EPSXE is a good emulator, its a pain to configure though, you can get one for the xbox too if its modded, but the xbox dosen't like to read psx1 cd's :/

If you don't know the answer, don't post. It's pretty simple.

You shouldn't be emulating Abe's Oddysee. Can't you just play it on the PS1 normally or just buy it for the PC like a normal person?

I like ePSXe, but the real trick is finding the best config: It took me an hour to get Spyro the Dragon right.

Well, I just got ePSXe. Actually extracting AO ROM (I have the game, my playstation broke >_>) to my documents right now. Although I'm not sure if I'm doing this right XD.

mollucks assistant, Ghost was right (though it would have been better if she hadn't sworn). If you're not actually contributing to a thread, don't post anything. Don't post to merely agree with something or to say that you don't know anything.

It ok, I used ePSXe, with Pete's Soft GPU, Eternal SPU, and the Sapu CD plugin. And a 7502 Bios.
It only take 10 minutes to configure the graphics for AO.

Surely the legality of such emulators is questionable. Though as two GD proficient moderators have posted here i'll assume they've given it the ok.

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

- Pete's Soft GPU for 2D Games (read in NGEmu forums)

- I already know that

- I'm using Windows XP, I cannot run Bleem! or VGS

- I'm running Abe's Oddysee by CD Drive.

- I've followed this guide to dump the bios, I wasted a little money... Buying DexDrive http://forums.ngemu.com/misc-psx-dis...ing-guide.html

What is legal about emulator:
If you HAVE the CD, or game, and it dosent work and you download whatever it is to play with it, then its ok.
you CAN use the CD in your drive.
Illegal:
Downloading the things if you dont have it, and stealing stuffs. I thinks thats about it.
Oh, and ESPXE is pretty good i heard.

WTFFFFFFFFFF.

I'm pretty sure we discussed emulations of Oddworld here a while ago and pretty much everyone went mad because we weren't allowed to talk about such evil things here.

Like an alternate universe O.o
