My friends, what's the best config of ePSXe for windows 10 home version 21H2?

I followed a couple of tutorials on YouTube but none of them make the emulator work

I tried Pete's OpenGL2 Driver 2.9, Pete's OpenGL2 GPU core 2.0.0, and ePSXe GPU core 2.0.0 but none of them worked, just have those issues:

Dunno, I believe maybe I did a bad config or something, can you guys help me?

you don't need any guide, use DuckStation or RetroArch Beetle PSX HW.

or

RetroArch (Windows, linux, macOS, android, iOS, ...) [opensource]

RetroArch [pls, use the most updated version]

open RetroArch, Online Updater, choose:

* update installed cores;
* update core info files;
* update assets;
* update controller profiles;
* update database;

restart RetroArch;

open RetroArch, Online Updater, Core Downloader:

* Sony - PlayStation (SwanStation) [current LibRetro DuckStation port]
* Sony - PlayStation (Beetle PSX HW)
* Sony - PlayStation (PCSX ReARMed)

pick one or all;

the BIOS are the same as used by:

- Mednafen / RetroArch Beetle PSX/HW;

- DuckStation / RetroArch SwanStation;

for PCSX ReARMed, Mednafen, Beetle PSX/HW and DuckStation/SwanStation

    bios / region / md5

    scph5502.bin EU 32736f17079d0b2b7024407c39bd3050

- the files must have the same names as listed, and using lowercase letters as shown;

- the files must be placed in RetroArch/system folder;

- PCSX ReARMed only needs a single BIOS and will use scph5501.bin;

- when using RetroArch, I recommend SwanStation over all others;

how to play psx (safe guide)

not all games are created equal, some are harder to emulate than others, some are more live streamed, some are more adored. but is it possible to get a secure configuration with bias for the most successful games while using modest hardware? I initially thought of calling this topic "how to...

I concur w/ ofernandofilo's comment: ditch ePSXe and replace it w/ DuckStation. You'll be better off for it.
