Many things have been fixed in the cd-rom decoder and the core. - CMKCot, on 05/25/2008, -2/+53wow, this is totally unexpected.
tnx for all your hard work Epsxe team!
and some gratitude to pete too xD he's been coding for the ps emu scene as far as i can remember. he's old school indeed.. just check his webpage, hasn't change it's style in over 6 years. :p - chil2c5, on 05/25/2008, -3/+45Great work! Now time to upgrade the linux version to 1.7 as well.
- Evil20071, on 05/25/2008, -6/+47WOAH!!! I thought they stopped doing the ePSXe emulator... AWESOME!!!
- keithburgun, on 05/25/2008, -20/+60Well, if you liked video games, you'd already have windows installed.
- WTF69, on 05/25/2008, -3/+32Heres a PS2 emulator jsut incase anyone wanted to check it out
http://www.pcsx2.net/ - smacksaw, on 05/25/2008, -0/+27Totally tubular to the max, too. Woah!
- hardcorerikki, on 05/25/2008, -3/+26A Linux version should be coming soon, as usual
- 64fanatic, on 05/25/2008, -1/+22Ah, its been a long time since 1.60.
- hardcorerikki, on 05/25/2008, -0/+20FFX was even among the first to be emulated, and probably one of the fastest playable 3d games (followed by 2d games). Compatibilty is pretty high actually. See compatibility list:
http://pcsx2.net/compat.php?c=key - muka3d, on 05/25/2008, -0/+18More detailed changelog:
ePSXe v1.7.0, released on 24.05.2008
- Multiple changes has been done in the Pad support. This version supports
the Axis LRX, axis with +/-/full ranges, and a important bug in vibration
support has been fixed avoiding crashes. In the sio emulation section,
this version includes better DualShock protocol support, including
vibration in more games, and adding 2 new pad types, "DualAnalog" and
"Negcon". Finally thanks to the new Pete's gpu plugins, a new type of
"visual vibration" has been included, shaking the image when the
game triggers a vibration effect. (Note: if you are using epsxe 1.6.0
or older, it could be necessary to reconfigure the pad plugin in this
new version).
- The internal SPU plugin has been updated to the 1.7.0 version. This
version includes new effects like better envelope, noise, interpolation,
frequency modulation, reverb and better synchronization between the core
and the sound. Thanks to this last fix, the following games work better now:
Metal Gear Solid, Valkyrie Profile, Eithea. Besides the spu API now
includes support for CDDA playing, getting better CDDA sound and core
synchronization, and compatibility with Vib Ribbon.
- In this new version, the iso support code has been rewritten. Now it supports
the formats BIN/CUE, BIN/CCD and MDS/MDF (and minor fixes to ISO/NRG
support). Besides, due to the changes in the internal spu plugin, now
the CDDA sound is supported even when you run a iso game.
Advice!!!: The files BIN/CUE, BIN/CCD must have the same name and
different extension or the games will not be loaded
- The MDEC decoder has been rewritten in the new version to get
new games playable suach as Area 51, Novastorm, Eggs of Steel
and Maximum Force. It also fixes other minor bugs in other games
like Rayman and Metal Gear Solid SM.
- In 1.7.0, thanks to Pete's help and his gpu plugins, the framelimit
management has been changed. Now the framelimit is always
enabled on startup and it can be toggled on/off with the F4 key.
It is recommended that you update your GPU plugins to the
version that will be released around the epsxe release date.
- In this new version, a new version of the Pete's Software Plugin is
included in the plugins directory with the name "gpu.data. With the
F7 key it is possible change on the fly between the selected gpu
plugin and that gpu soft plugin. The software plugin "gpu.dat" can
be configured in the GPU plugin configuration screen with the 3
bottom buttons.
- The XA/CDDA support has been worked in this new version, fixing sound
problems in the following games: Gamera 2000, The Putter Golf, Silverload,
The Firemen 2 Pete & Danny, Iron & Blood - Warriors of Ravenloft,
Chronicles of the Sword.
- Fixes to the CD-Rom decoder and the core, which made at least 50 more games
playable like, for example, Brigandine, Need for Speed 1, Harry Potter I&II,
Danger Girl, Wacky Races, Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor, Shadow Madness,
London Seirei Tantei-Dan, Monsters SA, Equestrian Showcase, Black Down,
Paca Paca Passion 1/2/special, This is football 2, Formula 1 EA 2000,
Winnie the Pooh, Formula one 99/2000/2001/arcade, Gegere No Kitarou,
Konohana - True Report, Yukyu Gensokyoku 3 - Perpetual Blue,
Tama - Adventurous Ball In Giddy Labyrinth, Future Cop LAP, Virus 2000,
Spot goes to Hollywood, Pop'n music disney Tunes, Cosmic Race,
Super Gals Kotubiran, Koran Karon, WWF in your house, Tales of Fandom,
Transformers best of wars, Simple 1500 vol57 - the maze, Initial D,
Jounetsu Nekketsu Athletes, Rise of Robots 2: Resurrecion,
Tora Tora Tora, Victory Boxing Championship Edition, Final Fantasy 4,
Vampire Hunter D and otros.
- Note: for information about compatibility and games's configuration,
it is recommended that you visit the "Playstation Datacenter" at
http://psxdata.snesorama.us/. We want to thank Gladiator who has
been a very important help in betatesting the new version. - EvilFerret, on 05/25/2008, -0/+17Just throwing it out there, but maybe it's because Vice City Stories never came to PC? Your heart is in the right place though, GTA games are always vastly superior on the PC.
