Never before used this emulator, but I have used PCSX2 with no problem. I am using Darkman's D3D driver, should I be using a different one? Sound is ePSXe SPU core 1.7.0 and CD-ROM is ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.7.0.

I am trying to get beyond the beyond working, but all I get when I start the emu is the Sony Computer Entertainment logo and then a black screen, any advice?

Yup. That's your problem. That video plugin is ancient. Use the Pete's/P.E.Op.S. plugins instead.

If your hardware supports OpenGL2 then use the OpenGL2 plugin, else, use the original OpenGL plugin or the D3D plugins.

Sweet, working great now. Would you recommend I use P.E.Op.S. DSound PSX SPU over the SPU core 1.7.0 that came with the emulator?

No use Eternal SPU instead.

If you could, come up with your favorite top 20 or 30 and e-mail a list to me. [email protected]
On your list, there were several I had stopped watching, but also several that were on my fav list. I only make a list of the ones I thought were great, which I put above after I deducted the ones you already had.
