Open Source and already better looking than epsxe, the memory card editor is a useful tool, it has a game list. In contrast epsxe seems to not have been updated in years

Duckstation is far more stable than ePSXe. It just works right out of the box. Effects are also easy to apply, quicksaves/quickloads don't crash the game, and is generally less of a hassle and more feature-rich than ePSXe. I'm surprised it isn't known by more people!
