playstation emulation made simple!

In a previous post I demonstrated how to emulate cartridge based systems of the 90’s. what if your time wasn’t the 90’s what if you only ever play tomb raider III on the ps1? Well in this post I’ll tell you how to get a Sony PlayStation emulator running. Lara croft will be jumping endlessly in no time! So assuming you know the basics, if not read up (link to cart emu) if you’re ahead on class I shall begin!

To make life really simple and take loads of the headache out of playstation emulation emuparadice put together a little zip file with all necessary files included! - http://www.emuparadise.me/emulators/files/epsxe160_full.7z


Download that file and unzip it in your emulators folder. Now you have a PlayStation on your pc! Now for games. Games on cartridge based machines like the snes use “roms” were as a cd based system will use a virtual copy of an original disk. A really good place to get hold of these files is - www.theisozone.com there is a wealth of games to explore!

After downloading your game and placing it in a folder for your psx games. Open up the emulator. Then click on file, then “run iso” navigate to were you placed your disk images an select a game to play! It really easy. As with any app take your time to explore the menus and options to make it run to you’re liking. Hope this gets you playing some of your old favourites again.
