Disable HLE Bios, use a physical one
I've ran into opcode errors particularly when loadstating with HLE bios enabled, it might be likely cause of your problem
EDIT: Use DuckStation, ePSXe is abandonware

thanks for your response, what do you mean by using a physical bios?

 

Uncheck Enable HLE Bios
then ensure you have a bios in the folder then select it

Also as a precaution set threading mode to accurate in graphics settings

Thank you so much! this worked

 

I'm having a hard time getting DD Raw to work on ePSXe mobile any suggestions?

 

Me too please, I have such fond memories of Destruction Derby Raw and can't get it to work on ePSXe on Android.

 

Do not use ePSXe, it is abandonware.

DuckStation is a modern emulator that is in active development
Supported on both Windows and Android

Update I downloaded a physical bios for ePSXe and it works perfectly now I suggest doing the same if anyone else is having issues.
