Editor's Choice Emulator ePSXe
To date, ePSXe is the best PSX emulator available, and unlike many others of the past, it’s also free of charge. For the best compatibility, ePSXe takes the crown, hands down. For more information on this great emulator, please see the Editor’s Choice Review.

AdriPSX ILE

v1.0.5 for Windows
4 / 22 / 2002
AdriPSX is a very reliable and compatible PSX emulator developed by Roor Makurosu and Juan Fazzini. AdriPSX has full PSEmu Pro plugin support as well as a simplified GUI for ease-of-use. AdriPSX also includes a decent set of default plugins, with the exception of a few quarks in the Gamepad plugin. Definitely worth a look to any PSX gamer.

v1.5 for Windows

v1.5 Source

PCSX is a fairly advanced and compatible open-source PSX emulator written by Linuxappz. PCSX features an internal HLE BIOS which means it will be able to run most supported titles “out of the box” without the need for a real PSX BIOS ROM. A drawback to PCSX is a slightly unintuitive interface and the fact that no default plugins are included. As a result, to use PCSX, you will need to download Graphics, Audio, CDROM, Gamepad and Netplay (if you choose to use Netplay) plugins. As a side-note, PCSX also has the option to change the default language to Italian.

v0.19 WIP for Windows

v0.18 for Windows

PSXeven is a Playstation emulator by Xeven with great compatibility and fairly good speed. PSXeven features a very nice GUI and the usual PSEmu Pro plugin system. The default set of plugins could best be described as the “failsafe” configuration, seeing as just about anything will run using them. The only plugins you may want to replace are the GPU and input plugins. Plugins and GUI aside, this emulator has excellent compatibility and is quite stable. The only downside to PSXeven is that at times, it’s slightly more demanding than some of the other emulators in terms of system requirements. To use PSXeven, you’ll also need a PSX BIOS ROM.

Also available is a work-in-progress build. This build is akin to a beta, and as such may exhibit instability and may contain incomplete features. Most users should download the current v0.18 build.
Overall Rating 7.5 out of 10
 

           The emulators below are considered works-in-progress. Due to their development stage many of these emulators may exhibit stability issues and may have little or no compatibility with commercial titles. Also due to their development stage we do not feel it's fair to rate these emulators as we do the others, so all emulators in this category are un-rated.

PSinex
Homepage
Revision 5 for Windows
11 / 24 / 2001
PSinex was written by Psychojak in C. Like many others, PSinex has full support for PSEmu Pro compatible plugins. Compatibility is somewhat limited compared to other available emulators, and stability leaves a lot to be desired. To use PSinex, you’ll need a full set of plugins and a BIOS ROM seeing as no default plugins are provided and BIOS emulation is not available.
