For me controller works with normal bios in Crash 1 Pal. Do you have dualshock or analog controller enabled in options maybe? Some games only take standard controller and I know Crash 1 is one of those games.
For Ape Escape pal you need the .sbi file to get past the title screen. Don't know what your issue with the game is. Obviously to run Ape Escape you need to set dualshock controller. I know this game works,though fps isn't the best.
The games i have working are Sara Getchu(Ape Escape), Grandia, Silhouette Mirage, and Bust A Groove, I'm trying out Medievil when i'm back from my job at a retro game store in Shibuya, since i'm feeling in a nice mood i'll let people ask if a certain game works and if i got it at home in my box of playstation games i'll let you all know. Happy holidays everyone

Since PCSX seems to be doing well with updates, I’m gonna have to test the games I tried before. Some of the ones I tried almost played perfectly. I’ll get to some of them after work today.
final fantasy 9 runs well but does freeze on the rare occasion I got up to black waltz 2 before the first freeze happened.
i’m on cfw running the 1.8.1 stable build of this emu and the only 2 games i tried which are croc 1 and 2 lag like hell
i don’t see how this newer version of the emu is full speed bc this isn’t full speed at all
i’m on a new 3ds xl

theres no chance the old 3ds will emulate ps1 games decently
Resident Evil 2 Dual Shock (U) CD1 (Leon) works fine with normal framerate.
Metal Gear Solid (U) runs somewhat sluggish but is kinda playable with frameskip set to 1
Mega Man X5 (U) runs slow as hell and given the action nature of the game, it's really unplayable.
Klonoa - Door to Phantomille (U): Slow, even with frameskip.
Chrono Cross (U): roughly 45~50 FPS, playable but not a good experience on battles.

Update:
BIN files only list. increase performance dramatically by converting BIN files into PSP's .PBP format
very early impressions on most of the games / minimal playtime
almost all games have certain things in common: pre rendered video cut scenes are butchered, voices causes often huge frame dips and cause stuttering. A few games have clear voices and don't drop in frames because of it?!
3D games (BIN files)
Breath of Fire IV US = 59 FPS (drops in some cut scenes) - (so far) really playable
Pac Man World (US) = 39 FPS (frame throttle 2.0x > 59 FPS) - playable / really playable with frame throttle
Front Mission 3 US = 59 FPS really playable
Xenogears CD1 US = 59 FPS = very playable, small frame drops in 3D battle encounters
Gex 3 US = 39 ish FPS = unplayable / frame throttle 2.0x / 3.0x in game 59 FPS = playable
3D games / notable mentions / mixed results (BIN files)
Disney's Hercules (US) = playable - however butchered voices causes in game frame drops
Looney Tunes Sheep Raider (US) = 39 FPS - unplayable (not tested with frame throttle)
Tail Concerto (US) = 39 FPS and below, audio stuttering, huge drops
Mega Man Legends (US) = 30-39 FPS unplayable
Pepsi Man (JP) = 40-50 FPS playable with frame throttle. However a lackluster experience over all
Threads of Fate (US) = 30-45 FPS (ft 2.0x) somewhat playable, but not worth it
2D games - full speed / very playable (mostly 59 FPS) (BIN files)

(needs more testing with frame throttle settings)
Valkyrie Profile (US) (partial 3D encouters) clear voices, smooth intro, however FPS drops in 3D battles & choppy town screen transitions = playable
Tales of Phantasia (JP) (english patched) stuttering voices, needs more testing, battles not tested = probably playable
Super Robot Taisen Alpha Gaiden (JP) (strategy) (english patched) heavy on voices, stuttering, frame dips = playable
Mega Man X4 (US) 39 FPS*ish (from memory) unplayable
SpongeBob SquarePants - SuperSponge (EU) (heavy on voices, stuttering, frame dips) unplayable

Gunners Heaven (JP) (bin) = glitches, all sprites are missing, only background = unplayable

GeGeGe no Kitarou - Gyakushuu! Youma Daikessen (JP) (platformer) = 59 FPS, very playable (skip all voices and in game cut scenes with "select")
Discworld II (US) (adventure) (eboot) almost flawless, cut scenes, voices are smooth = very playable
Tales of Phantasia (JP) (eboot) (english patched) clean voices, runs very well
3D
Jersy Devil (US) (platormer) (bin) surprisingly very playable
RayStorm (US) (shmup) very playable 59 FPS [drops frames depending how is going on the screen 45-59 FPS, frame throttle 2.0x helps with lower end FPS, however still performing surprisingly smooth and very playable considering it's 3D SHMUP]

PCSX ReARMed for 3DS right now works best with ".pbp" (PlayStation Portable "eboot.PBP" files)
Convert your PS1 backups (BIN files) with PSX2PSP into the .PBP (compressed) format, to increases comparability and prevent audio & video stuttering. This can cause huge frame drops and can make a game unplayable or crash in rare cases entirely.
P.S. Ofiicial PS3 / PSP (eboot.pbp) PlayStation Network (PSN) files won't work.

Attempted to convert and play three games (Clocktower, Intelligent Qube, Biohazard directors cut). None worked. One caused an error forcing reboot the other two kicked it back to the main menu.
