I’m not sure what you’ve heard but well, with an emulator there always comes a few bugs. I may not be the best person to ask about this but if you’re having trouble running the ePSXe smoothly I recommend looking at this website: https://psxdatacenter.com/There are certain different plugins and configurations needed for each individual game to run well. Whatever default configuration settings you have will not always work smoothly for other games. I like referring to the website I linked above for some of the recommended settings. You can do so by looking at their game list and clicking on the green “info” button by the game title. Then as you scroll down you’ll see a section for “emulation compatibility”, which is just right after the screenshots, for the recommended plugins and settings, including which emulator version you should use for the game. These are only recommended settings however, and will not necessarily give you the ‘best’ results. Sometimes you just have to play around the settings for a while in order get something satisfying. Other times I just deal with the small bugs and glitches found in the game cuz it gets too frustrating lol. Also, I still use a ePSXe 1.7.0 cuz it’s the version I’ve used the longest and I haven’t had much time to test out the newer versions.I hope that answers your question. ^^
