It was written by three authors, +using the aliases "Calb", "_Demo_", and "Galtor". It has been described as +the best freeware Playstation emulator available. + +ePSXe makes use of a plugin system to emulate GPU, SPU, and CD drive functions + * GPU: Most GPU plugins run with either Direct3D, OpenGL, or the + Glide API, and are available freeware or open source. + * SPU: The SPU plugins can emulate everything from music to sound + effects, with varying degrees of success depending on the plugin + settings, and of course the plugin being used. + * CD-ROM: ePSXe comes with a core CD-ROM plugin, but many others + are available for freeware download and many can emulate up to + seven different types of read modes. + * Input: The core plugin is sufficient, but there are others that + allow for more functionality. It is even possible to plug in and + use a DualShock controller with a USB adapter. + +If you want to add plugins to the epsxe, go to $HOME/.epsxe, where you +will find the plugins directory. Note that this script installs many +needed directories owned by root:games and writable by that group; if you +want a user to be able to install plugins, then make sure they are in the +games group. |
