A few ISO's running weird.

Can someone please give me good specifications for running the following games,Street Sk8er 1/2 - The screen goes black and doesn't load, i'm using ePSXe 1.6 haven't tried it with 1.5 yet.
The Hive - Runs very laggy, bad.

You can try using 1.7.0. What plugins are you using?

I'll have to check back on what plugins, it's on my other computer and I still need to transfer it to my laptop. I also wasn't aware there was an ePSXe 1.7.0 now, been a while since i've run emulators.
