  Introduction:

The Sony's Playstation also known as PSONE or PSX has been one of the most succesful 32 bits console in the 90's. As a matter of a fact, it deserved a particular attention from the emu scene.
The first killer Playstation emu was by far PSX Emu Pro. First emu to run commercial roms with both decent speed and graphics. A milestone into PSX emulation.
Commercial emulators such as Bleem! or Virtual Game station cannot compete with the almighty ePSXe.
Whatever the choice, emu users can appreciate their favorite PSX game with enhanced PC graphics, sounds, and cheats opneing new and unexplored gaming experience.
