Im sure most of you have heard of emulation somewhere. So what is it exactly? Wikipedia says (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulation) 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, well take a closer look at the software needed to run PSX, PS2 and Xbox games on your PC. This time well discuss Sonys Playstation (PSX) and the ePSXe

Part One PlayStation 1

A lot of people had fun with the first PlayStation, including me, and we cant seem to get rid of it (in a good way). All of the original PlayStation games were playable on the PlayStation 2, and most of them (http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatus) 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 here (http://www.epsxe.com/download.php) . As theres no installer, you just have to unzip it in the folder of your choice. Youll also want some shortcuts, so right-click on the ePSXe.exe, send to and choose desktop.

Step 2 Getting the PSXs BIOS

The installation is far from complete though, as this is only the base of the emulator. Among the other things were going to need are the PSXs 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 download it somewhere (http://www.emuasylum.com
/index.php?page=emulators&system=Sony%20Playstation) (direct link here (http://www.emuasylum.com/emuextra/Playstation%20Bios%20Files.zip) ), but again, only if you actually own

a PSX. Well extract these files in the \bios directory (you can also delete the erase.me file)

(http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/bioss.jpg)

Step 3 Getting image

Again, we are not ready yet. Next we need the video plug-in. Theres a wide variety of video plug-ins (http://www.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe.php?action=plugins) available, and (depending on your graphics card) some might work better for you than others, so I cant tell you which one to use. I can point you in the right direction though, as Petes 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). Were 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 didnt work for you, check here (http://www.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe.php?action=plugins) 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 didnt work for you, check here (http://www.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe.php?action=plugins) 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 here (http://files.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe/download/zlib1.zip) (just drop it in the same directory as ePSXe.exe).

Step 7 configuring ePSXe

Youve 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.

First you select the correct BIOS for your region (PAL being Europe, Australia and a part of Asia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PAL-NTSC-SECAM.svg) ). Youll 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 youre 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).

Step 8 Boot and play

Finally, in the file menu, either choose run CDROM or run ISO to start playing!

You can make ISOs 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 well take a closer look at PlayStation 2 and Xbox emulation. You might also want to check out ps3maven.com (http://ps3maven.com/) it provides Playstation 3 updates, news and everything related to the cool ps3 game console (By) Simon is a student from Belgium who wastes his time relaxing, watching anime and surfing the net.
