So what is  it exactly? 1,731diggsdigg   <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulation" target="_blank">Wikipedia says</a>  that “an emulator duplicates the functions of one system, using a  different system, so that the second system behaves like (and appears to  be) the first system.” This means that we can make our PC mimic a  specific system, which thereby enables us to run those system-specific  games on our computers. In this series, we’ll take a closer look at the software needed to  run PSX, PS2 and Xbox games on your PC. This time we’ll discuss Sony’s  Playstation (PSX) and the <a href="http://www.epsxe.com/" target="_blank">ePSXe  emulation software</a>. Part One – PlayStation 1 A lot of people had fun with the first PlayStation, including me, and  we can’t seem to get rid of it (in a good way).  All of the original  PlayStation games were playable on the PlayStation 2, and <a href="http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatus" target="_blank">most of  them</a> on the PLAYSTATION 3. These days you can even play them on your  PSP, so why not on our PC as well? To play Playstation 1 games on your PC, you need to download a  program called ePSXe. Step 1 – Download and install ePSXe The latest version can always be found <a href="http://www.epsxe.com/download.php" target="_blank">here</a>. As there’s no installer, you just have to unzip it in the folder of  your choice. You’ll also want some shortcuts, so right-click on the  ‘ePSXe.exe’, ‘send to’ and choose ‘desktop’. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/untitled.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 2 – Getting the PSX’s BIOS The installation is far from complete though, as this is only the  base of the emulator. Among the other things we’re going to need are the  PSX’s BIOS files. These are essential for the emulation, but there is a  catch. You are only allowed to own  these files if you also own a PSX. Make Use Of does NOT encourage  piracy! You can obtain the BIOS in two ways. You can dump it from your PSX,  but that is the long route. You can also <a href="http://www.emuasylum.com/index.php?page=emulators&system=Sony%20Playstation" target="_blank">download  it somewhere</a> (direct link <a href="http://www.emuasylum.com/emuextra/Playstation%20Bios%20Files.zip" target="_blank">here</a>),  but again, only if you actually own a PSX. We’ll extract these files in the \bios directory (you can also delete  the ‘erase.me’ file) <a href="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/bioss.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/bioss.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Step 3 – Getting image Again, we are not ready yet. Next we need the video plug-in. There’s a <a href="http://www.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe.php?action=plugins" target="_blank">wide  variety of video plug-ins</a> available, and (depending on your  graphics card) some might work better for you than others, so I can’t  tell you which one to use. I can point you in the right direction  though, as Pete’s and P.E.Op.S. plug-ins have made a good name for  themselves. If these do not work (well), try out a few and see which  works best (all Linux plug-ins are at the bottom of the page). We’re going to extract the downloaded package(s) into the \plugins  directory. You might need to overwrite the ‘gpu.dat’ file. Step 4 – Make some noise (optional) The ePSXe core has built in sound plug-ins, but in case they didn’t  work for you, check <a href="http://www.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe.php?action=plugins" target="_blank">here</a> for  alternatives (scroll down a bit). You can put these plug-ins in the  \plugins directory. Step 5 – Disk driver plug-ins (optional) The ePSXe core also has built in plug-ins for your disk drive, but in  case they didn’t work for you, check <a href="http://www.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe.php?action=plugins" target="_blank">here</a> for  alternatives (about halfway down the page). You can put these plug-ins  in the \plugins directory. Step 6 – adding zlib1.dll In their haste to please us, the developers of ePSXe forgot to add  zlib.dll to the latest release (v 1.70). You can get it <a href="http://files.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe/download/zlib1.zip" target="_blank">here</a>  (just drop it in the same directory as ePSXe.exe). Step 7 – configuring ePSXe You’ve got all the files you need now and are just a few steps away  from playing your games. Upon opening ePSXe.exe, or the shortcut you  made to it on your desktop, you will encounter a configuration wizard. <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/config.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> First you select the correct BIOS for your region (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PAL-NTSC-SECAM.svg" target="_blank">PAL being  Europe, Australia and a part of Asia</a>). You’ll notice that there are  different alternatives for your region, but all should work. Next, select your video driver. When you press ‘Config’, you can  change the video settings (like screen resolution, FPS limit, and so on.  Apart from the resolution, only change these settings if you know what  you’re doing. Press next and select your sound plug-in and CD-ROM plug-in. Last but not (at all!) least, you can configure your controller  settings. First press on the controller you want to configure. In my  opinion, the two best options here are either using a gamepad (USB, or  an original one with a converter), or your keyboard (‘Digital’ in the  menu). <img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/controller.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Step 8 – Boot and play Finally, in the ‘file’ menu, either choose ‘run CDROM’ or ‘run ISO’  to start playing! <a href="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/sce.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/sce.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> You can make ISO’s of your PSX games without special procedures. Just  use Nero, or another CD burning suite. Be sure to look out for the next articles in this series, where we’ll  take a closer look at PlayStation 2 and Xbox emulation.
