Download ePSXe 1.70

After a silence of more than four years, version 1.7.0 of ‘enhanced PSX emulator’, ePSXe in short, was released a few days ago. Known as one of the best of its kind, this Playstation emulator uses plugins to emulate components such as the GPU, SPU, and CD-ROM drive. Apart from the api for the plugins, the program itself is closed source, but is offered for free. There is also a Linux version of ePSXe, but it has not yet been updated to version 1.7.0. Below you can find what has changed in this release:

Changes in version 1.7.0:

• All regressions of ePSXe 1.6.0 have been fixed, so version 1.5.2 shouldn’t be needed anymore.
• At least 50 more games playable, including the “killer-app game” Vib-Ribbon.
• Many games work better (including crash fixes): Final Fantasy series, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Metal Gear Solid, Rayman…
• Chrono Cross: “-noauto” argument and “odd/even bit hack” special game fix are not needed anymore.
• Internal SPU plugin : CDDA sound support, great improvements of quality and synchronization
• Support for new ISO formats: BIN/CUE, BIN/CCD and MDS/MDF.
• CDDA sound available even with the “Load ISO” command (no need of virtual drive nor Mooby CDR plugin)
• On-the-fly switch (F7 hotkey) between main GPU plugin and integrated GPU plugin (PEOp.S. software renderer)
• Speed ​​limit activate/deactivate with F4 hotkey (more convenient than the in-game GPU plugin menu)
• “Visual rumble” feature: simulate rumbles by shaking the display
