Many great games were released on Sony's first game console. Even now, when there are many other projects, I want to reproduce some of the old masterpieces. If the console itself is not there, then a second problem appears - to find discs with games. Therefore, many people prefer PS emulator programs.
Instructions
Step 1
Images can be found and downloaded online - use your favorite browser and search engine. Disk image files are about 700 megabytes in size. So be prepared to spend some time downloading - depending on the speed of your internet access.
Step 2
Now download the emulator program for this gaming system. One of the most popular is called ePSXe, its latest version is 1.7.0. The PSXeven software product is also quite common. Most of the plugins (utilities) are written for these two emulators. Ask in the search engine the query "Download epsxe 1.7" and you will easily get the emulator itself, a set of plugins and the console BIOS - the console firmware required to run games.
Step 3
The downloaded emulator will most likely be zipped. Unzip it to a folder at the root of your logical drive. It should look like this: D: / EPSXE 1.7.
Step 4
Open the emulator folder, run the main file, usually epsxe.exe. The program window, the black window of the system console and the configuration wizard window will open. If the setup wizard does not appear, open it manually. To do this, select the Config item and the first Wizard Guide sub-item in the menu bar.
Step 5
In the Configuration Wizard window, right-click Config. A window titled Configurating the Bios will appear. Make sure that at least one line with an entry like scph1001-USA is highlighted in its middle part and click Next.
Step 6
The video output plug-in selection page appears, titled: Configurating the Vide. It is best to choose from the list the line Pete's D3D Driver 1.68 - this is the most stable and tested plugin. But you can experiment. When selected, click the Test button. If you get the message Plugin working correctly, click Next. If you get an error, select another plugin and click Test again. When you find the right one, click Next.
Step 7
The next configuration window - Configurating the Audio - allows you to select the audio output subroutine. Your best bet is to leave the default and just click Next - the built-in plugin works fine on almost all systems.
Step 8
Configurating the Cdrom allows you to select a virtual floppy driver to run games. Choose ePSXe CDR WNT / W2K Core 1.5.2 - this is a proven option from the developer. Click the Next button to proceed to the control settings.
Step 9
You will see two buttons - Controller 1 and Controller 2 - for the first and second joysticks. Click the desired button to open the detailed setting window. You will get a schematic representation of a joystick and displayed windows with buttons. Click on the desired window, and then press the button on the keyboard. This will bind it to the selected joystick key. When done, click OK to close the window and Next to move on.
Step 10
Confirm the completion of the settings by pressing the Done button. Close the emulator through the File menu, Exit item.
Step 11
Run the emulator again, it is now ready to go. Click the File button and select Run ISO if you downloaded the image in this format. If not, or you do not know what format your disk image is in, select the Run CDROM item. In this case, before launching into the virtual drive, you need to mount the game file.
