Not exactly user-friendly. Undecided

It would be a lot easier if the makers of ePSXe included a save file converter themselves for people who want to switch over.

Your talking about an 8 year old emulator that is programmed and tested by unpaid volunteers with no time constraint for a system 14 years old. Working with the PS3 is hard enough for developers in the industry. To learn it from scratch without a dev kit and program apps for it that are compatible with multiple OS'es and versions of ePSXe that will get very little use and possible scrutiny from Sony, wouldn't really be worth their efforts in the short term.

As with many emulators, half the fun is in the process. What Tony has described in that step by step process is no different than optimizing video/CD-ROM or sound settings on the emulator and possibly less time consuming.

Oh, ok. I'm sorry about that.


I'd still prefer to buy a cheap PSone rather than having to do all that, though.

As you should if you want to truly enjoy it. I've messed around with emulators since the 90's but I'd never choose to play an emulator over the real thing. It's handy for screenshots and such but the fun of an emulator is making it work, not playing the games per se.

I'd even skip the PS1 or PSOne and go for a new PS2. They are only $100, are readily available and have plenty of accessories. Might as well have the option of PS1/PS2 on the same system along with faster loading speeds for PS1 games. My PS2 Slim is nearing 4 years old and works as good as the day I bought it. Thousands of hours between everyone who has used it, sometimes 12-14 hour marathons and has seen hundreds of games between PS1 and PS2. I love my PS1's but I can honestly say I wouldn't be as confident about the reliability of a 10-14 year old used PS1 bought from a stranger as opposed to a brand new PS2 with 8 years of bug fixes and hardware inprovements to it's credit.
