Well folks, it seems that since PC's are getting faster, it's harder to emulate a PSX at the correct speed!
Rather than being too slow as it USED TO be, it's now too FAST!!!
So here's my settings for ePSXe and Lewpy's GLiDE plugin to keep things at a 'playable' speed on newer PC's...
...pay SPECIFIC attention to the COUNTRY and FRAMERATE settings as these influence speed greatly!
Have fun folks! 8)
