FPSE and PSXPERIA: Which one to use?

---

It's a good thing that we have multiple options in terms of emulation. So which emulator should we use and why?

Obviously if a game works for one and not the other, the choice is clear.

But what about games that work well on both? What are the differences?

Ultimately the choice is your own, but know that there are subtle differences between the emulators.

The native emulator appears to have some filtering going on when SW-render is on, and higher res models when SW-render is off. The native emulator also seems to have more stable frame rates when a game works.

A bonus for using the native emulator is this:

Analog support, Hardware Acceleration, Playstation Pocket compatibility. All reasons why I will be using PSXPERIA whenever possible, and FPSE in other situations. Tekken 3 for example, no contest, the PSXPERIA version beats the pants off of the FPSE version. Your screenshots speak volumes.

Yeah alll the games I like work fine of PSXPERIA

For me, the only negative things with PSXPeria compared to FPSE are:

1. Lack of easily configurable options. Just to fine tune that game!
2. Lack of a multiple save state system that is quick to use.

That's all at the moment.

Yeah what we need is the Sony Emulator devs to be in this forum

lack of multi disk support, lack of compatibility .....

And you guys wonder why FPse devs cant be bothered adding touchpad support, if i was them and i came here, I'd igore the play users too

The few games I like gets stuck with no graphic, just black nothingness within the first mission, with psxperia but with fpse they work without any graphic glitches.
Even more the analog touchpad does not work correctly in those games either.
So I choose fpse any day as of now and if they implement analog touchpad it would be a signed deal for me. Further more it has far more settings to finetune to optimize the gaming experience

In the prefrences.xml file, the bottom line says:

<boolean name="Analog Mode" value="false" />

Try turning it to true .... maybe the sticks will work

Lots of games are single disc, but lack of compatibility?!?!? Ive compiled over 50 games thus far. I have 35 flawlessly working games now. Id say thats a pretty good ratio for something that was never supposed to work in the first place. To enable analog support you have to go to controls in the menu and change to option 6. Works amazingly well in Crash 3, Spyro 3, Need for Speed 3, Tekken 3, and the list goes on. This is what the X-Play was meant to be!

Strangely the native has PERFECT FMV, something schtruck said was difficult to emulate.

Oh and psxperia runs faster too and less graphical glitches from what I tested

Oh and its free and the UI is soooo sexy
