ePSXe
ePSXe (enhanced PSX emulator) is a PlayStation emulator for x86-based PC hardware with Microsoft Windows or Linux, as well as devices running Android. It was written by three authors, using the aliases Calb, _Demo_ and Galtor. ePSXe is closed source with the exception of the application programming interface (API) for its plug-ins.
Installation
Install epsxeAUR, along with any plugins. Also, you should have a legally obtained BIOS file handy and place them in ~/.epsxe/bios.
Add yourself to the games user group. If the group does not exist, create it first.
Configuration
Configure video and sound by going to Config > Video and Config > Sound respectively, and configuring the plugins you want. Verify that they are working by clicking the Test buttons in each of the windows.
The CD-ROM path should be set by default. You can check it by going to Config > Cdrom.
Set up the controls for player one by going to Config > Game Pad > Port 1 > Pad 1.
Playing
Run a game from your CD-ROM by clicking File > Run CDROM.
Load up a game from an ISO by clicking File > Run ISO.
You can manipulate game states by going to Run > Save State (F1) and Run > Load State (F3), or using the hotkeys F1 and F3.
Troubleshooting

If the sound plugin does not work and you are using ALSA, see Advanced Linux Sound Architecture#OSS emulation.
