AMD with atleast 256 L2 Cache.
256 MB ram.
16 Mb AGP card.
WindowsXp.

You can configure it with mamewah.You should be fine.


I have the same setup with a some of the fighting games and working fine.

I don't want to state this toohighly, but..........................................outside of Mame, I LOVE THE eSPXe EMULATOR!!!!!!  I added it to my mamewah frontend, and wow, was I impressed to the point of wow.  I am a product of the nintendo age, and man this is great on the cab.  I have a usb hub located on the front of my cab, and it is great with joysticks.  Cabinet controls are okay, but only works well in some games.
