How to Configure the EPSXE Emulator for PC

Before you can use the ePSX3e emulator, you have to configure its plug-ins, or tell the emulator what plug-ins to use to simulate graphics, sound, and input functions on your computer. The emulator program includes a configuration wizard that you can use at any point for basic plug-in setup. The nature of PSX emulation and your machine specs means that you really have no idea what plug-ins will work best with a given game; you just have to experiment using trial-and-error.
