PS1 emulation speed

[+atari2600land]

I don't know why, but the PS1 game I'm making runs a lot faster on PSXeven than on ePSXe. Which PS1 emulator should I use? Which is the closest to the real thing?

ePSXe is well regarded as the best free PS1 emulator. There's settings that might alter emulation speed, PAL/NTSC being just one of them.

 

You could try VGS but it was commercial and discontinued so maybe not so easy to get hold of.

I tried running it in PAL in ePSXe, but it was still slow. Here is a link to my game I'm making. What I'm having trouble doing is determining how fast the bird's wings flap.

Those Playstation emulators aren't that accurate. They're designed to play commercial games at decent speed on underpowered hardware, and are full of game-specific hacks and such for that purpose. Your homebrew most likely won't run on an emulator like it would on real hardware.

atari2600land: Mednafen is an emulator that focuses on emulation accuracy. You should try it out.

How do I get this stupid Mednafen program to work with PSX files?!

[Kr0tki]

What's a PSX file?

 

And where are the details of your problem? Steps-to-reproduce? Error messages?

It's an .exe file type. I just want to know what to type in DOS to make it work.

Ah. Well, I've never run PS-EXE files in Mednafen. Try asking on their forums. Maybe you'll have to place the file on an ISO image first.