- Megatog615, on 05/25/2008, -0/+17I like my 80's colloquialisms in the 80's, but this is acceptable also.
- hardcorerikki, on 05/25/2008, -0/+16And now, Pete has released updated versions of his awesome ePSXe plugins.

http://www.pbernert.com/ - rukeypoo, on 05/25/2008, -0/+15Oh yeah, you're right. I must have skipped over stories in that sentence. I stand corrected. Forgive me.
- cerealjynx, on 05/25/2008, -3/+18I like my PS1 games on my PSP, but this is super rad also.
- BrainCoder, on 05/25/2008, -20/+35Only Win32 version, ugh...
- inactive, on 05/25/2008, -1/+14Sweet *****, this is awesome. I may finally get a chance to play this box of PS1 games I bought for $5 at a garage sale. :D
- inactive, on 05/25/2008, -0/+11sweet! now i can make a comment about playing my old ps1 games!
- Psythik, on 05/25/2008, -0/+11You're forgetting about those who run 64-bit Windows OSes.
- YumYumKittyLoaf, on 05/25/2008, -11/+21I prefer Psxfin http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/
Works out of the box with no plugins, and plays exactly like it would on a playstation, no sound distortion or anything. Only drawback is that with ePSX you can raise the resolution higher than normal, while with PSXfin you can't change the resolution, but it still looks like you're playing on a playstation. - ThatEvilGuy, on 05/25/2008, -1/+11ePSXe is by far the best PSX emulator there is, I hope the team will start working on PS2 ePSXe2, soon.
- vagarach, on 05/25/2008, -0/+10Too bad Shadow of the Colossus doesn't work so well :(
- CJChesterson, on 05/25/2008, -3/+13Yes, but if you run ePSXe on your Mythtv box, then you *need* that Linux build...
- IDiggDrSiN, on 05/25/2008, -0/+9Yes , I have played through both Final Fantasy 10 and Final Fantasy 12 using the latest SVN builds.]
PS2 Emulation has come along way in the space of around a year. - jacobu9, on 05/25/2008, -2/+11Oh my god. FINALLY this came out. It seems like I've been waiting forever! Finally.
- roomaustin, on 05/25/2008, -0/+7Finally, now I can play all of those PS1 games I have been waiting to play.
- trofeo, on 05/25/2008, -0/+7I completed GTA Vice City Stories using pcsx2, it was playable just about, the FPS sucked sometimes and it occasionally crashed, but I was able to have some fun and complete a game :]
- MCA2142, on 05/25/2008, -2/+9Can this run Final Fantasy X?
Silly question, I know. Don't burn me please. - ThankTheCheese, on 05/25/2008, -1/+8there actually is a PSX emulator for the iPhone, but it's very very slow, like trying to play GTA4 on a Wii.
- thisissami, on 05/25/2008, -0/+6i've never heard "sweet *****" used that way before...
- Shenaniganz08, on 05/25/2008, -0/+6Hmm i never finished Breath of Fire 4... guess this is a good time to start replaying
- mrinsanity, on 05/25/2008, -0/+6dugg for sweet *****
- YumYumKittyLoaf, on 05/25/2008, -0/+6You have to get the bios with any Ps1 emulator no matter what, haven't found a PS1 emulator that came with the bios. I felt that it wasn't needed in my description because of that.
- virtualball, on 05/25/2008, -0/+6That's not a "hefty list" but it's better then nothing :)
- Pyroteq, on 05/25/2008, -0/+6Wow, I remember using this back in the day. I think I was looking for Playstation emulators before they were even available.
- AshTR, on 05/25/2008, -1/+6Hell yes! Dugg and favorited! Go ePSXe!
- suprchunk, on 05/25/2008, -0/+5roms? Really?
- jgtg32a, on 05/25/2008, -3/+8The PS2 emu is actually working now?
- RoflcopterFUEL, on 05/25/2008, -0/+5At first I thought you were joking, cuz the first question any newbie asks, or the first thread they make in the pcsx2 forums is always "can i play ffx with this? is my comp good enough for ffx?"
- wgasa, on 05/25/2008, -0/+4Sweet *****. lol!
- yelnatz, on 05/25/2008, -1/+5your pc sucks.
- inactive, on 05/25/2008, -1/+5the ps had some super awesome games and games taht are still awesome like vagrant story
- fredmv, on 05/25/2008, -0/+4Holy *****! Good call. A note to GNU/Linux users, you may need to grab "libgtkglext1" to get it to work. Anyway, back to MGS1.
- FuXe, on 05/25/2008, -0/+4Wow, this is crazy. My brother and I just started messing around with 1.6 earlier this week. Playing through a bunch of old FF with the amazing graphics this produces.
Just dumped all the plugins over to 1.7. works like a beaut! - cliffyboro, on 05/25/2008, -3/+7I thought they lost the source for this? Maybe that was a different emu.
- mypetridish, on 05/25/2008, -0/+4sigh. i need ps1 games. i need them for my PS2 exploit :P
- Bulletbillx, on 05/25/2008, -0/+4http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCSX - there is a PS1 emulator that doesnt require a BIOS and apparently has compatibility on par with epsxe.
Connectix and Bleem didnt need a BIOS either but those projects have been dead forever. -
