Not really. ePSXe is the PSX version of ZSNES or NeoRageX - a shambling pile of per-game hacks that bears only a tangential relationship to how the hardware actually worked, but everyone uses it because it's what their friends have. (Sort of like Windows, actually).

Oh, good, we've crossed from thinly-veiled trolling to thinly-veiled condescension.
(SDL)MAME runs a majority of the games people care about (CPS1/CPS2/NeoGeo + the "golden oldies") quite well on pretty much anything over 1 GHz if you have hardware OpenGL and/or multiple cores. Given by the end of the year you won't be able to buy a phone that doesn't meet those specs let alone a computer, it's not worth my while to go chasing waterfalls.
