Press ''Next'' and you will be brought to the Audio plug-in screen. You didn't download an audio plug-in for ePSXe because it comes with one. Select it and press ''Next'' twice to be brought to the Controller config screen. If you have a controller plugged into your computer, press ''Controller 1'' and map out the buttons you want to use. Click ''Next'' one more time and press ''Done."

Run your PlayStation games from your DVD drive or you can run them from an ISO file, which is an image of a DVD or CD. To start the game, click on file from ePSXe's menu bar and select either ''Run CD-ROM'' or ''Run ISO." Your game will start. Enjoy.
