I can't play Castlevania Symphony of the Night with ePSXe 2.0.5

Whenever I try to a black window appears instead of a window where I can see what I am doing in game.
I selected scph1001.bin as the bios and tried many different video and sound configurations but I keep seeing this black window over and over again.
With both pcsx2 and rpcs3 I could boot and play both PlayStation 2 & 3 roms very quickly but with ePSXe I can't play even one PlayStation 1 game.
What I am doing wrong?
