Basically i downloaded it and extracted it perfectly as far as i can tell. Downloaded the game i want to play which seemed to be extracted fine, fiddled around with the thing for 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get it to run the game and failed miserably. Could someone please explain the process of using the emulator? I have very limited tech knowledge just to warn you.

I searched a couple tutorials and came up with my first problem. When i click the white controller thingy aka ePSXe.exe A window pops up that says unable to locate component. This application has failed to start because zlib1.dll was not found. Re-installing application may may fix this problem.

After following its advice 3 times i gave up and wrote this message. If anyway knows what to do help would be greatyly appreciated.

first get ePSXe: http://www.epsxe.com/files/epsxe170.zip
extract that file.

you also need video plugins, i recomend petes plugins.
this is the zip you need: http://www.pbernert.com/gpupete177.zip
extract that to the plugins folder in your ePSXe folder

download the bios file: http://www.filefactory.com/file/a2c6aec/n/PSX_BIOS_SCPH1001_zip
extract that to the bios folder in your ePSXe folder

download this dll: http://www.filefactory.com/file/affgb2f/n/zlib1_zip
extract it to your ePSXe folder

run ePSXe, if you havnt done it run the setup wizard, it will either start when you start the program or you can find it under config, wizard guide.
the bios file should be on the list as scph1001 so selct that. select petes dx6 d3d driver, then just click next till your done. (change the controller settings if you want)

extract the game you got to a folder of your choice, i recomend you make a folder in the ePSXe folder called games and put it there.

if you find another archive in the first one extract that too.
you should in the end have a file with an extention like .bin, .iso, .img, .cue, .ccd or .mds

when you have configured ePSXe click file, run iso, then browse to where your game is and select it from the list.

let me know how you go with it

yeah zlib is a tricky one, and you have to get it seperate, as detailed above.
hope the tutorial i posted up helps

It worked perfectly. Thanks for all the help.

That's actually one thing I was hoping that David would -eventually- fix. Another problem I had with the download was... I can't remember the name, but it was another rare-found component you could either get it for American or England's PS consoles, or something of the sort.
