These plug-ins have a lot more options than most plug-ins. The Special Games fixes in these plug-ins include Final Fantasy 7 and 9, Lunar, Speed Freaks, Killer Hoop, Legend of Dragoon and DW7?

Plug-in: Duddie's Soft Driver 1.9
Type: Graphics Plug-in
Console: Playstation.
Configurations:

Horizontal and vertical Scanlines Option
Create Snapshot at close option.

Notes:
This seems a basic plug-in, for some odd reason the options cannot be ticked in or out of gameplay.

Plug-in: ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.5.2.
Type: Cd-rom Plug-in
Console: Playstation.
Configurations:

Select Cd-rom letter
Enable Subchannel read from cdrom
Enable Subchannel caching to disk.
Enable Subchannel caching for LG-8520/21//22b

Notes:
There is a stern warning about how fiddling around with the subchannel options can do some serious, possibly permanent damage to your cd drive. In essence it would be better to work from an iso.

Additional Note: because you can play with isos a lot better, I'm only doing one Cd-rom plug-in as an example, I feel that the pc can read the disks at to fast a speed and personally thinks it does a slight bit of damage with increased use, playstation read speed is 24x i think while newer cd drives on a pc can be 52x
