Right, since people seem to be unclear on this:

- The 2D graphics in EPSXE are not screwed up if you use the right GPU plugin and configure it correctly

- EPSXE is not illegal, however it requires a copy of the psx BIOS to run which is ilegal if you don't own a real playstation (I downloaded my bios from my PS1 via a comms cable/ catflap)

- There are some ps1 emulators like Bleem! which are discontinued because they came packaged with the ps1 bios, thus sony sued them for a stupid amount of money and shut them down.

- There are no ps1 "ROMS" they are disc images or real cd's, using a disc image is illegal because it means you've got a copied version of an orignal disc ( yes you might have made it from your "real" ps1 disc but thats still illegal remeber )

- So in short, you have to own a real ps1, you need an original copy of the ps1 version of the game, if you have a disc image its illegal, same for a copy of the ps1 bios without owning a ps1
