6 years ago (I think), started to born the first psx emulators, the first
working emulator "PSEMU pro" broke the rules, but was Bleem! the first almost
90% compatible emulator, obviously it was a pay emulator, with a bit of luck I
was able to find a hacked version of bleem, then I discovered VIRTUAL GAME
STATION, the best according to me, but now discontinued. In thoose years,
1999-2000, it was recomemded a very powerful pc to run a emulator decently, now,
with the pass of the years, all we are able to have a decent computer in order
to run an emulator without problems.
I guess you know what "EMULATOR" & "ROM" does mean, if not, then search on
the net or ask your friends, I'll just tell you that with an amulator you are
able to play psx games with your pc, thats all, so let's go ahead.
The last emulator I've found on the net is
ePSXe,
is the best right now, who knows, maybe tomorrow I'll discover one better,
let's start by to verify the pc requeirements:
For best results I suggest you a Pentium 4, 512 MB of RAM, and a good video
card.
If you love the psx pad like me, then I suggest you to buy and usb-psx adapter,
I wasted just €.13,00 for one, but if you have electronic knowlegde, then you
can build your own pararell adapter, you can a very complex guide
here,
but I suggest you to go to your favorite online psx shop and waste €.13,00.
The next step is very simple, the emulator can't work without the psx bios,
after installin ePSXe, you need to place the pasx bios in the bios folder of
ePSXe, where to find the bios????, well, you can take a screwer, open your psx
and search for this damm bios, but it can be dangerous, ha ha, just go here
www.filemirrors.com, enter
SCPH1001
for ntsc version or
SCPH7502
for the pal version.
Now you need to find the graphic plug-in, this will be easy, just clic here, and
place it in the plugins folder, unlike the past emulator all these tools are
free, but remember, in order to download a copy of the psx bios, you need to own
an original psx.
Now plug your psx adapter, insert your favorite psx game in your cd drive, run
ePSXe, and from FILE choose RUN CDROM, you can run iso images also, wow, just
remember to edit the video preferences for best results.
Unfortunately, there are not 100% PS2 emulators funtionally, you can try
PCSX2,
but it only runs demos and one or two commercial games.

you already pre-ordered you PLAYSTATION 3 ????
