A free PS1 emulator with support for plugins, ROMs and several different games that can function with wireless controls such as those for Windows, PlayStation or Xbox.
ePSXe is a PS1 console emulator able to play discs issued for the original PlayStation system on your Windows Desktop. Though in order to be able to play these games you will require the PSX Bios which is only available if you are legally entitled to it. You can obtain the PSX Bios by using an action replay or by utilizing a gameshark.
This program, though, will give you the opportunity to play your old PSX games directly on your Windows desktop.
This latest version of ePSXe has not been updated in a while, though the latest update did improve a number of features including support for many games which tended to crash and the MDEC coder has been redone.
