Works fine with Win 98 SE,ME,XP ... thats what i tried. I didnt see any speed differences on ePSXe on these three operating systems.What kind of computer you have ? CPU,Graphic card,Sound Card,RAM ...

 

Moving to epsxe discussion as it has nout to do with the website.

 

It really matters not. You just need the appropriate O/S for your PC

 

unlike vgs or bleem! epsxe will run on any version of windows, however make sure you have Directx8.1 installed.

 

Didn't notice any difference on Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows XP Home Edition.

 

It really depends on what video card ou have. If it is a vood00 or a 3dfx card you probably want to stick with 98, as there are no good xp/2000 drivers for 3dfx cards.

 

As alredy said any system will do !!

 

well, you do not have to have directx8.1 installed... i have 8.0 and it works fine (because i have a 56k modem and im too lazy to wait 1 hour for it dl)

 

I'd suggest Win2k and XP. Better install ForceAspi though to get rid of those annoying error messages.

 

slight problem with Win 98se. could some1 help me? just go to the new thread over here.

prob on win98se

 

Greetings,

I would just like to say that I personally think that win98SE is the win OS of choice when running emulators. Despite the lack of stability in 98, there is a definite gain in performance (for me). When running 98, the OS itself takes up significantly less CPU cycles, as winXP (my other OS, I run dual-boot) sucks up quite a bit of cpu power just to make things look 'smooth'. Also, most drivers operate better under 98 anyways. This is especially true for me however, as i have an All-In-Wonder Radeon, and ATI's XP drivers just simply arent up to par. (btw, I dont feel like ATI drivers are bad...it just takes a long time to get an update) So, for me at least, and for you if you have a similiar system, I whole-heartedly recommend playing under win98 to squeeze every last bit of performance you can.

Sincerely,

Actually, I have a voodoo 5 5500 agp and it runs on winxp just fine and fast with the underground winxp 3dfx drivers(3rd party).. I can run epsxe and my pc games just fine.. You can find quite a few good winxp 3dfx drivers at www.voodoofiles.com

 

at least that XP, ME and 98 work
