You need to get the BIOS file seperately from the emulator (Distributing Sony code with the emulator is illegal) Do a quick search on Google for it, and all of the plugins you will need. The readme's should have told you you would need the plugins for it.

Pete's various plugins work quite well, last I knew. Unless something better has cropped up in the meantime.

I don't know anything about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, but try to play with the settings until it gets better.

I think the first two played okay in ePSXe, but I can't check.

I remember they had bad missing polygons and flashing textures in all versions but the last Beta of Bleem.

Try different plugins, settings, etc. What kind of video card do you have?

I took me around 2 hours to get ePSXe to work good the first time I used it, (Final Fantasy 7!!) but once I figured it all out, it was great. Now, I had some serious problems with final fantasy 9, (speed problems) but other than that, ePSXe works best. (Now does anyone have an N64 emulator that will run Paper Mario?)

I just remembered, one of the video plugins for ePSXe has a problem where the textures will flash to just a plain colour with no shading. I believe it is the "Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.56". When I switched to another plugin, I had no problem. Oh, also if your ePSXe didn't come with plugins, I think the one @ http://www.zophar.net came with plugins.

I have PJ64...it has problems with some kind of masking I think, so it shows black boxes around everything.

Try using a different plugin, it can make a hell of a difference. For example using Jabo's D3D7 plugin I got parts of the game not displayed in Evangelion but when I switched to Jabo's D3D6 it worked perfectly.

With ePSXe it's a case of fiddling around until you get something you like.
